How To Use Your Medications
Fertility medications are designed to be self-administered. Your Nurses will explain how and when to use the medications as you begin your cycle and are available to demonstrate how to self-administer the medications if you wish. Contact your Nursing Team to make an appointment.
Please note, it is important you follow the storage guidelines which are clearly stated on the packaging of each medication. As medications are supplied directly by the pharmacy and not issued by FertilitySA nurses, any medication that has not been stored correctly will need to be repurchased from the pharmacy.
Many of the medications also have patient information booklets and videos, please see below for the details on your specific medications. To gain access to some of these booklets and videos, you will need to enter information from the pack your medication comes in so please have it close to hand.
