Saving Money with Discount IVF Drugs A Look at a Case Study The following review was written on a case study taken from the Human Fertilisation & Embryology Authority in the UK. The patient, Amy, and her husband were both 36 when they started their fertility treatment journey. Basic tests including hormone level tests, sperm analysis and hysterosalpingogram showed normal results. They started their journey with a cycle of IUI which was unsuccessful before moving on to IVF. During Amy’s first long cycle, she used Clomid® for five days and injectable IVF medications for 16 days including Gonalf® 600 IU. They were able to harvest eight eggs from her ovary. However, none of the eggs fertilized during this cycle. Her and her husband had to pay the full cost of the cycle, even though they were not able to implant any of the eggs. Amy’s second IVF cycle was a short cycle and involved the use of IVF medication Gonalf® 600 IU again, injected over the course of ten days, but she was not put on Clomid®. She needed to trigger ovulation with an injection of hCG. In this cycle, they were able to collect and fertilize six eggs. Two eggs were transferred into her uterus, and two weeks later, the couple found out they were pregnant. However, it turned out to be a chemical pregnancy. The couple’s third IVF cycle was another long cycle. Amy was put on the IVF prescriptions Gonalf® 600 IU, for ten days, and also used Clomid® for five days. Four collected eggs were fertilized, and two were transferred. They did not get pregnant this cycle. They did buy discount infertility medications themselves and saved about $1,000.00. At their latest IVF cycle, another short cycle using the same medications, two fertilized eggs were transferred. This cycle was a success for the couple. The couple had gone through several cycles of IVF to achieve this pregnancy, spending thousands of dollars on doctors, fertility clinics, tests and IVF medications.

 Saving Money with Discount IVF Drugs A Look at a Case Study  The following review was written on a case study taken from the Human Fertilisation & Embryology Authority in the UK. The patient, Amy, and her husband were both 36 when they started their fertility treatment journey. Basic tests including hormone level tests, sperm analysis and hysterosalpingogram showed normal results. They started their journey with a cycle of IUI which was unsuccessful before moving on to IVF.  

  During Amy’s first long cycle, she used Clomid® for five days and injectable IVF medications for 16 days including Gonal­f® 600 IU. They were able to harvest eight eggs from her ovary. However, none of the eggs fertilized during this cycle. Her and her husband had to pay the full cost of the cycle, even though they were not able to implant any of the eggs.  Amy’s second IVF cycle was a short cycle and involved the use of IVF medication Gonal­f® 600 IU again, injected over the course of ten days, but she was not put on Clomid®. She needed to trigger ovulation with an injection of hCG. In this cycle, they were able to collect and fertilize six eggs. Two eggs were transferred into her uterus, and two weeks later, the couple found out they were pregnant. However, it turned out to be a chemical pregnancy.  The couple’s third IVF cycle was another long cycle. Amy was put on the IVF prescriptions Gonal­f® 600 IU, for ten days, and also used Clomid® for five days. Four collected eggs were fertilized, and two were transferred. They did not get pregnant this cycle. They did buy discount infertility medications themselves and saved about $1,000.00.  At their latest IVF cycle, another short cycle using the same medications, two fertilized eggs were transferred. This cycle was a success for the couple. The couple had gone through several cycles of IVF to achieve this pregnancy, spending thousands of dollars on doctors, fertility clinics, tests and IVF medications.
