They've always been so nice to me. The first time they called me I was outside in a loud parking lot and practically screaming at them to repeat everything but they were so patient. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pharmacy-options#post-1203302 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 20:46:28 +0000 Shutterbug 1203302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use Village Fertility Pharmacy. They're actually on the same road as my RE, and I went there in person the first time. They were suuuuper nice, and their phone customer service is great, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pharmacy-options#post-1203290 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 20:35:10 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1203290@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: thanks! We didn't get a chance to view all the pharmacies listed but one did have lower prices!</p> <p>Goodrx.com was also getting it down to $250/mo ish... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pharmacy-options#post-1203227 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 20:10:29 +0000 FaithFertility 1203227@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: my vote is Freedom :) I too am taking crinone its $225 a box for 15 applications, that = $15 per tube. .....yikes, never thought it that way, but there customer service is AMAZING! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pharmacy-options#post-1203006 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 18:11:52 +0000 Trailmix 1203006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also used freedom fertility and had a great experience but everything was mostly covered by insurance... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pharmacy-options#post-1203003 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 18:10:34 +0000 BSB 1203003@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know if this link is still current, but it has a good link for a bunch of affordable fertility pharmacies. <a href="http://returntogobaby.com/2012/11/16/affordable-fertility-pharmacies/" rel="nofollow">http://returntogobaby.com/2012/11/16/affordable-fertility-pharmacies/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pharmacy-options#post-1202999 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 18:09:26 +0000 twinmama 1202999@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Have you checked Costco's formulary? I know I got my prometrium much cheaper there.</p> <p>Freedom often has coupons on their website.</p> <p>Can you ask your RE/OB for samples or coupons? I know they don't always volunteer them, but if you tell them you don't have insurance for it, they'll often have something to offer! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pharmacy-options#post-1202989 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 18:00:29 +0000 Happygal 1202989@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: that's a good thing! I would call Mandell's as well--based on what I paid, I see that their injetables are much cheaper than Freedom's. Not sure if the same would be true for crinone. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pharmacy-options#post-1202957 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 17:47:22 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1202957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Crap, freedom is getting great reviews! I admit, they were incredibly nice over the phone. Really, really nice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pharmacy-options#post-1202939 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 17:39:20 +0000 justdarling 1202939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used 2 different pharmacies. The first one I used was a Walgreen specialty pharmacy and had a horrible experience with them. The second was freedom fertility and would use them again. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pharmacy-options#post-1202937 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 17:38:23 +0000 BSB 1202937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: My IVF packet is at home and they gave me a list of recommended pharmacies. When I get home, I'll take a look.</p> <p>I know one of them was one I heard had the best prices. I can't remember the name of it, nor, do I remember where I read the recommedations (either internet, HB or facebook). </p> <p>ETA: Oh, I found the name. I heard good things about <a href="http://www.freedomfertility.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.freedomfertility.com/</a>.</p> <p>Oh, I don't know if this online pharmacy does IVF meds but I've used this pharmacy for my IUI HCG injection. <a href="http://www.stroheckersrx.com/fertility.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.stroheckersrx.com/fertility.php</a> This one is a Pacific NW pharmacy and I'm not sure why my office chooses this one. Maybe because of it's location. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pharmacy-options#post-1202930 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 17:35:48 +0000 twodoghouse 1202930@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My RE's office goes through Braun Pharmacare. I don't know how the pricing compares, as I didn't really shop around, but the costs of my IVF meds were substantially lower than my sister's! They were very nice to work with and they sent everything next day shipping so when I had to reorder something, it was here really fast. Also - and I fully admit this is a super minor thing in the grand scheme of things - every time I'd call on the phone to reorder a prescription they would tell wish me luck with our treatments. I know it's sort of silly, but it brought me to tears every time! (Hormones!!!) </p> <p>Good luck, I hope you can find a less expensive option for your crinone! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pharmacy-options#post-1202926 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 17:33:24 +0000 sweetooth 1202926@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Do you have a price you would put on customer service? I could call last minute and get things overnight and I always dealt with someone who was super nice and able to handle me in my fragile state. I know what you mean about the cringeworthy cost of it all... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pharmacy-options#post-1202920 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 17:31:37 +0000 Happygal 1202920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No idea on the pricing, but I got my injectables and supplies through Mandell's Pharmacy: <a href="http://www.mandellspharmacy.com/fertility-products/#crinone" rel="nofollow">http://www.mandellspharmacy.com/fertility-products/#crinone</a></p> <p>They sent me chocolate and everyone was so kind of the phone, so I'm a fan! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pharmacy-options#post-1202918 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 17:29:33 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1202918@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sweetooth: that's who I was referred to! $17/each makes me cringe.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pharmacy-options#post-1202914 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 17:27:10 +0000 sweetooth 1202914@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p><a href="http://www.freedomfertility.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.freedomfertility.com/</a></p> <p>Freedom Fertility Pharmacy is who I worked with.

They were convenient to work with, and once I was set up with them I could order refills online and have them shipped overnight or 2-day. They participate in the discount programs and if your order is over a certain amount the trigger shot is free. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pharmacy-options#post-1202897 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 17:20:48 +0000 just_ju 1202897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I also used Walgreens specialty (for injectibles) - no insurance coverage on meds, but you can enroll in the design rx program for free and get a discount. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pharmacy-options#post-1202890 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 17:17:00 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1202890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used Walgreens Specialty Pharmacy.
