Daily injections might seem like a daunting proposition. Even though IVF treatment requires injections, we have planned our medication regimens and the type of injections to reduce pain and tension. Our nurses also carefully train and assist each patient during this procedure. Medicines that were once injected into the muscle are now administered as a little injection under the skin (subcutaneous). These injections are generally given over a period of 10 to 12 days, and then one intramuscular injection of hCG, a hormone that initiates ovulation at the end of the stimulation cycle, is administered. Patients who choose to avoid intramuscular injection can now have the hCG injection, which was previously only accessible in an intramuscular form.
Patients are given a progesterone hormone supplement after the egg harvesting procedure to prime the uterine lining for the embryo transfer. Instead of being injected, progesterone may be administered to the majority of people through a vaginal pill or vaginal suppository. Injections can be completely avoided in the second part of the IVF cycle in this method. It has been proven that progesterone vaginal pills and suppositories are as effective to progesterone injections.
