Everything You Need to Know About a Trigger Shot During IUI or IVF

At Omyafertility, we often get questions about the trigger shot used in IUI and IVF cycles. If you're preparing for fertility treatment, here's everything you need to know about a trigger shot during IUI or IVF to feel more confident and informed.

The trigger shot contains the hormone hCG, which mimics the body's natural LH surge. This hormonal surge helps the ovaries release a mature egg. Administered by injection, the trigger shot is carefully timed — ovulation usually happens 36 hours after it's given.

In IUI, the shot ensures that sperm is introduced into the uterus at the exact moment the egg is released. In IVF, it helps your doctor retrieve mature eggs before they are naturally released from the ovaries.

Everything you need to know about a trigger shot during IUI or IVF also includes understanding potential side effects. You may experience mild cramping, bloating, or mood changes. It’s also important to avoid taking a pregnancy test too soon, as the hCG can remain in your system and lead to a false positive.

At Omyafertility, we provide detailed instructions and support at every stage. From tracking your ovulation to guiding you on when to take your trigger shot, we ensure you're never alone on your journey to parenthood.
