Fertility Drugs

Some fertility drugs are injected subcutaneously, with a very small needle, just under the skin – usually in the thigh, stomach or back of the arm. The medication may come in a prefilled syringe, as a “pen” that may be preloaded or come with prefilled cartridges, or in ampules that you’ll need to mix. Your fertility doctor or nurse will give you the required dosage, teach you how to mix medications (if necessary) and how to inject them.
