The medicines in a cycle
What each medicine is for, in the order you take them
-
Days 1 to about 10
Stimulation
Daily injections help several eggs grow at once. Scans and blood tests every few days show how they are doing.
Gonal-f, Menopur, Puregon
-
From about day 5 or 6
Blocker
A second daily injection stops the eggs being released too early, until they are ready.
Cetrotide, Orgalutran
-
One night, at an exact time
Trigger shot
One injection finishes the eggs' growth. The time matters, so set an alarm for it.
Ovitrelle, Pregnyl, Decapeptyl
-
About 34 to 36 hours later
Egg collection
A short procedure at the clinic, under sedation. Your clinic tells you the exact time.
Also called egg retrieval
-
From collection or before a transfer
Support
Progesterone helps the womb lining get ready for an embryo, often until the pregnancy test and sometimes beyond.
Utrogestan, Crinone, Cyclogest
Every clinic's plan is a little different. Always follow yours.
Why we built it
Made for the hardest, most hopeful weeks of IVF
An IVF cycle can mean three injections a day, an alarm before dawn and a trigger shot timed to the minute, all while you are hoping harder than you ever have. We built this IVF medication tracker so the timing is one less thing to carry.
You do not have to remember it all. You only have to take the next dose.
Why
Because nothing should slip
Missing or mixing up a dose is one of the biggest worries in an IVF cycle. Seeing every dose in one place, with a tick beside it, takes that weight off your mind.
How
Add it once, see every day
Copy each medicine from your clinic's plan. The tracker lays out every day, reminds you through your own calendar and keeps a record you can print.
What
A record, not a prescription
Your plan stays on your phone and we never see it. The tracker never tells you what to take: that is always your clinic's decision.
Your nurse will show you how the first time. It gets easier after a few days.Injections at home
Six small things that make injections easier
Same time every day
Keep each dose within about an hour of its usual time. An alarm or the calendar file helps.
Check before you inject
Look at the name, the dose and the expiry date on the box every time.
Clean hands, clean skin
Wash your hands, wipe the spot and let it dry before you inject.
Change the spot
Use a different place on your tummy each time, at least 5 cm from your belly button.
Store it as the box says
Some medicines live in the fridge and some do not. Never freeze them, and keep them from the sun.
Needles in a sharps box
Put used needles straight into a sharps box. Your clinic or pharmacy can give you one.
When to call your clinic
Call your clinic straight away if you have
- Tummy pain or swelling that keeps getting worse
- Feeling short of breath
- Passing much less urine than usual
- Being sick and not keeping fluids down
- Putting on more than 1 kg in a day
- Heavy bleeding or a high temperature
These can be signs of a reaction to the medicines that needs checking the same day. Most clinics have a number you can call at any hour.
Missed or late with a dose?
- Call your clinicAs soon as you notice, even if it feels small. Most clinics answer day and night.
- Tell them three thingsWhich medicine, the dose, and when you last took it.
- Do not double upTake a missed dose only if they tell you to, and at the time they say.
- Tick it hereMark the dose once you have taken it, so your record stays true.
Questions
What people ask about IVF medicines
One day, one dose at a time. You are doing so well.
Questions about your treatment? Our specialists are happy to talk it through.
What medicines are used in IVF?
Most cycles use stimulation injections to grow several eggs, a blocker injection to stop them being released too early, a trigger shot to finish them, and progesterone afterwards to support the womb lining. Your clinic chooses the exact medicines and doses for you.
How do I keep track of my IVF injections?
Add each medicine once with its dose, times and number of days. The tracker shows what to take today, lets you tick each dose, and can add every dose to your phone's calendar with an alert.
Does the tracker tell me what to take?
No. It keeps the plan your clinic gave you in one place. Always follow your clinic's instructions for every medicine, dose and time.
What should I do if I miss a dose?
Call your clinic as soon as you notice. Tell them which medicine, the dose and when you last took it. Do not take a double dose unless they tell you to.
How long does IVF stimulation last?
Usually 8 to 14 days of daily injections, with scans and blood tests every few days. Your clinic may change the dose as it goes.
Why does the time of the trigger shot matter?
Egg collection is planned for about 34 to 36 hours after the trigger shot, so the clinic times it to the hour. Set an alarm and take it exactly when they say.
Can I change the time I take my injections?
Ask your clinic first. Most daily injections are best within about an hour of the same time each day.
Can I get reminders?
Yes. "Add all to my calendar" saves every dose to your phone's calendar, where you can turn on alerts.
Where is my plan saved?
Only in this browser on this device. Nothing is sent to us. Use "Clear my plan" to remove it.
What should I show my clinic?
Print the plan: it lists every medicine, dose and time, and which doses you have ticked as taken.
