"More than 100 injections are needed to promote discharge?" When many expectant mothers hear that an injection is needed during the ovulation induction stage of test-tube babies, their first reaction is fear and resistance. But the truth is that the number of injections during the entire ejection promotion phase is usually between 10 and 30 injections, which is far less exaggerated than the rumors suggest. Let's learn the truth about promoting injections and bid farewell to unnecessary anxiety.
1. Why do women have to receive injections during the ovulation induction process?
,.The main reason is that injection can make drug absorption more direct and the effect more stable, which is conducive to precise control of follicular development.

Second, how many injections are actually needed?
Long plan: It includes two stages: downgrading and promoting emission, with a total of about 20-30 injections.
:,20-30.Down-regulation acupuncture is used to inhibit the interference of endogenous hormones, synchronize the development of follicles, and then apply to promote the growth of follicles in the later stage.
Antagonist therapy: This approach involves initiating ovulation starting from the 2nd to 3rd day of menstruation. Later on, antagonists are added to prevent early ovulation. The total number of injections is approximately 10-15. This is a widely used treatment method at present.

Throughout the entire process of in vitro fertilization, women typically need to undergo a series of examinations and preparatory steps. Doctors will use ovulation-stimulating medications to induce ovulation in the ovaries. Regular injections of these medications are also necessary to promote ovulation. The frequency of injections varies depending on individual differences and the specific treatment plan.
Third, how painful is it really to get an injection?
,.Most drainage promoting needles are injected subcutaneously. The needle is small, usually only about 4mm long, and there is only a slight tingling when it enters the skin.

· It is prohibited to alter the dosage of the medication on one’s own.The dosage of the drugs used for triggering ovulation must be carefully adjusted based on the development of the follicles. Any unauthorized changes could lead to Ovarian Hyperstimulation Syndrome (OHSS), and in severe cases, it could even be life-threatening.
· It is prohibited to reuse needles multiple times.Reusing disposable needles not only carries the risk of broken needles, but also increases the chances of infection and local reactions. Be sure to change the needles after each use.
