How much did you pay for Lubion?

Just that really, how much did you pay for Lubion and where did you buy it from?
I have just been prescribed this for my next fet in addition to cyclogest pessaries.
The clinic recommended I buy the Lubion from Asda as the hospital don't have this and it would cost me the price of a prescription or thereabouts.
When I went to Asda today they wanted to charge £154 (25mg a day for 2 weeks).
I am waiting for a call back from the clinic but thought I would ask you lovely ladies in the meantime.

I got mine from healthcare at home via the hospital and was £215 I think for 19 days plus progynova (which is cheap I think) so not 100% sure but must be similar to your quoted cost x

Hi OP, we got ours from Stork Fertility (I think Biodose is the main company name) - they charged £57.05 for a box of 7 vials and then 50p per injection for sharps. There’s also a £60 processing/delivery fee.

I was on 2 injections a day so it was VERY expensive for us if we ordered directly from our clinic!

I paid £56 per box of 7 vials at Asda, two different pharmacies so should be a set price. My clinic supplied needles and syringes. I couldn't get it for under £80 anywhere else. It's not a standard medication so had to be specially ordered so I was warned out could take up to 5 days to get in but in practice it always came in 3. It's a bit of a pain to get hold of but I think much easier to take than the intramuscular ones.

Thank you for your replies. Seems the price I was quoted is pretty standard then.

Could I ask how long you continue with Lubion if you get a bfp?

Hi OP - I was on it until 10 weeks, along with a load of other types of progesterone, oestrogen, cleans and god knows what else.

I would be prepared, it can get v expensive! I was with CRGH in London and they are quite intensive tho, you might not need to be on it for so long x
