How to use a trigger injection

Many women who have regular menstrual cycles don’t actually ovulate, or release an egg. 40-50% of fertility issues are caused by lack of ovulation.  Using a trigger injection ensures, or at least increases the likelihood of ovulation. A trigger injection also increases the amount of progesterone released from the corpus luteum, and this supports the developing pregnancy.

 

Your trigger injection will be Ovidrel, or Ovitrelle. You must use a full dose, or 250mcg. When you are using OVUNET, we will tell you when to use a trigger injection.
