TULSA, OK area: The Apothecary Shoppe maintains a small stock of Follistim at their Broken Arrow, OK location. Suggest calling ahead for availability.
Mobile, Alabama: If you live in Mobile or the surrounding area, I highly recommend Dr. George Koulianos and his staff at the Center for Reproductive Medicine. I cannot say enough good things! Say hi to Jamie for me!
Pregnancy and Ovulation Tests
Dollar Tree normally carrys $1 pregnancy tests near the cash wraps (by the gum, batteries, etc). My personal opinion is that these are every bit as effective as the high dollar tests.
Amazon.com is a great place to purchase inexpensive tests, in bulk. (You can get 20 tests for the price of one drugstore brand test). In a recent search, I found I could order 25 pregnancy test strips
