Women seeking fertility treatment are getting financial relief after the Trump administration reached a deal with pharmaceutical company EMD Serono to lower the cost of a common fertility medication.
The backstory:
EMD Serono's Gonal-f is among several drugs frequently used by patients going through IVF treatments — which involve using hormones to trigger ovulation, producing multiple eggs that are retrieved from the ovaries to be fertilized or frozen. The drugs can be expensive, often costing patients thousands of dollars for a single IVF cycle.
