If you’re exploring fertility treatments, understanding each step can give you greater confidence. At Omyafertility, we ensure you know everything you need to know about a trigger shot during IUI or IVF, so you feel supported and informed throughout your journey. The trigger shot plays a key role in both IUI and IVF cycles. It contains hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin), which signals the ovaries to release mature eggs. Ovulation typically follows about 36 hours after the injection. For IUI, timing insemination after the trigger shot is essential for sperm to meet the egg at the perfect moment. In IVF, it prepares the body for egg retrieval by ensuring the eggs are mature and ready for collection. Everything you need to know about a trigger shot during IUI or IVF also involves potential side effects. While generally safe, some women may feel mild bloating, tenderness, or cramping. It’s also important to know that taking a pregnancy test too soon after the shot may result in a false positive due to lingering hCG. At Omyafertility, we guide you through every detail — from scheduling your shot to monitoring ovulation — ensuring precision and peace of mind. Our personalized care approach maximizes your treatment success.
