Does anyone know where I can find donated or low cost infertility drugs...I want to be a mom help pl

[Anonymous]

My husband and I have been trying now for almost 5 yrs. We are going start doing IVF but our insurance doesn't cover it or the drugs. I can't afford both. I look at a child or baby a pregnant woman and I cry, cry, cry until I can't cry any more. I want to be a mother and my clock is ticking I am 33. Does any one have any suggestions. I would greatly appreciate it.
my email is [e-mail] if you want to contact me privately.
It's not fair. Thanks

A couple of suggestions. Look on freegaragesale.net. Lots of people post trying to sell leftover meds and I know some people who have gotten drugs there. Also, ask your nurse if she has any drugs she can give you. They sometimes get meds turned back in from successful patients and will give them to patients who are cycling. Good luck!

The nurse at our clinic supplied some for us. I'm certainly sympathetic to your cause, but I can't imagine taking meds that are regulated and must be stored in particular ways from someone I didn't know. I know it happens all the time, and again, I absolutely understand the desperation, but I am also fearful that people are taking drugs that may either not help or actually be dangerous.

I echo the PPs that suggest asking your doctor's office. That's where I donated my unused meds.

I agree - I gave my RE's office all my unused meds and was told they gave them to patients who needed them.

I'm sorry you are going through this. Its heart breaking.

In addition to the other recommendation, I would also ask your friends to ask around. Fertility treatment isn't a taboo subject as it once was. I donated my left over drugs to a friend and she was successful.

Definitely ask your RE. I did two cycles and the first one needed some extra drugs at the end and got them free at the office. On my second cycle I had leftovers and gave them to the clinic. I'm very sympathetic and completely understand the feeling of wanting and needing to be a mom and don't mean to be upsetting, but getting pregnant is half the battle. If you really can't afford treatment, affording a child is a problem too.
