What is trigger injection in IVF?
IVFAnswer
The trigger shot is a super important part of IVF! It's an injection of hormones, usually hCG, that you get right before egg retrieval. It helps your eggs mature fully and detach from the follicle walls, making them easier to collect. It's like the final countdown before the big day! You should contact your doctor for more information. The trigger shot is a carefully timed injection that is crucial for successful egg retrieval and fertilization. The trigger shot mimics the natural luteinizing hormone (LH) surge that triggers ovulation. The timing of the trigger shot is crucial for successful egg retrieval. The eggs need to be retrieved at the optimal time after the trigger shot to ensure they are mature and ready for fertilization.
The eggs are typically retrieved 34-36 hours after the trigger shot. The timing of the egg retrieval is carefully coordinated with the trigger shot to maximize the number of mature eggs retrieved. Following your doctor's instructions regarding the timing of the trigger shot is essential for a successful IVF cycle.
