Legal to sell stimms???

Hi Ladies-

I have a few boxes of Gonal F and Menopur that is sitting in my fridge left over from my last cycle, which ended in a BFP last month. I paid a small fortune for IVF and hate that it is just sitting there not being used. I would love to sell it for a fraction of what it is worth, but don't want to get in any trouble for doing so. Anyone know the rules???

Thanks,
Tina

It is illegal to resell the med's but,,, I dont think the FDA is watching these board's. :) I think those meds have atleast a year experation date on them,,,, you just might want to keep them incase you decide to do IVF again xoxoxoxoxo Nicole

I donated my leftover stuff to my RE office so that someone that couldn't afford them could have them for free.

It is illegal to sell the stims as they are controlled substances. I would caution you about mailing them because if caught then it becomes a federal offense. The best action to take is either donate to your RE's office or sell them to someone in your area so you do not have to mail them. I know alot of women on here do mail them and it is a risk you take. Any questions you can message me. I too had left over that I wanted to sell since mine are paid for by my insurance, I will donate to the RE. The reason I know this information is because I am a prosecutor and my DH is a police officer. You can message me if you have any questions.

    Hello Ladies, My name is Michelle and to make a long story short my husband and I have been trying to conceive for about 5 years now. After 2 years we decided to see a specialist and after a million test and tries at alternatives we did our first cycle of IVF with a fresh embryo transfer that resulted in a BFNL. The cycle went well; I did experience some minor hyper stimulation with the egg...

He is one of the best movement disorder secialists in the midwest. I know he is extremely busy on the lecture circuit now and in fact not taking new patients there is a huge waiting list for him. BUT.... I feel like my visits are not what they use to be. He...
