Has anyone used Metro Drugs Pharmacy? My doctor's office called in my IVF meds to this pharmacy which is in NYC I think. Metro Drugs > Home and I just wondered if anyone here has used them.
Is it worth comparing prices for these meds or should I just go with this pharmacy?

Thank you so much Tiana!
My insurance ended up covering most of the meds. I had a copay of $600 and the insurance covered $5,800.
I did use Metro Drugs for part of the order and CVS Caremark for part of the order.
I have used Fertility Friend in the past as well.
Did you order yours already?

I did. I went with anthrop in NYC, they had a discount program where I get a $500 rebate, but I had to shell out $1628 first. Not bad though.

Not bad but still a blow to the monthly budget. I understand! I feel angry that fertility treatments are not automatically covered. It just isn't fair.
When do you start stims?

Was supposed to start them yesterday and just when I was about to give myself the shot (I had to take 30 minutes just to get myself confident enough to do it) the doctor called and told me to start on the 20th if I had not take then first shot already and if I had then to stop a day earlier, glad I didn't do it.

I'm glad you didn't do it either! These meds are too expensive to waste. Did he say why you had to wait?
I see in your sig that you have two blocked tubes. My laparoscopy revealed the same and my RE told me that if we went into ivf with blocked tubes my chances were greatly reduced. So I had surgery to have the tubes clipped to increase my chances. What did your RE tell you?
Also when you were on Femara and Clomid, did you always ovulate? I did everytime but the eggs couldn't go anywhere with blocked tubes.
I think you will be a very good IVF candidate.
