What to do with xtra fertility meds??

Post by onlycatssofar »

Hello ladies (and to any gents who may be here),

I'm new to this forum. I used to post on fertilitext.org, but it appears it's no longer working.

Anyhow, the good news is that DH and I are FINALLY in our 2nd trimester after TTC almost 8 years! After Clomid, Clomid IUI, Injectible IUI, fresh IVF and 3 rounds of frozen IVF, we half-heartedly decided to go ahead with our last 2 frozen embryos (what else were we going to do with them?!). Fully expecting another failure or m/c (I've had 2), imagine our amazement to be due in February!! I'm still in shock - we had decided no more treatments after this and adoption was not for us, so this was truly our last chance for a child. Miracles do happen, so don't give up hope!

Anyhow, I have some extra fertility medication (Gonal F 300 IU pen .5 ml (unopened), + another of the same that I used a few doses of, 1 single dose Repronex 75 IU, 1 Lupron multidose vial w/ several doses used.) All meds have been stored well in my fridge and are perfectly good - though the expiration dates are approaching (oct/nov 2006). I HATE to throw these out as it is so darn expensive and I know there are people out there struggling to afford it. But I'm not sure what I should do with it? I'm not looking to make any money on it - I just don't want it to go to waste.

I'm not able to check the board that frequently, so please email me if you have any ideas!

Best of luck to all of you out there still in the thick of it. I sure know what a rollercoaster you are on - hope my success story gives you a little bit of encouragement!
