Ordering IVF drugs - Lloyds pharmacy etc vs clinic service - any experience?

[mrsroboto]

I've had 1x fresh ICSI and 1x frozen transfer cycle via private clinic. They ordered all the drugs for me and for the fresh cycle this cost over £1000 from a company called Stork/Biodose. Didn't mind paying for this so much as had to be delivered refrigerated but I saw the service charge was £50.

Second cycle I had nasal spray, tablets and pessaries and they still charged the £50 service charge. Happily I had a BFP so need to order more pessaries and progynova but don't want to pay Stork charge/prices so looking at Lloyds it's far cheaper, will save me £100!

Only thing is I'm not too sure of the process with a private prescription - it says you have to send the paper prescription off to a freepost address then they'll process your order and deliver it. But could I also just bring it into a branch of Lloyds pharmacy to order, so it doesn't get lost in the post etc?
Any tips welcome....

Whenever I had a private prescription, I just walked into my local branch where they ordered if not in stock. I imagine it's exactly the same for fertility meds.

thanks, I was hoping i'd be able to do that! one less thing to worry about...

Right, well just for future reference... Lloyds is very confusing and gave us misleading info.
Online, the prescription costs were about £79. You had to order online then send off the paper prescription, but got free delivery or collect in a store.
Rang to ask if just ordering instore would be a different price and they said they 'didn't see why not'.
Took prescription in today and they called back just now and said it would be £175. When I asked why it was different they said it's because the online store has little to do with their pharmacy as a branch. Really p'd off that I spent two days chasing this prescription and picking it up, dropping it off, to try and save £100 when I can't even do that!
I'll still do the online ordering as long as I can check it's not going to take ages as I'll need them soon.

That's insane! I've always used the pharmacy and have never compared prices - I'll know better for next time
