Re: IVF Meds question
First off congratulations for starting. I was given all my meds at the same time. However, I had to go through mail order so that may have something to do with it. It's best if you do get them at the same time so you can become familiar with what you have, no matter how overwhelming it looks at first. You will be surprised how quickly you will go through them. If you are adverse to getting them all at the same time, I'm sure you don't have to.

My RE didn't give me any meds. What they did was call the pharmacy with a list of meds that I needed. They came the next day, so no waiting time. The meds that are ordered should be enough for a cycle. If not they will come with refills.

Re: IVF Meds question
You should check with your prescription plan. Regular pharmacies (i.e. medicine shoppe, cvs, etc...) don't carry fertility meds. Your RE nurse (or whoever you deal with there), should ask you what pharmacy you use, or what pharmacy your insurance wants you to use for fertility meds and they will call in the order for you. I had to use Freedom Pharmacy, they are mail order and never had an issue with them.
