Question
Is it permissible to administer fertility injections on Shabbat?
Answer
Hello, the injection involves two parts: preparing the syringe, which should be done before Shabbat, including inserting the needle, and placing it in a sterile location until the desired time for the injection. However, it is permissible to administer the injection on Shabbat unless the injection definitely causes bleeding. In a regular subcutaneous injection, it is rare for blood to come out, and therefore, even if blood does come out, since it is unintentional, it is permitted. However, a person who knows that they always bleed should ensure that a non-Jew administers the injection if there is a need to inject on Shabbat.
