Hi, I was wondering if anyone has ordered infertility drugs from outside of the US? I so, did you have a good or bad experience? I found a website that it in France and the scripts are much cheaper. Like 12 for Repronex 75.
Thanks and Baby Dust to all

Hi, I know it's not the same thing, but I have ordered amoxycillini overseas before. I would just be careful. They are getting really strict about that, no matter what it is.
Can't you just go to your doctor?

Yes, I do go to the dr for my treatments, but the medications are really what is breaking the bank. We are going to go on the arc plan for financing the iui, but that doesn't pay for rx. I only took the lowest dose of repronex last cycle, and the meds alone were $500. I could go on to my next cycle where my dr wants me to take 2 vials repronex for 5-6 days with cloid and then my hcg shot for as little as $152, instead of $700. I got the pharmacy's info from a fertility website. I haven't really decided if that is what I am going to do yet.

Hi I live here in Europe and by alll means the meds are not cheaper than usa ( experiance ) the euro is higher than the dollar so it comes out to more plus shipping and handling.. ohhh by the way what is Repronex 75 used for??? Anyways let me know what you will do and I can price it here for you also...

Hi, I found a really good description of what repronex does, I am going to paste it here after this message. I got the price from a pharmacy in Paris. I normally pay over $50 per vial, but it is $12 at this pharmacy. Also, clomid is $7 per 10 50mg pills. I pay $30 for 5 50mg pills here. The shipping and insurance is $40, which still added on to my total price is worth it.
Thanks for all of your help, and Baby dust to all,
Deb
Repronex is one of a category of female infertility drugs known as menotropins. Menotropins are a combination of FSH (a follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (a luteinizing hormone) that are produced by the pituitary gland. In most cases when Repronex is prescribed, the woman has already undergone unsuccessful therapy with Clomiphene citrate. Menotropins are also used to cause the ovary to produce several follicles when the woman will be undergoing in vitro fertilization (IVF). Repronex is the only human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG) that is FDA approved for both subcutaneous and intramuscular injection and is used in ovulation induction and IVF. Repronex is commonly used when the production of multiple follicles is desirable. It is the most frequently prescribed menotropin.

Hi deb well hon really I think that clomid you must be carefull with seriously I was on clomid for 1 month just cause I asked the doc to give it to me its like candy here they give it out like candy. and the cheap perscription i got was only 40 euros which in us dollars mabe 50$ really deb be carefull with the clomid and be under doctors supervision .. my new doctor she could not believe the other doc just gave me the prescription for clomid.. my doc said if she does have to end up putting me on clomid when i go back in dec it will be under supervision and with other meds and blood tests will take place for you can have a bad bad reaction with clomid.. And you know what? I think really clomid messed up alll my hormones for a while when i was taking it without supervision and noooo tests done.. Like with any other medicine get docs approvel and let them run tests please I know from first experiance deb .. I hope I was of help to you and gosh! 12$ that doesnt sound right deb...
