So....

It seems that Repronex is worth it's weight in gold. I was able to get my injectables ordered today and while I'm not thrilled at the price, I know how lucky we are to have some insurance coverage - at least until we reach our lifetime IF meds limit -- we're darn close.

Still, why is the Repronex 75% of my total copay? Why is the copay for my meds equal to/ more than the copay for the rest of our IVF cycle? And why am I on 2 vials of the Repronex a day (once I start stims) instead of only 1?

Is it my weight? Whatever it is, I hope it's something that never would have been in my control..... I can't believe it could have cut our meds cost in half!

I was on two vials a day too...I think that's standard practice there. Are you on 150 follistim also? If you respond well they may drop you down to a lower dosage, though I'm not sure if you can return the meds or not. Are you going with their recommended pharmacy? They are so nice there! Good luck with everything! I can't wait to follow along with your cycle!

Yup - 150 of follistim and the repronex.
I don't get to go to the local pharmacy. My insurance requires me to use a specific mail order group. I'd still like to check out the place in town sometime and maybe get some ice cream or something!
