Most fertility drugs are not associated with long term disease, but all must be monitored closely. Risks from gonadotropins and GnRH analogs include hypersensitivity reactions; ovarian hyper stimulation syndrome (OHSS); pulmonary and vascular complications, and multiple births.
Each reaction is considered serious and is the reason only specialists should be prescribing.
The short term side effects are breast tenderness, mood swings, cramps, night sweats.
Some clinics will follow a woman's cycle without hyper-stimulating the ovaries, but the chance of successful IVF goes down considerably when only one egg is retrieved. Each patient needs to be treated as an individual, if achieving pregnancy without drugs is important to you, you have the right to request this.
There are also herbalists who can suggest natural supplements to improve fertility. Natural should not be considered risk free, before taking any supplement you should check with your MD.
