How Many Injections Are Needed for IVF Treatment?

IVF uses multiple hormone injections over a few weeks. Here’s how many shots to expect and why they’re needed.

These are hormone injections like FSH or LH given daily for 8–14 days to help the ovaries produce more eggs.

1–2 Daily Stimulation Shots

To keep your body from releasing eggs too soon, you may need GnRH agonist or antagonist shots once daily for about 4–7 days.

Injections to Prevent Early Ovulation

One Trigger Shot

After egg retrieval, you might need daily progesterone shots for up to 10–12 weeks to support pregnancy.

Progesterone Support Shots

An IVF cycle usually involves 20–60 injections, combining stimulation, suppression, trigger, and support shots.

Total Number of Injections

The exact number depends on your treatment protocol. Your doctor will create a custom injection plan just for you.
