Progesterone in oil is cheaper if you don’t have insurance coverage. I had to use that for 8 weeks and only switched to endometrin for the last couple of week.

You can ask your doctor if you can use generic progesterone or progesterone in oil. It works fine and usually doctors have no problem substituting. It may be covered even if your insurance does not cover fertility

Try reddit r/infertility or r/ivf. Lots of people donating meds through both of those groups. You could also try a local facebook group.

+1. Please try these

+2 especially for the FB groups - there are some "secret" ones that are especially useful if you can find them.

Use generic. Works fine.

OP, Jeff doesn't allow med trading/donation on this site (I'm assuming for liability reasons), but I feel for you. I would recommend first asking your RE; mine was able to give me some meds for free that they'd gotten as samples.

Ferring Fertility has some 'savings' resources on its site: https://www.ferringfertility.com/patient-resources/. I did use their rebate/savings cards during my IVF treatment and they worked (even though it's criminal how expensive those drugs are to start with).

You might also look overseas. One pharmacy I have seen recommended many times in various support groups is this one: https://www.ivfpharmacy.com/drug/Endometrin.aspx. Personally I got some of my meds from Germany where we have family and they were so much cheaper. Everywhere is cheaper than the US for this stuff.

I hope you find affordable meds - and CONGRATULATIONS on your pregnancy!

Endometrin is crazy expensive and not covered by my insurance. I am pregnant after a frozen transfer and need to refill but wanted to see if anyone had any leftovers they are willing to donate?
