Hi all,

Got some ivf drugs we bought but then never used in the end. Clearing out our house and about to chuck them out. Contacted the people we bought them off but of course we cannot send them back. Does anyone else have any sensible suggestions? Just feels crazy to throw 4/500 quid's worth in the bin but obviously there is not much market for second hand drugs!!! We would not be looking to make any money from these, just wanted to see whether anyone had any suggestions? Not sure it is altogether ethical to give these away online either but please PM me if you have any thoughts. Thanks

I know exactly what you're going through. I've got 2 unopened boxes Gonal F pens in my fridge but just can't throw them away as the drugs are so expensive. I may have a lucky fridge though as I'm now 6 mths pregnant with twins. Please let me know if anyone is interested or what to do with them... will prob take back to Kings soon.
thanks for the suggestions, much appreciated. I guess I just did not want to chuck them away as they are so expensive and it was a big decision for us to spend money on them in the first place! Will take to Kings unless anyone contacts me to say they are interested

It's illegal to sell the drus on to anyone, but I know that there are many people out there who would be more than happy to receive them from you for free to save money on their own IVF.


I think that what you are meant to do is hand them into a pharmacy for disposal.

    • Avoid companies that are run by non trades people Seems to be the trend lately. Check them on Companies house first. There are some great family companies or sole traders. LMQ Roofing 07860 467708 lmqroofingservices@outlook.com ANR Roofing 08009330439 Fist on my list is Liam McQueen https://www.lmqroofingservices.com/ Honest, reliable, constant updates, proper written quotes professional and lovely polite workers. Great work. Also though we did not use them in the end ANR Roofing based in Wimbledon offered some sound advice and quote.  Also very lovely family run firm. And Crest Roofing based in EC1V 2NX came and gave a quote and seemed very lovely with some advice also. 07934 975769
    • Had a terrible experience with this company recently. Their rooofers were abusive and really not nice. Simple job to remove an aerial which we knew would mostly cost in scaffold turned into a nightmare, They dug up old rotten boards in our front garden (there for beetles) and use under the scaffold. When we questioned the positioning of the scaffold (we needed it down the side and not on top of plants and garden) I received a torrent of offensive teenage sexist shouting. The main guy doing this was called Jimmy. They did eventually remove the aerial (no tools to do so I had to supply) They told us the side of the hip needed new timbers and re-roofing. We'd recently had it inspected and it looked good (I'm a carpenter by trade and went and looked at rafters inside - no issue. They seemed to take offense at my carpentry knowledge also. They pulled ridge tile off then told us it would be 3200 to repair!! Stood on a non load bearing lead canopy and more.  Left cooked food and rubbish in garden, Just avoid them is my advice.One of an ever increasing number of firms owned not by trades people who subcontract and pay the scaffolders pennies. I'll do recommendations in another post!  
    • I live locally and am on Lordship Lane and North Cross Road most days. I've never been forced into traffic, or noticed any problem in any of these places! I appreciate that might be different with a buggy or mobility aid. I like to see people enjoying themselves outside. 
    • It's good that you've never personally had to experience poison being left but it is a known fact in this area. It's not fly tipping - people leave food out for foxes but there are also people who purposefully leave food out to kill animals.
