IVF medication quotes in the UK

Where can I obtain quotes for meds outside of my clinic? I’ve heard of Stork but wanted to know what others you recommend.

TIA.

Asda!

Asda! It’s not for profit so you won’t find cheaper.
They also split boxes so if you only needed 4 pills from a box of 30 they will unit charge you for the 4

I use fertility medication centre. They are online and will provide a quote (much cheaper than my clinic) and they then use stork to deliver it to your house.

I had stork through my clinic. A friend of mine used Asda but not sure how it worked

Thank you everyone for your suggestions. For those who suggested Asda, do I go into store to get a quote? My clinic charge £100 to issue an external prescription so I’ll need to enquire with the other companies first to check they will work out cheaper! They don’t make it easy do they (!)

We used stork when asda didnt have anything in in time for the treatment but then we just put the private prescriptions for medication for treatment to our normal pharmacy (shadforth). It was still quite cheap only a few pounds more expensive than asda x

£100!! I was annoyed at £25! You can ask for a list of drugs for a quote - they just won’t issue them without a formal private prescription. Depends how badly you need to penny pinch but for stress levels I would just place one bulk order with Asda and drive and collect. Job done! We were at one of the best clinics in London and by going via Asda we saved about £2000 on one ivf round of drugs. You could shop around maybe £100+ if you can be bothered!

In my experience, Asda are the cheapest. You can get a list of meds from your clinic and call the nearest Asda pharmacy to ask about prices and lead times. Once you have the prescription take that in to place the order. I found Stork to be super expensive! For instance Lubion one pack that has 7 vials was costing about £120 via Stork if I rem correctly, a pharmacist friend was getting it for £90 and Asda got it for me for £56!!!

Is it normal to test positive still? (Wouldn't usually do one)

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Can baby mamas be friends?

My son has an older brother from his biodad. Biodad has never had contact with my son. One thing lead to another though and the other child's mother and I got in contact and are planning a meeting for the boys. Biodad has no idea any of this has happened. Biodad also hasnt had contact with the other child in about 2 years. Just thoughts, opinions, anyone been through something similar?
Edit-Thank you all! Have definitely been feeling somewhat weird about it because we never met before but now know it can be a good thing definitely helps. I can't wait for them to meet. My son has been asking for a brother and I can now happily tell him he has one. That just happens to be 13. Im sorry for yall that fight/have issues with the other baby mamas. Sadly some women rather be stuck on the men, when the kid is the one who really matters. They're the ones that end up getting hurt and missing out.
