Question
I am undergoing fertility treatment, and I need to take an injection every day, otherwise it won't work. Is it permissible for me to do this on Shabbat?
Answer
There are injections that need to be taken every 24 hours, and in most cases, they can be taken before the onset of Shabbat and immediately after it ends [in consultation with the treating physician]. However, there are injections that must be taken specifically in the morning, and in such cases, it is permitted because it is not inevitable that blood will be drawn due to the injection.
