My clomid cost me $65 for five days of 100mg each. I didn't get the rest of the treatments you had though.

The drug cost sounds about right. You are also paying professional fees for the u/s and cd22 consult. They you have lab fees for cd12, cd22, and cd31. That's not including the injection training. If your insurance won't pay for anything, that's probably about right.

My doctor is very good about trying to keep cost down if insurance won't cover anything. So for me (because I have been on Clomid before)a Clomid cycle only costs:
$4 for metformin
$4 for generic provera
$10 for generic Clomid (all walmart prescriptions)

Then I only go into the doctor if I get a bfp with a hpt. Is this your first cycle with Clomid? I ask because my 1st cycle did cost quite a bit more because we did two ultrasounds to see if I was producing follicles (at $650 a pop!), plus clomid was $54 a cycle back then, but now is $10 (go figure). But since we know I have a response to Clomid I don't have to do all that anymore. Does your doctor require all the labs and everything?
