Visit Lumen MedsThe verdict
CoreAge Rx edges out Lumen Meds on the Mom-Tested Score, 94 to 42 (A vs C). Moms who want a flat, no-teaser price, both molecules available, and a signup you can genuinely finish while the baby sleeps — without a phone-tag scheduling loop.
Lumen Meds is still a genuine option — there is a table on this site headed "Transparent Monthly Pricing" and, if your browser is not running JavaScript, it says $0.00. The prices are animations that count up. Fetched plainly, three of its four price boxes read zero and the fourth reads $195.82 — which is not what a browser shows either. In a browser the two programs cost $114.99 and $191.99. Weigh the six mom factors below against your own priorities.

CoreAge Rx
Ranked #1 · Grade A
What we like
- Async intake — no live video visit to schedule around nap time; you reach a real price without booking a call first
- Flat monthly price with no first-month teaser that jumps at refill — the number on screen is the number every month
- Both semaglutide and tirzepatide on one account, so you're not locked to one molecule
The caveats
- Not the rock-bottom sticker — a couple of budget brands undercut it if price is your only lever
- Compounded only — no FDA-approved brand (Wegovy/Zepbound) if you specifically want the name brand
- It's a general metabolic program, not a hormone or PCOS specialty clinic
Lumen Meds
Ranked #286 · Grade C
What we like
- $114.99 a month for compounded semaglutide is one of the lowest real figures I have found
- Both prices are said to include the doctor's visit, the medicine, free expedited cold shipping and ongoing support
- It names its company and carries a LegitScript badge
The caveats
- ⛔ The pricing table shows $0.00 without JavaScript
- ⛔ The page's own HTML says $195.82 for tirzepatide, which matches neither the $191.99 shown nor the zeros beside it
- Ten price addresses and twelve legal addresses return the homepage instead of their own content
