Why should we pay more for them? And 30%, that's a huge difference, I am sure they are still earning tons from their market in the EU., so what profit margin do they have here? It's crazy.</p> <p>For the meds I needed, the cheapest pharmacy in the US (including a 25% discount from the Compassionate Care program) would have come up to 2900$;</p> <p>I ordered those meds from IVFmeds.com (out of London, I believe) and they cost me 1900$ including express shipment. I ordered on Wed, uploaded my doctors scripts, payed with Mastercard and received the meds the following Monday!</p> <p>I was a bit nervous, but now I am really glad we did this and saved 1000$. </p> <p>The gonal-f is manufactured by MerckSerono and looks exactly like the pen that I ordered at CVS earlier this year - except for the language is czech.<br /> The Cetrotide is also manufactured by MerckSerono, and comes with the syringe and needles - instructions in english.<br /> The Menopur comes with a glass vial, but there is an instruction video here : <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7Qo-2BT3TY" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7Qo-2BT3TY</a> on how to use it.</p> <p>Hope this helps someone save money! </p> [attach=8353/17/osjfyg.600x450.IMG_0081.JPG] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivfmedscom-or-ivfpharmacycom-1#post-2476145 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 12:24:07 +0000 BSB 2476145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had no IVF med coverage like you but I used WinFertility to get my meds. I didn't try oversea pharmacy. I guess I was afraid of getting the wrong meds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivfmedscom-or-ivfpharmacycom-1#post-2476128 Fri, 26 Feb 2016 12:14:46 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 2476128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Update on my second order: I received everything Wednesday, 2/24. I ordered on Monday, 2/15 in the afternoon. They were out of ganirelix and sent me an email Monday night. I responded almost immediately to change the order. They shipped it out Wednesday/Thursday. If God forbid I need another round, I will use them again, but I will push the RE for my med list earlier so I don't stress about getting them in time.</p> <p>ETA: meds are same as in the US. Any differences are listed on their website and don't matter medically. The boxes are different. Menopur comes in packs of 10 and the vials of saline are slightly different but I like them better. Cetrotide comes in packs of seven, which is more than I needed, but would have cost the same in the US for the amount I needed and now have three extra. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivfmedscom-or-ivfpharmacycom-1#post-2470071 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 12:33:47 +0000 Amorini 2470071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yospaghetti: Sorry I'm late chiming in here, but I used IVFPharmacy without any problem. I only ordered one type of medicine so not a huge experience to share but the only difference was the packaging. My order arrived in less than one week. I was so surprised! I saved hundreds of dollars and would do it again. There was a little gap in communication between when it was ordered and when the tracking became available, but it all turned out. Best of luck to you. :goodluck: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivfmedscom-or-ivfpharmacycom-1#post-2470055 Mon, 22 Feb 2016 12:23:57 +0000 yospaghetti 2470055@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Thank you all!! i did a lot of research on inspire that reassured me that it is pretty safe *crossing my fingers*.</p> <p>thank you for all your helpful advise!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivfmedscom-or-ivfpharmacycom-1#post-2468699 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 14:25:18 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 2468699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've used ivf pharmacy.com 1.5 times (waiting on second order). The products are the exact same medically and any other differences are listed on the site. For example, Menopur has slightly different vials and they only sell in boxes of ten. They are a little slow responding to questions, 2-3 days, but are helpful when they respond. First order wasn't shipped for 3 days but arrived seven days after they shipped it. Tracking is slow, but seven days from Israel is good, especially since it was a week before Christmas. They sometimes are out of stock- first order, they were out of follistim 300 the first time I ordered, but had 600 or gonal f 300. Second order, they were out of ganirelix but had cetrotide. On the first order, one gonal f pen wasn't properly sealed and they offered to send me another, which would have been too late, so they refunded me. There isn't a place I've found that has great prices and great service. Service here is reasonable and prices are great, and two week arrival is guaranteed. Overall, the headaches are worth the savings IMO. I also considered ivf prescriptions.com but read the same review on multiple boards that made me feel a little uneasy. I've heard ivf meds takes longer than ivf pharmacy. For meds in the US, I usually use winfertility. Pregnyl, Zithromax, and estrace are cheaper from them than anywhere including Europe. When I needed to order follistim quickly, they overnighted it for $205. You have to purchase in a bundle (two different meds) but with estrace or Zithromax, it's still relatively cheap. Good luck! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivfmedscom-or-ivfpharmacycom-1#post-2468476 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 07:20:03 +0000 NorthStar 2468476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll put this post link on our IVF board (feel free to join us over there!) as I know at least one of us has used them.

I will do more research on both sites, but I have a pretty good feeling about them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivfmedscom-or-ivfpharmacycom-1#post-2468052 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 15:24:58 +0000 PurplePumps 2468052@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yospaghetti: I haven't used them, but there are ladies here who have used them as well as many ladies on inspire. They ship from UK and are the same meds as you would buy here. I takes about 1-2 weeks to receive I believe, but personally, I would give it 3-4 weeks just to make sure everything got here on time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivfmedscom-or-ivfpharmacycom-1#post-2467975 Fri, 19 Feb 2016 14:25:32 +0000 yospaghetti 2467975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all,</p> <p>I am planning to freeze my eggs in the next two months or so.
