Explanation of the injections for IVF

The injection syringe that is thick and long and like a pen is GONAL F.

This looks like a pen, but it is an injection syringe.


Syringe and needles

We start with this injection. This injection's purpose is to hold natural ovulation.
This injection already contains liquid medicine for 6 days, you just turn to the dosage number that you were indicated to by your doctor.
Put in a new needle each time.

Turn the red dial to set the dose.

Pinch your stomach and pierce the injection.
Put the used needle into the waste box each time after you have finished.



This is Cetrotide 250.

The top side on the left is the needle, and right next to it is the powder medicine in the little bottle and the syringe contains the liquid medicine.


This injection has powder and liquid medicine. Just before you use this, mix them together. This has an instruction DVD.

Mix the powder and liquid medicine together.

Melt the powder medicine in the liquid.

Put it back into the syringe and push out the air gently.
Pinch your stomach and pierce the injection.



This injection's purpose is to grow the bag that contains your eggs. This injection's needle is thicker and longer than GONAL F.

Cetrotide 250 is shorter than GONAL F.
But Cetrotide250 is a little more painful than GONAL F......



The last injection, this is used 36 hours before egg pick up.
This injection 's purpose is to promote to the maturity of the eggs.
You don't have to do anything to prepare for this. 

Just pierce it on your stomach!

All injections are pierced on the stomach under the navel, but don't pierce right under your navel.

It's so painful!!
