I’m getting prepared to start my treatment in Copenhagen. I have a prescription (can’t believe this is finally happening!) and am looking for any advice on buying meds either online or in person, where is reliable? Best costs wise etc.
Thank you ❤️

Take your prescription from your clinic abroad to GP who may rewrite a private one for you so you can get it dispensed Just need proof of treatment and then try online pharmacies
As others have already said above ASDA are cheapest, they charge cost price. My lovely local pharmacist (owner) told me this himself (him and his wife went through IVF and they even used ASDA).I was in the same situation with prescription from Czech Republic. I called ASDA and they said they wouldn't accept EU prescription. Unfortunately, I didn't have time to look into how to get my GP to make the prescription into a "UK" one. Also, I only thought afterwards, that my prescription was in English, even though it was from the Czech Republic.So I should have maybe asked more questions when speaking to ASDA. Might be worth bringing your prescription into them and showing the pharmacist or asking to speak directly to the pharmacist on the phone. I should have done this but was so stressed and in a rush trying to get my meds with my period about to start any day that I wasn't thinking properly! I had to go with London based pharmacy connected to my clinic, and meds (menopur & cetrotide) cost £1436. I think I could have gotten them lot cheaper if I had time to sort it. But starting the cycle on day 1, which was imminent, was more important at the time than saving a few hundred on the thousands we were already forking out!
At the very least hopefully people can learn from my mistakes I hope getting your meds goes smoothly abd good luck
