Hi,
One should not receive injections which will enable him to fast; there is no obligation to do so, and doing so may be an inappropriate use of medicine as well as an act of wounding in performing the injection.
This is true for any fast.
(Rav Moshe Feinstein, Igrot Moshe Orach Chaim 3:90)
Have a great day,
Mordechai

Fasting and Pregnancy
Hello,
Sunday July 20 is the fast day of Shivah asar b'Tammuz, the 17th of Tammuz.
A woman who is pregnant or nursing should not fast on this fast if she feels the slightest weakness. (Of course, that does not mean she should over-indulde in food, either.)
(Code of Jewish Law Orach Chaim 550:1; Mishneh Berurah 550:5)
Have a good day,
Mordechai

Fasting by ill people
Hello,
We have begun to discuss the fast day of the 17th of Tammuz, which is coming up on Sunday July 20th.
One who is unusually ill does not observe this fast, even if he is not deathly ill. However, normal feelings of non-dangerous weakness due to fasting are not considered 'illness' in this regard.
(Mishneh Berurah 550:4)
