When we first began trying to conceive through IVF we were shocked by how little training and support was offered by fertility clinics through the egg retrieval process.
In fact, after our in-office training session on how to administer IVF injections we asked if they had given us the light version because we were pharmacists — and found that we received the same training that everyone does. We both thought “this is crazy!”
What many people don’t realize as they begin the IVF process is how complicated it can be. Managing your IVF cycle injections is A LOT of pressure to put on someone in an already challenging time of their life.
And don’t get us wrong, fertility clinics are doing the best they can! Offering personalized day-by-day support to every patient they see simply isn’t feasible, this is where we come in to try to help bridge that gap for others overwhelmed by the process.
