Cheap fertility meds: Yes, you can get fertility meds cheaper thro' a different country. But as a word to the wise know your supplier! i treated a patient from mexico who obtained a bad batch of fsh/lh and developed an allergy to hcg; she will never conceive and have a child. So be careful and make sure that your buying drugs from a regulated country with supervision of the medications.

Not a great idea: Drug quality and safety standards vary, sometimes a lot esp. In india. Fertility drugs from outside the us may be improperly stored, expired or counterfeit. Pills may be stable in storage. Injectables like follistim, Gonal-F have non-us equivalents but these need refrigeration. No way to tell if they are exposed to heat unless your treatment doesn't work. Not worth risking for small $ savings imo.
