Mine came from overseas, and my insurance did not cover anything.
My insurance covers the medications and injections but not the procedures. I've heard of some getting theirs from Canada too.
no hardly any insurance covers injectables... I got mine shipped from france and it was about half the cost. My RE gave me the info I would fax the rx and they would ship to me. It is very frustrating because it is just made from pee of menopausal women so it shouldn't cost that much but they know we are desperate so they jack the price up.
Gonadotropin drugs are either natural compounds extracted from urine or synthetic compounds that are genetically engineered in a laboratory using recombinant DNA.
Human Menopausal Gonadotropin (hMG). HMG drugs, also called menotropins, contain a mixture of both FSH and LH. These drugs (Menopur, Repronex, Humegon) are all derived from the urine of postmenopausal women
Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH). Urofollitropin (Bravelle, Fertinex) is a purified form of FSH, derived from the urine of postmenopausal women.
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG). Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is similar to LH. It mimics the LH surge, which stimulates the follicle to release the egg. Natural hCG drugs, derived from the urine of pregnant women
