It was almost 3 years ago now, so it's hard to remember... There was a delay, but only because of getting the actual order in. I thought my doc sent it in, but it turns out I had to call CVS Specialty myself and have them request the prescription (or the other way around?). Because of the mix-up, I waited longer than I needed to. But once the order was in, I got my meds within 3 days, I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-purchase-your-fertility-meds#post-2067873 Fri, 13 Feb 2015 01:28:54 +0000 Crystal 2067873@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-purchase-your-fertility-meds#post-2067268 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 18:40:23 +0000 BSB 2067268@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: There's a thread where I posted a breakdown of all the pharmacies I called and the quotes they gave me. </p> <p>Here is the thread. <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivf-meds-money-saving-tips-or-discount-programs" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivf-meds-money-saving-tips-or-discount-programs</a></p> <p>Here is the post where I break down the prices that were given. <a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivf-meds-money-saving-tips-or-discount-programs#post-1890098" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/ivf-meds-money-saving-tips-or-discount-programs#post-1890098</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-purchase-your-fertility-meds#post-2067254 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 18:25:16 +0000 Crystal 2067254@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@bluestriped bee: Your post inspired me to ask where everyone is buying their items from. :happy: Thank you for sharing! </p> <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: Wow! that is lucky! </p> <p>@ineebee: Did CVS have a long processing time? or did they fill it quickly? </p> <p>@PurplePumps: Wow, that is quite a difference in cost.

Same with progesterone capsules as well as the Crinone ones. My Ovidrel was ordered through Freedom Fertility. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-purchase-your-fertility-meds#post-2066912 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 15:40:04 +0000 Miss Sarah 2066912@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had to use Freedom Fertility for our insurance to cover their part. Our 20% of the IVF meds still came out to $1,300. The experience with the pharmacy was great though. They shipped quickly and it was all packages great! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-purchase-your-fertility-meds#post-2066022 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 10:34:39 +0000 GreenThumb 2066022@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used Mandell's Clinical Pharmacy and they are absolutely wonderful! They were recommended by my RE's office. My insurance covered a good part of most medications, especially for FETs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-purchase-your-fertility-meds#post-2065998 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 10:20:41 +0000 Shutterbug 2065998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used Village Fertility Pharmacy. They were recommended by my RE and are also local, but they ship overnight as well. Customer service was awesome and I never had any problems. My insurance covered everything, minus co-pays of about $50 per IUI and $100 per IVF cycle. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-purchase-your-fertility-meds#post-2065973 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 10:09:38 +0000 FaithFertility 2065973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Freedom pharmacy my insurance covered zip https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-purchase-your-fertility-meds#post-2065947 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 09:55:09 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2065947@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've also used Apothecary by Design. They are a small place in Maine. They have great customer service too, but don't ship to all states anymore. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-purchase-your-fertility-meds#post-2065942 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 09:54:07 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2065942@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@PurplePumps: CVS quoted me $98 for a bottle of progesterone in oil! I wound up getting it for $35.</p> <p>I have prescription coverage for most fertility meds except progesterone in oil. I use Walgreens Specialty pharmacy. I like them because they have a quick turnaround time and will overnight my meds. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-purchase-your-fertility-meds#post-2065921 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 09:48:09 +0000 FliegepilzHut 2065921@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No insurance coverage for stims, progesterone, etc (my insurance did pick up some antibiotics and steroids).</p> <p>I used Avella pharmacy (in AZ?). They were very friendly and I received everything shipped. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-purchase-your-fertility-meds#post-2065803 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 09:08:20 +0000 kayakgirl73 2065803@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine were covered by insurance, but at the specialty pharmacy co-pay for injectibles, for my cycle two years ago I was able to use a local DC specialty Pharmacy called Grubbs. They delivered to my home in Virginia. This time I had to use PrimeTherapeutics the Pharmacy tied to my insurance. They are out of Texas, but they over-nighted stuff on ice packs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-purchase-your-fertility-meds#post-2065768 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 08:52:28 +0000 PurplePumps 2065768@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got my meds from CVS Specialty since that is our prescription med provider and they only cover it from them. They are WAY more expensive than other places that have been recommended here. Their cash price for a 900 Gonal pen was lke $1700 vs $900 on Freedom I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-purchase-your-fertility-meds#post-2065715 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 08:28:51 +0000 spaniellove 2065715@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In the beginning I bought everything from Village Fertility. My insurance didn't cover injectibles but oral meds and things like Estrace were and progesterone required a high copay. </p> <p>Eventually I just started using a local fertility pharmacy because it was 5 minutes from my house and it was easy to just pick up my PIO on the way home or just ask my husband to get it on his way home. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-purchase-your-fertility-meds#post-2065684 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 08:08:16 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 2065684@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Crystal: my insurance covered nothing so all meds were OOP. </p> <p>My clomid was filled at my local pharmacy. I think I paid $18 for my supply. </p> <p>I got my ovidrel and progesterone from Freedom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-purchase-your-fertility-meds#post-2065660 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 07:55:09 +0000 ineebee 2065660@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had three different insurances in the past 3 years in 3 different states, and the first and third one covered IF meds (which is why we took a break in that second year). The first year, I ordered through the CVS specialty pharmacy, and the third year I ordered through Freedom Fertility. Freedom was awesome - I really loved them.</p> <p>ETA: At the beginning when I was just doing Clomid + progesterone, these were covered under my regular insurance and I got them at my regular pharmacy. But once we added Ovidrel to the mix with IUIs, then later Lupron and Gonal-F for IVF, I had to use the specialty pharmacies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-purchase-your-fertility-meds#post-2065572 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 05:27:37 +0000 TheSwissWifeStyle 2065572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ours were covered. I consider ourselves very lucky! They will cover up to a year or 12 cycles here, I think. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-purchase-your-fertility-meds#post-2065535 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 00:54:45 +0000 BSB 2065535@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Do you have insurance that covers IF meds? Unless it was medication like metformin and dexamethasone that has other uses other than fertility, my fertility med was not covered. </p> <p>I highly suggest if you have to pay out of pocket for your meds, then I would suggest WinFertility.</p> <p>I wrote all about it here. Best prices I could find.</p> <p>I would read my post because there are some things you need to know about WinFertility. Like you have to be ready to buy more than one medication.</p> <p><a href="http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-need-fertility-medication-call-winfertility#post-2063237" rel="nofollow">http://boards.hellobee.com/topic/if-you-need-fertility-medication-call-winfertility#post-2063237</a></p> <p>I found them during my Ivf cycle but I think I could have used them for my IUI cycles when I had to buy femera and Ovridrel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/where-did-you-purchase-your-fertility-meds#post-2065523 Thu, 12 Feb 2015 00:24:50 +0000 Crystal 2065523@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Where did you buy your fertility meds?
