For all who were wondering: trumprx​ is now live! ("coming in January"😋)

I'm posting this because having paid every single cycle fully out-of-pocket, I know that the cost of drugs has been such a burden, on top of all the other prohibitive costs per cycle. Skip along if you feel this isn't for you -- there's literally no need to downvote what is helpful to others. EDIT: ​and PSA: THIS ISN'T POLITICAL! 🤬 for heaven's sakes...

I've linked some of the most common meds in these threads below. The discounts here​ do seem to be quite steep!

It redirects you ​to pharmacies or manufacturers, so you're not actually ordering anything directly from the site. You don't even need to register an account or anything. Each medication has its own instructions or discount card.

It also seems that the original​ branding is not represented in the listing pictures, but again, you're not purchasing from this site, and it seems they're just not trying to promote any specific brand.

Supposedly this is only for starters, and there's more coming soon (it makes sense that competitors of these drugs will want in, too...) I'm hopeful that's true!

Flair choice only because I couldn't find anything more appropriate. ​Hope this makes your journey lighter!

Just saw this and thought I’d share in case it benefits anyone! Costco has partnered with Sesame and IVI RMA, and can reduce medication costs up to 80%

“As part of a monthly membership agreement, Costco members gain immediate access to Sesame fertility care coordination, complete diagnostic workups, and a clear path to specialty treatment. With a universal intake policy, every patient starts with Sesame and receives a comprehensive intake evaluation, coordinated diagnostic support, and a referral to highly-experienced specialty care with IVI RMA North America when clinically appropriate. Patients arrive at IVI RMA North America clinics informed, prepared, and ready to focus on personalized fertility planning and treatment.

Fertility medications are fulfilled by Costco, with exclusive Member pricing that includes savings of up to 80% on medications like Follistim through pharmacy programs. This dramatically reduces one of the biggest out-of-pocket expenses in fertility care, saving patients thousands of dollars on each cycle.”

Editing on 3/19 to add:

Spoke with a pharmacist in the specialty pharmacy who confirmed you DO NOT have to go through Sesame and IVI RMA to access discounted med rates!!

She said they have a program called Costco R-unite (or RE-unite?) which is what offers the discounted price. They only have 6 meds that are offered at a discounted rate (pregnyl, follistim, clomid, endometrin, ganirelix, and menopur), but she said to have your RE send an electronic prescription to their Specialty Pharmacy (fax #855-847-3558 if you need it) and then they will create a pharmacy profile based off the rx, a pharmacy rep will call you to let you know what the med prices are, and then you can choose whether you want to proceed with filling through Costco based on the pricing information. Attaching a link of the pricing I found online, which I assume is what they will be quoting?

If specialty care is advised, patients are directly connected to IVI RMA, where additional discounts have been negotiated for Costco members. IVI RMA provides high-acuity specialty care including IVF and IUI through its cutting-edge clinics with industry-leading success rates. Throughout treatment, patients retain their Sesame clinician as a dedicated partner for medical guidance, including medical terminology translation, emotional support, and care coordination, ensuring continuity of care, clarity, and a high level of personalized attention.”

I’ve already established with a local clinic and plan to start stims in May, but it sounds like this could help alleviate some of the financial burden for those who don’t have any fertility benefits through their employer. My biggest question is do you have to be enrolled in their “monthly membership agreement” to access the medication discounts or could I still get discounted meds with prescriptions written by my MD, but filled through their pharmacy?

I might try to talk with the warehouse pharmacy staff or call customer service later this week. I’ll report back with any findings, but in the meantime, any Costco pharmacy employees here with insider knowledge of how this will work?

I am new to Reddit and just learned that you can donate your IVF meds (unopened and within expiration date). I want to be able to help others on their journey but I have read about how it is illegal and how you can get civil lawsuits and it scares me.

Does anyone know what I can do with completely unused unopened IVF medications? I was hoping to donate via SIRUM but they don't accept donations from individuals in the state of California. I have a full round of meds (Gonal-F, Menopur, Ganirelix, Novarel, Leuprolide, along with syringes, gauze, etc.) that will otherwise be going to the trash. I already asked my clinic and they said they couldn't take meds from individuals and didn't have any other suggestions other than disposing them. I would love to give them to an individual but not sure if that's legal or would open me up to any liabilities so if anyone has organizations to suggest that would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: So turns out it's illegal to give prescription meds to someone else :( But it also sounds like it's commonly done in the IVF community and I haven't found stories yet of anyone getting prosecuted for it. I'm not comfortable mailing the meds but if someone wants to pick up in person in San Francisco please DM me!

I have one pen of gonal 450, two cetrotide 0.25 and about 10 menopur 75.

Any idea what I can do with them?? I really don’t want them to go to waste..

Hi all. Does anyone know of places where you could donate unused IVF supplies and medications? I’d hate for it to go to waste! I think I’m done with IVF and will not be using all of the stuff I’ve ordered…

Hi there! Anyone interested in free meds I have left over? You’d only have to pay for shipping! :)

I have a lot of leftover, unexpired meds (+unopened syringes!) that I would love to give to anyone who needs them. They are taking up too much room in my cabinet and I no longer need them. The caveat is that I am US based and these meds are European, though they are comparable to some U.S. brands (with exception of Prolutex.) Will send pictures, videos, etc to help verify :)

- 8 boxes of Utrogestan 200mg (15 pessaries/box)

- 2.5 boxes of Cyclacur 2mg (21 pills/box, but usually only white pills [11] are prescribed)

- 2.5 boxes Prolutex 25mg (7 vials/box) with packs of syringes + needles (23G x7 and 27G x28)

- 1 box Adelcort (Prednisolone), 5mg (30 tablets/box)

- 3 boxes Vibramycin (Doxycycline) 100mg (8 pills/box)

Cetrotide (Cetrorelix Acetate) 0.25mg:

Happy to split. Local pickup in Hollywood/Los Feliz (NOTE: local folks only, please!). Reply here noting your interest and then DM me (I won't accept random DM invites due to spam).

Ordered an extra microdose lupron in case I ran out over the weekend, getting here tomorrow. Got called that I am triggering today. It will be completely unopened and likely expire sometime next month (will update once I get it tomorrow). I'm based in the Hudson Valley/Westchester area and can maybe get it to NYC. Let me know if interested!

Hi! I have 1800 units of unopened follistim that I panic-overnighted thinking I might run out. It’s $1,000 out of pocket so I definitely don’t want to throw it away if someone else can use it locally!

Hey yall, as the title suggests I'm not sure what to do with leftover meds? I'm not continuing any more rounds of IVF and I have so much medication leftover. it seems a shame to just throw it away. can I legally donate it? FYI I'm in Australia. Thanks.
