Default Meds??? What do you do with them??

Hey girls I am no longer going ot be doing IVF . I had meds left over. I have 90 supply of follistim, 2 boxes of estrogen patch, 2 boxes of progesterone suppositories unused.. All of it is unused. Do Dr.'s buy them off of you?? What can I do, I would love to just get back my co-pay from it. Any advice out there or if anyone is interested in them let me know.

My doctor took my meds and donated them to another couple.

I won't be cycling again. I am done with the whole FT.
I am going to my RE for my FAILED cycle review. I guess I can ask them then.

I will donate any leftover meds to my RE's office. They give them to couples who cannot afford all the meds and if someone needs just one extra vial of this or that (like I did last cycle).

I'm sorry for your failed cycle. Most of us have been there, unfortunately more than once. Only you can decide when it is time to say "when." Good luck in the future

I have been searching for donated meds for my upcoming cycle in June. I had a thread on here titled..Extra Meds??? If you still have them available I could really use them. I would happily pay for shipping too. I have been trying to have a baby since 2001 and we are 100% out of pocket. I would be so very grateful to you if able. My email addy is BabyHeartache36@aol.com

I googled something about people needing leftover meds.. I met this lady that I felt was very deserving and had to pay out of pocket for her IVF just like me.. so I sent them to her..
