Hello Everyone
I am not sure how to use this site fully yet so hope I'm posting in the right place. I will be going to see Dr Savvas in a few months and was wondering if someone could give me advise on where to get Metformin in the Uk? This is one of the supplements I have been advised to take because of potential POCS?
I would love to hear from anyone else who is just about to embark on their first IVF journey !
Xxxx

Ok thanks yes Genesis said they can send it but thought I would see if I could get it online. I have found a US site that will ship it to me. Do you think it might not be as good as what Genesis will provide? They want to charge a 70 euro shipping fee which seems very high ?

Thanks I've emailed them to see if they can send some details to my GP who said she would then prescribe it so fingers crossed.

Why don't you call Fetility2U or other UK based on-line fertility provider and ask the price. You should then be able to get Genesis to email a prescription to them - they certainly used to do this. In the grand scheme of things 70 euro isn't a huge amount! good luck x

Hi Ever hopeful,
We have decided to get all medication from them out of ease and so only have to pay 70 euro for the whole lot! I had a shop atound and foubd Genesis to be reasonable.
Thank you very much for your help x

Hi nd1985
I am going in April, also hoping for a boy. Had my pre testing done and should receive my medication this week.

I had an unsuccessful cycle with Savvas in November. I just found out I am a poor responder to medication. I am going to cycle again at the end of this month but with a short protocol (last cycle was long), higher medication and FET (last time it was a fresh transfer).
