00:00These are the fertility medications I was on when I had two sets of twins.
00:03No, you cannot buy them. They need to be prescribed. So, if you're here for that,
00:06just know you have to just go to a doctor. So, let's say you've been trying for a while,
00:11in fact, maybe over a year, and you go to a doctor and they send you to a fertility specialist.
00:15My fertility specialist tested my thyroid and she tested me for PCOS. Everything was totally normal.
00:20I just didn't ovulate. So, we kickstarted that with some progesterone the next month. I took
00:25Clomid. I ovulated twice in one month, and I ended up with twins on the very first round.
00:30That is super not common. So, like, don't expect that. My husband and I decided to try for a third
00:35baby. We went with a different drug that had a lower chance of twins. So, it's Fermara. It's been
00:41years. I have no idea. Because my OBGYN is a very wise woman, she put me on half of a dose first,
00:46and then it just didn't take. So, the next month, I went to a normal dose, and she also offered an
00:51ultrasound to see if I had ovulated, if there were any eggs or follicles, right? And I said,
00:56no, I have to pay out of pocket for that. Like, no way. So, again, I ended up with
01:01twins. I think the total cost between the doctor's appointments and getting the actual drugs,
01:07I would guess, was like $200. I don't know. That's like with the copay. The drugs were
01:16generic prescriptions, and they were like $12. Go get them.
