Fertility Drugs

Home / Infertility Education / Fertility Drugs

Fertility drugs are available to treat many of the conditions that cause infertility, and many are known as “ovulation inducing” drugs.

Most patients should undergo a fertility workup prior to beginning any fertility drug treatment. There could be many causes of infertility in addition to ovulatory disorders, including endometriosis, tubal disease, cervical factor and others.

Also, fertility drug treatment should not be initiated until the male partner has undergone a semen analysis.

Medication Instructions

Administration of Medications

Each couple or individual is responsible for the administration of their medications that are necessary for ovarian stimulation.  The majority of couples/individuals undergoing IVF learn how to administer their own injections, whether it is the partner or yourself giving the injection.

We understand that some couples or individuals may not be able to give their own injections for various reasons.  The patient is responsible for arranging injections needed throughout the week, weekends, and holidays. HRC Fertility nurses are also available during business hours to provide injections for a nominal fee.

Prior to patients administering their own injections our clinical team provides individualized instruction in a preoperative appointment to help patients properly give their own injections.  We also provided links below of videos of injection demonstrations.
