The Worth A Shot Podcast

19. Shots, Shots, Shots! Real Talk on IVF Medications

Ashley & Brooks McMahon

In this episode of Worth a Shot, we break down the many medications involved in IVF — from egg retrieval to transfers. We share our personal stories about the physical and emotional challenges, including tricky injections, unexpected side effects, and how your partner can support you in the process. We also dive into the often-overwhelming costs of these meds, why doing your research on pharmacies can save you thousands, and our top recommendation for Kohll’s Pharmacy, who truly went above and beyond for us. Whether you’re just starting your IVF journey or deep in treatment, this episode offers practical tips, real talk, and a little humor to remind you—you’re not alone.
