4. Trigger injection

Once your follicles have reached a certain size, you will be instructed to self-administer a “trigger injection” to encourage ovulation. Your nurse will talk you through how to correctly administer your trigger.

5. Egg collection

Approximately 36 hours after your trigger injection you will attend the London Women’s Clinic for your egg collection. This takes place under sedation and will take approximately 20 minutes.

The embryology team will take your collected eggs and fertilise them using IVF or ICSI depending on your treatment plan. The embryology team will carefully monitor the development of the resulting embryos using timelapse imaging.

Kind iVF patient pathway embryo transfer

7. Embryo transfer

You will have your embryo transfer three or five days after your egg collection. The embryology team will keep you updated on the progress of your developing embryos following your egg collection. The embryo transfer procedure takes approximately 30 minutes and does not require any sedation.

Two weeks after your embryo transfer you will have a BHCG blood test to measure the level of pregnancy hormone in your blood. The result will determine if your treatment was successful.
