Hi all.  I spoke with my fertility med pharmacy this morning (Village Fertility Pharm) to order my meds (!!) and apparently there is a shortage on lupron and some pharmacies are already out.  Just a heads up if you need it soon!

    Huh??? There must be an explosion of ppl doing ivf. How are they low on Lupron? Is it the leuprolide acetate or compounded Lupron?

    @dragonette505 I was told leuprolide — I’m new to this so I’m not sure if they can just give me something else or what, I’m waiting for my doctor to tell me whether I order or not... I was supposed to keep it on hold if I need it for OHSS but they basically said I probably won’t get it if I wait til then.

    cmarieb35  a compounding pharmacy can make you a batch (ive had this before), but you'd have to have a local compounding pharmacy. The leuprolide is more shelf stable I think and seems to last a bit longer unopened. I just ordered some Lupron (leuprolide) a couple weeks ago and they even accidentally sent me an extra. Hopefully you can get enough for now.

    Just seeing this - I ran into this problem in January with some specialty pharmacies being out of it. Freedom had some but my insurance didn't cover so I ended up using CVS specialty pharmacy and they compounded and were able to overnight it FedEx to me. I wish you the best! Mine was stressful as it took a couple of weeks of searching and it arrived in the nick of time the night before I had to start injecting.

    Thanks @dragonette505 and @Momifbysea!  My doctor basically left it to me if I wanted to get it now to have it on hand in case I need it or wait and potentially have to get it somewhere else.  She did say other pharmacies are not out.  It was only an extra $30 so I just went ahead and ordered it now so I don’t potentially have an issue should I need it in a few weeks.  It should get here today!

    Exactly - I don’t need anything else to worry about!  Especially if I need it since it’ll be related to OHSS.
