Fertility Myths

I would never take fertility drugs — they cause ovarian and breast cancer.

Fertility Facts

A few early studies had conflicting results about the link between fertility drugs and ovarian cancer. However, more recent studies have found the use of fertility drugs does not increase a woman’s risk of ovarian cancer.

a blog by Alec, March 16, 2011

You’re presented with a list of fertility medications you will need for your treatment cycle, more drugs than you have ever had to take in your life. You have no idea why you need them, what they do or how much they will cost. If you don’t have prescription coverage for your medications, you may be in for some sticker shock when you talk to the pharmacy about the total price.
