drug therapies

Fertility drug therapy can feel overwhelming. You want to know as much as possible about the medications you are taking as well as any potential side effects, both physical and emotional. Side effects are a possibility from any drug, but not all patients experience side effects from fertility drugs.

Ask as many questions as needed to understand your treatment and the unfamiliar terminology. Your healthcare provider or fertility clinic may recommend different Web sites, including the site of the company that markets the medication, to assist you in understanding the medications. Be patient. It may take some time to absorb all of this information.

There is detailed information in this section about common fertility drugs. You’ll learn how each works, how they are administered and what side effects and results to expect.
