Is it true that IVF involves lots of needles and blood tests?
Yes IVF does involve a number of self administered daily injections for a short period of time. The injection is similar to a diabetic pen and is user friendly with minimal discomfort, although this does vary from person to person. Our experienced nursing staff will teach both you and your partner how to use and administer all drugs and are always available to assist you with any concerns. Blood tests assessing hormone levels are an important tool in the successful management of fertility treatment. The number of blood tests required will be determined by your treating doctor and kept to a minimum. Our pathology staff are highly experienced and will support even the most nervous patient through each visit.
