Please help me with your experience- Has anyone used an overseas pharmacy for IVF meds? Specifically, IVFmeds.com? I have read positive things and but obviously not worth the savings if not legit.

Any other pharmacies recommended for IVF meds

MDRx pharmacy in SoCal ships nationwide and only does fertility drugs. Recommend.

I would not use an overseas pharmacy--these drugs need refrigeration, and if your drugs are duds, you've wasted a round. They might not be shipped/stored at the right temperature.

EncompassRX was the cheapest I came across in the US for the meds I was needing. Good service too.

I don’t have any specific recommendations for you in terms of pharmacies to explore. All I will say (since the concept of something being foreign oftentimes leads people to believe it’s bad, particularly with healthcare/medicine) is that there is nothing magical about US pharmacies that isn’t available to pharmacists in other countries. Thousands (millions?) of people globally take fertility drugs every year. Magnitudes more are taking pharmaceuticals. Practically all are doing this safely. In fact, it’s oftentimes safer, easier, and cheaper.

Having to ship the drugs a long distance does complicate this significantly, especially given temperature requirements. @OP, I would make sure you are doing your research (which you clearly are) and verifying that the pharmacy knows what it’s doing and has demonstrated experience regarding shipping internationally. But there’s no reason for you to be concerned about a pharmacy simply because it’s outside the US.

No, You will need fertility meds quickly and depending upon your progress, you may need to request an overnight order….so I wouldn’t risk ordering from a pharmacy out of the country.

Freedom Pharmacy (in Massachusetts) for everything or MDR (in California) are fast, reliable and helpful. Also ask your nurse/clinic if they have recommendations…I’m certain their patients use a plethora of pharmacies that specialize in fertility meds.

Help! If I'm going to fall off the healthy eating wagon, it is most likely between 3 and 4 pm. I believe it is normal for blood sugar to dip at this time which may be why cravings are strong. Even if I eat something healthy, I will still crave salty crunch and it is so hard to resist. Would not buy such foods if it was just me at home, but do not live alone. Tips????

Stupid Question- We have been thinking for IVF and trying to understand with this process, is there any difference in the health and life of the child as compared to a child born without IVF. I did ask this with our doctor and he said casually its all same. This is not to question any doctor but just to really understand what is going to be different with the kid. This is not very old technology and not much studies as well.
