What meds do you have to pay for?

I don't have private health insurance - all of my meds are covered by Medicare.

Gosh! That's great that your meds are all covered! We had quite a large out of pocket expense for a lot of our stuff in both of our IVF/PGD cycles

I did an antagonist cycle through MIVF and all our meds were included, apart from orgalutran which wasn't covered by Medicare nor my private health insurance. Unfortunately this was $90 a shot and I needed it for five days per cycle...

All of our meds are supplied at no additional cost for IVF cycles (included in their fees I guess), so for FET cycles we have been using our left over drugs from previous IVF cycles. We should have enough supplies for a couple of FET cycles. But I think after that we will need to pay for our meds on FET cycles Not looking foward to that. So remember to keep all your drugs from past cycles - they might come in handy and save you some $ for future cycles

I'm with MIVF too and for a stim cycle all meds are included. I think we paid for crinone during the FET - or maybe it was the ovidrel???

ETA - I always keep my leftovers. My fridge is chock full of gonal f ATM

I think I get a new pen of Gonal F for free (covered by Medicare) each cycle. I'll let you guys know if I have some left over when I eventually get knocked up .

It was orgalutran that HBA told me they would have partially covered if I had got it from the chemist with a prescription instead of directly from the clinic...
