What to Consider When Ordering IVF Medications

Ordering IVF medications is one of the most important steps in your IVF journey. Because treatments are time-sensitive and highly personalized, getting the details right can reduce stress, avoid delays, and potentially save money. Here’s what to consider before placing your order.

1. Confirm Your Exact Protocol

Whether it’s your first time through the IVF process or your second or even third, your treatment protocol can change and may be different. Things such as age, ovarian reserve, and past treatments can affect your doctor’s decision on what medications you’ll be using for your upcoming cycle.

Before ordering, carefully review your prescription from your clinic. Some things to review and confirm are:

• Dosages
• Quantity needed
• Start date
• Whether refills may be necessary

2. Choose the Right IVF Pharmacy

When selecting an IVF medication pharmacy, consider:

• Availability of your exact medications
• Shipping options
• Customer support hours
• Experience with IVF protocols

Fast IVF provides brand name IVF medications at a fraction of the cost compared to US pharmacies. Different shipping options are available with 24/7 customer service and staff that is trained to understand the IVF process.

3. Compare Costs (Carefully)

Ordering your IVF medications online from international providers can save you thousands of dollars — especially if you’re doing multiple cycles.

Before ordering:

• Request quotes from multiple pharmacies.
• Ask about shipping methods.
• Confirm estimated delivery times.

When ordering medications, look for hidden fees. While other international IVF providers dont disclose extra fees until the checkout and payment process, Fast IVF’s prices are all inclusive — meaning you won’t pay any additional duties even after receiving your order!

4. Timing & Shipping Logistics

IVF medications are often shipped cold and may require refrigeration upon arrival. If you’re traveling during your cycle, plan ahead for refrigeration and transport.

Important considerations:

• Schedule delivery when someone can receive the package.
• Avoid deliveries on weekends or holidays.
• Open and inspect medications immediately.

Fast IVF is the only international IVF provider that provides cool shipping. This helps ensure the effectiveness of the medication. While not necessary, these additional steps are taken to provide top quality service.

Ready to Order?

Ordering IVF medications can feel overwhelming, but preparation helps reduce any unnecessary stress. If possible, order medications 1–2 weeks ahead of time so that you can review the medications prior to treatment. Taking the time to organize these steps can help you focus your energy where it matters most — on your treatment and your well-being.
