Advice please - unused meds

Hi everyone, 
I have just had a cycle, which failed because the 2 eggs we got did not fertilise. This was my 3rd failed cycle, so we said it would be the last one as my DP can't any more (not sure if I can either) I am absolutely devestated...neither my DP nor I can get our head round DE, so we won't be doing that.
Anyway, I have over a hundred pounds worth of drugs which I haven't used and I am not going to use... Don't want to throw them away, but don't want them in the house anymore - any ideas?

Sorry to hear about your failures. I think that everyone who did turn to donor eggs (me included) were adamant we wouldn't at one stage.

There's nothing you can do with the drugs really -it's illegal to sell or offer them to another party. I would just keep them out of sight somewhere.....you never know.
I've got a load in a shoe box at the bottom of my wardrobe.

Hi violet,

Thanks for your reply...
shame about the meds.
I'm sure DE is right for some people, and maybe one day right for me - who knows...Looking at your signature, it looks like you have really been through it...

Good luck with your quest

Just to let you know that I donated my unused meds back to the clinic who had a scheme to provide leftover meds to those in most financial hardship.

You might like to contact them and see whether that is possible?  I believe a number of clinics have this option.

Chux,

This doesn't include returning to your clinic as mentioned above does it?

It's so inappropriate for clinics to give out returned drugs and if the regulators knew clinics were doing that it would be a serious finding against their **** licence. When drug are sold there are very strict guidelines on how returns are handled and in some cases they just can't be returned ie cold chain drugs ( fridge). There is no assurance over the integrity of their storage while not in the clinic. Trust me I do these sort of inspections for a living and I would have serious issues with any clinics who think its ok to do this.
