[quote=Anonymous]I, too, have received meds from other women that have successfully negotiated the IVF process. For those of us paying out of pocket (and I am of this group) the gift of donated meds can make the difference about whether or not we even get to try IVF. Storage is certainly a consideration, but many of the meds can be stored without ice, etc as long as the temperatures do not soar above 77 degrees (read the specific packaging directions), and they are stored out of contact with direct light. Although my nurse didn't recommend the European meds (b/c of some of the reasons mentioned below) I have another friend who has been a nurse at a fertility clinic for 12 years now, and she said that many of her patients use the European meds and do fine (although she had to tell me this as a friend, and not a nurse). It's a hard call-if only we could all receive fresh meds from a local pharmacy with only a co-pay! Alas, it is worth digging a bit to find some affordable options. Check the meds carefully-you should be able to tell when they are in their original packaging, unopened with caps and plastic, etc still attached. [/quote]
