What to do with leftover injections?

I hate to just let me leftover Gonal F pen go to waste (especially since it's worth $600!!). Has anyone heard of where they could be possibly donated to? It's really a shame if it went unused when many others could use it and save a lot of money.....

My clinic takes donations and gives them to people without insurance coverage.

My clinic also accepts donations...

I read something the other day about a website where you can sell off your left over stuff.

Check out http://freegaragesale.com/medical.htm

I've actually purchased my Follistim from a women on http://freegaragesale.com/medical. I have notice other women on the site asking if anyone would like to donate because they do not have the money to purchase. What a blessing it would be if you could help someone in need. :)

It's better to donate them to your RE's office. It's illegal to sell prescriptions to others. I would hate for you to get in trouble while trying to help someone fulfill their dreams.

My doctor also takes donations. In fact I was the recipient of 8-9 days worth of Follistim and 1 1/2 days of Repronex. It was much needed and greatly appreciated! So, if you can do that, that would help someone out greatly. I would have donated what I had left, but I actually had to by more Repronex and had just enough Follistim. Blessing to all.

THANKS for posting this. On our last IVF cycle we were so convinced it would work that we starting talking about what to do with the extra medicine. Well, thank God we didn't get rid of it because we need it again...BUT, we did kid and say we could see it on ebay! if this time works, I want that stuff OUT of my house...I'll talk to my clinic about donations. Didn't know they did that! Thanks again for posting this!

Please consider donating it to your RE office, this has helped me before with the cost of meds since I don't have insurance coverage for fertility meds. I'm sure there is someone who could benefit from. I wouldn't advise selling them as another post mentioned that is illegal to sell meds to someone else.

Donate it to your clinic. I benefitted greatly from ladies like you. Half of my injections were donated. It saved me almost $1000 because my insurance didn't cover any meds.

It sure would be nice to sell the extra meds to help recoup costs. However, I know the nice thing to do is to donate them. Also, I don't want to get into any legal trouble over some ovulation drugs. I have enough stress in my life being infertile.

I gave all my left overs to my clinic. As long as it's unused I'm sure they can put it to use.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
