IVF fertility drugs

[CharlotteIVF]

Hi all,

I'm just about to start the IVF process (appointment on Monday with the nurse to go through the instructions for the injections etc). I've been told that you don't have to buy the fertility drugs at the clinic you're getting treatment and that it can be much cheaper to source them elsewhere.

Does anyone have any recommendations for where I should start looking? I don't know exactly what I need yet, will find out on Monday, but would be good to shop around a bit to get an idea in the meantime. My acupuncturist said ASDA and Tesco's actually do it for a good price (which was a big surprise!).

Any tips or thoughts on this would be really appreciated!

Thanks so much

I got mine at ASDA. It worked out much cheaper, even though my clinic charges £60 to write a private prescription. I was on high doses of Gonal F, though, which is an expensive drug.

Thanks very much Cattenberg, looks like ASDA is a good place to start!
Hope it all went well for you.

It did thanks!

I expect you’ll get more replies if you ask the mods to move this thread to the infertility board. There are lots of ladies there who’ve had IVF.

Ah, good point! Not posted before so thanks v much for the tip. Have now done that!
