Hi everyone.
I've had a horrible day so I'll cut it short. I was prescribed vaginal suppositories for FET (to help with thin lining) but am having a hell of a time finding a pharmacy to fulfill it. The main one the clinic usually uses wouldn't ship to Texas. Finally found one (Freedom Pharmacy) and they quoted $800. Then we got a call saying that was for suppositories and that our doc prescribed tablets... and the cost for tablets would be $1700. Well shoot.
Did any of you use Vaginal Viagra? If so what did you use tablets or suppositories?
How much did you have to pay out of pocket? Were you able to get it covered by insurance? Is so how?
If you're from Texas what pharmacy did you use? Or even if you're not but used a service out of state.... what was it?
I'm in a panic. I need to order this asap and have emailed my doc to clarify if I'm needed one vs. the other, and requested to re issue order if suppositories are equally effective. Otherwise, tablets seem like something I could get at like CVS no? Ahhhh..... what do I do!? This is a med I've never had to use before so no clue where to get it from, what it should cost etc.

Also you should ask your RE to prescribe the generic medication called Sildenafil. Viagra is the brand name from Pfizer and much more expensive than generics. They are exactly the same and have the same effect, just have a very different price tag. I think my Sildenafil cost only 40% of Viagra.
