I know several women have ordered theirs from overseas using ivfmeds and have saved thousands, but I personally don't have experience with them.

If you’re in the US and go to a non profit clinic/hospital you might be able to get cheaper meds thru a government discount plan.

Be sure to sign up for First Steps and Compassionate Care programs. I know some people get good discounts thru them. If you don't qualify for First Steps, some pharmacies like MDR will still give 5% cash back for cash paying people. We didn't qualify, but still saved us $200 - 300 on meds.

@knottie3c77aa7e8fefe390My husband and I personally got my meds at FastIVF and saved lots of $$, our RE recommended their pharmacy to us for our treatment.
After reading this post I tried FastIVf and I had a wonderful experience....and a lot cheaper than the original pharmacies I was directed to for my medications. The staff was fantastic to work with and they put a lot of my stress at ease over all of this.
