When to Use Gonadotropin?

Gonadotropins usually are used during fertility treatments such as intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilization (IVF). Injections of gonadotropins are started early in the menstrual cycle to cause multiple eggs to grow to a mature size.

When should I take gonadotropin injection?

In most cases, you will give an injection of gonadotropins once per day, in the evening (between 5 and 8 PM, for example). The injection can be given under the skin in most cases.

Can I get pregnant with gonadotropins?

Gonadotropins may improve the chances of becoming pregnant (with in vitro fertilization [IVF], intrauterine insemination [IUI], or by natural intercourse) by stimulating the ovaries to produce more than one follicle. Each of these approaches is associated with an increased risk of multiple pregnancies.
