Cost of injectibles

Hello,

Now that I know that my prescription plan does not cover anything fertility related, can anyone give me an idea of how much the injectibles run?

I have been on clomid (which was not covered) and my dr. said the next step will be injectibles.

Thanks

Thanksfully my ins covers mine, but due to a misunderstanding a while back, I know the ganerilix was $91 a syringe and he HCG is $40. Both of these were from local tpharmacies, and they might be cheaper online

Maybe you can get some donations of unused drugs

Re: Cost of injectibles

The firs time I was going to try IVF, I got a print out of what all the meds would cost me. It totalled $8,000. I was going to be on high doses of everything but still...that's a lot of $.

I started to beg on here, and other web sites. I can never repay the generous ladies on here who dontaed their unused meds to me -- they are wonderful women and I am so thankful.

If this IVF works I will be passing on whatever I have left. But I won't know until mid-September.

There are a few web sites you can try as well:

My RE projects the cost for stims during an average IVF cycle at $4,000.

If you are doing injectibles for an IUI cycle, it won't be nearly as much as IVF.

It also really depends on how well you stimulate.

Hi, my insurance doesnt cover injectables either.

If you join www.designrx.net you will get a discount on certain medications. I pay $800 for two cases of Follistim.

The Ovidrel is $100 and the Ganirelex is $115. What my doctor did was give me a couple of refills on each drug so I wouldnt get one big bill.

Good Luck!!

For my IUIS I was on Bravelle, Ganirelex and Ovidrel...It was about between $3700-$4200 each month.

Re: Cost of injectibles

Thanks everyone for the replies. I still don't know exactly what I will need. My problem is that I do not ovulate on my own. I have 2 more months on clomid left (Clomid worked for me with my daughter, but for some reason, I'm having trouble the second time around. I miscarried in January).

My dr. said the next step is to refer me to a fertility specialist and "get a shot". Not sure if he meant in conjunction with IUI. Can you just get the trigger shot for ovulation and conceive naturally?

I had so much Bravelle left over I could have given you
