Hi sam84. I realise that you will have looked after your drugs “to the letter” while having treatment, but according to the Department of Health "Medicines Control Agency", it is illegal for a patient to sell or supply prescription only or pharmacy only medicines for another patient. They can only be supplied under the supervision of a pharmacist and if "prescription only", against a doctor's prescription. If the doctor or pharmacist wishes to re-use medicines, the law does not prohibit it, but under their "Code of Ethics", pharmacists must not consider reusing any medicine returned by a patient. Doctors have similar professional standards. The issue really is one of "good practice", in which case, the answer would be "no" unless the medicines concerned were kept at the clinic at all times, as would happen on a hospital ward where medicines can be re-used by other patients. You don't want to risk medicines been tampered with by the first patient - accidentally or deliberately. The only option you have is to take the drugs back to the pharmacy/company from where they were purchased for safe disposal. Sorry this all sounds so formal. Diane

They normally have quite long expiry dates on them, so you could keep them incase you ever want to go private??

Would they use Syneral in FET I've 5 frozen so if I do it again by the way I'm hoping I won have to haha but if I do it will be a FET x

Hi sam84. I doubt it, but just check with your clinic. They won't want to be "switching" your ovaries off, But occasionally i have known it to be used in FET. Best to check. Diane
