Has anyone used Bravelle?/Fertility meds

Has anyone used bravelle and what do you think of it?  I have used gonal F for two cycles of iui and incase this cycle is not successful, my dr. is suggesting to try bravelle since i am paying for all medications out of pocket, I will be moving to IVF.  If anyone knows where I can get discount meds, please let me know.  Thanks-robbin

Hi, I used Bravelle for my IVF and I am now 32 weeks pregnant so obviously it works.  Sorry cam't help you with discount meds as Insurance paid for everything

I used Bravelle and Menopur for my first IVF and IIRC had over 20 follicles--so, obviously more than you'd want for IUI, but apparently effective.

I haven't given up hope yet that my second IVF cycle worked (13dpo).

My first RE often had extra vials of Bravelle from patients who had donated their leftovers. Any chance of that with your doctor? All I have leftover this time is Menopur...
