As a self-pay lady, it’s really annoying to end a stim cycle with boxes on boxes of leftover medication. They could have estimated more closely and included refills or something.

You can self regulate. I’d take my prescription and only buy enough to get me through the first monitoring session. So about 3 days. Then based on the results, I’d buy the next few days. That way I’d not have leftovers.

Too bad their isn’t a non-profit that would take the extra meds and redistribute them to those who can’t afford the high costs of the meds.🙃

The nursing team in the clinic I go to checks at the start of the cycle if I have coverage and for people who don’t orders the minimum. They ask that they keep the doctor’s office informed of how much medication is remaining, and orders small refills as needed a day of two ahead. I use a local pharmacy in the nyc area that does overnight delivery for any medication that’s out of pocket since it’s significantly less expensive than CVS specialty mail service. They also offer same day pick-up. Perhaps talk to the nursing team and see if they are able to work with you in a similar manner.

Would have been smart, but I feel like the damage is already done

OP are you doing another cycle? Or is this it?

Ok I can definitely understand your frustration.
