The Role of IVF Injections in
Fertility Treatment

IVF injections play a crucial role in
enhancing fertility by optimising
hormone levels and preparing the body for successful conception.

INTRODUCTION

 IVF injections are an essential part of assisted reproductive technology, designed to stimulate egg production and support embryo implantation. Whether it’s subcutaneous fertility injections or intramuscular progesterone injections, knowing how to administer them correctly can improve your IVF experience.

IVF London provides a comprehensive and personalised approach to fertility treatments, ensuring you receive expert care tailored to your needs.

During in vitro fertilisation (IVF), a combination of fertility hormone shots will be prescribed based on your unique needs. Your fertility specialist will guide you through the process to ensure safe and effective administration.

Types of Injections Used in In Vitro Fertilization
  1. Subcutaneous Fertility Injections

These injections involve a small needle inserted just under the skin, typically in the abdomen or thigh. Common medications include:

 

  • Gonal F – Stimulates follicle development
  • Menopur – Helps ovarian stimulation
  • Clexane – Blood thinner used during treatment
  • Lubion Injection – A progesterone injection crucial for embryo implantation
  • How to Administer Lubion Injection for IVF

    • Clean the injection site with an alcohol swab.
    • Use a fine needle to inject under the skin.
    • Rotate sites to minimise irritation.
Intramuscular Progesterone Injections

These injections deliver medication deep into the muscle, usually in the upper buttocks. They are essential for supporting the uterine lining during IVF. Common medications include:

 

  • Lentogest – Supports progesterone levels
  • Prontogest – Enhances embryo implantation

Administering an intramuscular injection can be challenging, so partners often assist, making them feel more involved in the IVF process.
