I have egg freezing medication I would like to donate

Hello! I tried to freeze my eggs 3 times, and each time they failed. On the last occasion, I bought all the medication I needed (£1500) ahead of my first scan, but they told me I only had 1 follicle so I abandoned the process.

I can't go through this a 4th time - the expense alone is just too much. I've also decided to try naturally and hope for the best, so instead of throwing my medication away I would really love it to go to a woman who was once in my shoes.

I know we all have different prescriptions, but this is the medication I have, unopened and kept in the fridge. I bought it all from Asda on 7th January 2021 and they are valid for 12 months. Even if you don't think you'll need it, perhaps there might be someone you know who might? Thank you!

2 x GONAL F 900 IU/1.5 ml
1 x GONAL F 300 IU/0.5
2 X OVITRELLE 250 MICROGRAMS

It's illegal to give / donate / sell proscribed medicine sorry OP

Unfortunately you just don't know the intentions of whoever you'd be giving it you. They could sell it on for profit and take advantage of someone else in a desperate situation or try a DIY fertility treatment themselves without medical monitoring which would be dangerous. Also I know you have good intentions but no one can know if what you have is genuine or been stored correctly either

It's crap and I dont know why clinics haven't figured out a way to be able to re use unopened and unused drugs yet

This is so disappointing! Thank you for letting me know. Breaks my heart a little bit having to chuck this stuff knowing there's a woman out there who needs it but can't afford.

There are other sites you can try. I know it's not legal but plenty of people do it.
