Needle-Free IVF!
What is Needle-Free IVF?
Needle-Free IVF is an advanced fertility protocol that minimizes or eliminates traditional injections during ovarian stimulation. Instead of daily self-injections, patients use a small subcutaneous catheter system similar in concept to the devices used in continuous glucose monitoring, to deliver hormonal medications. Bloodwork and monitoring are adjusted so that much of the medication dosing is handled through this catheter, reducing the number of needle sticks.
