I just came across a website where fertility drugs were being bought and sold, apparently from one fertility patient to another. Judging by the number of posts put up in the last 24 hours, it's a popular business. People were reassuring one another that their drugs had been properly stored and that the dates hadn't expired. Others were posting pleas for cheap fertility drugs, claiming that they needed them urgently.
I can't stress enough how unsafe this is. If you're putting yourself through the trauma of fertility treatment - and often the expense too - there's really little point in trying to save a few pounds, or even a few hundred for that matter, by buying someone else's leftover drugs. When you buy fertility drugs this way, you have no idea who you are buying them from or whether they've really been properly looked after - in fact, you can't even guarantee that they are what they say they are. It's simply not worth the risk that you could ruin your chances of successful treatment by trying to cut costs this way.
Fertility treatment is hugely expensive - and you can save money on your drugs by shopping around - but just make sure you shop around from reputable suppliers rather than people trying to offload their leftover drugs online.
