hello ladies,

need your advice. I took only 3 weeks worth of medication when flying back to UK from Cyprus because was not sure if I will conceive or not. Now I had a positive outcome, my clinic has prescribed me further 10 weeks of medication. Can i buy them at any pharmacy like Asda as I heard, ivf medication is quite cheap.

Please help, I am left with few days medication

Maybe try your GP -he may rewrite a private one- remember to take details of your treatment etc with you

hi I had the same problem I had to get a private gp to re write our prescription so we could get it. I think it cost about £100 🤦‍♀️ When I went to our gp surgery they were not interested and told us that due to the fact we had gone abroad they couldn’t help. Hopefully your gp will be better than that xxx

You will need to get it converted to a uk prescription, I used this service which is the cheapest ive found and were super quick and efficient, starts at £35

So long as its an original prescryipyion and not a photocopy then you can try Asda.....I did this on several occasions with no problem. Good luck.xx

I went to Asda this week and they refused to do it but early this year the person I met used it and gave me medication. The clinic I am using have chemist here and they use £25 to convert my prescription.
