For those of us that have gone through fertility treatment beyond Clomid, injections were often inevitable. But that may not be true soon.
Apparently, researchers have developed a new way to transfer fertility drugs, besides injection, through a patch you wear on your arm. It's still in testing, and not available for wide use. But if the patch turns out to be a reliable, safe alternative to self-injection, it may mean less stress during fertility treatment. (I don't know about you, but giving myself the injections was one of the more stressful aspects of treatment.)
On the other hand, wearing a patch on your arm (with what looks to be from the pictures a tiny box) may not be preferred by all women. It might not be a great feeling to be reminded all day that you're going through fertility treatment.
What do you think? Would you prefer the patch to injections? Or maybe not? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
I am still using clomid currently, but the stress of maybe having to use injectables is already there. I dispise needles and so does my husband. It would be hard for us to administer them. A patch would be amazing! I would be so thrilled and releived.
