If your fertility specialist has incorporated trigger shots into your treatment plan, here\u2019s what you need to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-are-trigger-shots\"><strong>What are trigger shots?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re new to trigger shots, you may feel overwhelmed by the amount of new information you\u2019ve received about <a href=\"https:\/\/myfertilitycloud.com\/blog\/infertility-causes-the-not-so-silent-struggle\">infertility<\/a> and the IVF cycle. But don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ve got all the essential information you need to know right here.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trigger shots are a type of injection that is specifically designed to help with the process of fertilizing an egg. Trigger shots are just one step in the process of <a href=\"https:\/\/myfertilitycloud.com\/services-and-pricing\">in vitro fertilization<\/a>. These injections contain one of two hormones used to stimulate the follicles in the ovary to speed up the egg maturation process. These hormones help eggs mature quickly and stimulate the ovulation cycle so that the eggs can be retrieved by an infertility specialist right before they would typically be released from the ovaries. The two hormones commonly used in trigger shots are human chorionic gonadotropin (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/books\/NBK532950\/#:~:text=Human%20chorionic%20gonadotropin%20(hCG)%20is,useful%20following%20an%20aborted%20pregnancy.\">HCG<\/a>) and <a href=\"https:\/\/medlineplus.gov\/druginfo\/meds\/a685040.html\">leuprolide acetate<\/a>. Usually, you administer one over the other, depending on your doctor\u2019s choice. However, some doctors use both hormones, called combination trigger shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-when-do-you-administer-trigger-shots\">When do you administer trigger shots?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You must carefully administer trigger shots to be the most effective at inducing ovulation and egg maturation. Here\u2019s what you need to know about how you administer trigger shots:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Most people self-administer their shots <\/strong>\u2014<strong> <\/strong>One of the first things to know about administering trigger shots is that most people administer them on their own. Your fertility specialist will prescribe you a shot to inject during a specified time. Some people prefer to have their partner administer their injections, while others prefer to do it themselves. Trigger shots should be administered either under the muscle or under the skin. Most women self-administer their shots through the stomach.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Typically within 36 hours before egg retrieval<\/strong> \u2014 Most fertility specialists will have their clients wait until 36 hours before their egg retrieval procedure to take their trigger shot. Timing is essential during the IVF process to ensure that the eggs are mature but haven\u2019t gone through the fallopian tubes yet. If you perform an egg retrieval procedure before the 36 hour mark, the eggs may not have fully developed. Conversely, retrieving the eggs too late after the shot would likely be unsuccessful because the eggs would have probably already entered the fallopian tubes. Be sure to consult with your fertility specialist about how many hours before your procedure you should take your trigger shot.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Depends on the type of hormone in your trigger shot <\/strong>\u2014 The exact length of time that you should take your trigger shot before your egg retrieval will depend on the hormone you\u2019re taking. Combination shots may require multiple injections at separate times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>About 36 hours after you administer your trigger shot, a clinician will perform an outpatient procedure called follicular aspiration. We perform this procedure to obtain the mature eggs from the ovaries. While you\u2019re undergoing your procedure, your partner will provide a sample of sperm to fertilize the eggs in a lab.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-fertility-cloud-can-provide-you-with-trigger-shots-during-your-infertility-treatment\"><strong>Fertility Cloud can provide you with trigger shots during your infertility treatment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>At <a href=\"https:\/\/myfertilitycloud.com\/\">Fertility Cloud<\/a>, we value shared experiences.
