I exhausted my medication benefit conceiving our first child so having to go out of pocket for the second. I’ve used SMP and Freedom in the past to pay cash…anyone have other suggestions for good cash prices for stimulation meds?

Go to the IVF subreddit. You will have pros on there that know the latest med option. For awhile, people were getting meds from Europe and Israel for some of the higher cost options

Have you tried your commercial insurance? When I talked to SMP for an order, they told me I would pay $x (~50% of negotiated price) with United Healthcare, or I can go with Maven. I ended up going with Maven and got reimbursed for 90%, but I suspect you could try to get something from the commercial insurance, which does not have a lifetime maximum (of $50k from Maven for us).

Oh interesting ! Thanks for clarifying

Trying to have faith but my recent cycle netted 16 eggs, 8 fertilized and only 2 made it to day 5 for testing. There were 3 others that just didn’t mature. This is my third cycle and I’ve been pretty positive up until today. It’s especially hard to get this news in the middle of a work day. Just tired, still bloated and not feeling all that hopeful as we enter this LONG wait until we get the results next week. I hate feeling like this knowing my chances are getting slimmer by the day.
