Cost of puregon

[Marley&Me]

I think that's what makes me so angry. Everybody else does it for free. Even people who don't deserve it. I hope that by a miracle it is included in the $800, but since I have to put the script in myself I doubt it

I feel so stupid, I didn't even think about this. And I would have waited and taken the primolut, but then I ovulated on my own and pushed it all forward.

Well, if it helps, I have to take the script in myself for IVF. I just don't pay for all the meds.

Thanks N2L, it actually does help a little bit

I understand. It sucks. Infertility treatment is so friggen expensive. It costs us thousands when it costs everyone else nothing

yep.... this sucks dogs balls.......

keep your chin up Tasha... I haven't done IUI, but it is covered in IVF.... so you'd think it'd be the same???? assuming it's 'required' for IUI????

FX you can relax after you call them tomorrow

Thanks myturn!

Just an update, my puregon will cost me around $30-$60. I'm assuming they give me the pen and all that stuff, I just need to pick up the actual drug hence the cheaper price. Woohoo! Picking it up tomorrow

Hi Tasha,

I happened to come across your post. we will be having treatments with monash ivf too. i am waiting to see the patient coordinator. i have however seen my FS to discuss treatments. was wondering if you can fill me in on your journey with them? i am in particular very confused with the fees. i was quoted out of pocket for OI to be $380 and IUI to be $1547. not even sure if this even includes medications. how long did it take for the whole process to start? thanks for answering...

My FSH was always covered by the PBS. As long as you're meeting the conditions for prescription (I think you have to have tried clomid first and have had a HSG done), you should only be paying the $30-something we all pay for each prescription (or the lesser amount for people with a health care card)? That was my understanding anyway. Has it changed? You can look up the requirements and the costs on the PBS website.

Pregnyl wasn't covered by the PBS, but I only used it during my IVF so it was included in the cycle price.
