for a description of how I evaluate a couple prior to IVF, please see our web page,<www.texasfertility.com>. We feel it is important not to overlook something which may intrfere with our chances of success. After we have addressed all the issues we find, we have our patients on birth control pills for at least 2 weeks prior to stimulating ovaries with injecatble FSH products. We get better quality eggs and embryos that way. After stimulating ovaries for 7 to 10 days, we inject hCG to mature eggs, and retrieve eggs 34 hours after hCGinjection. Embryo transfer is usually 5 days later. Please note, these injections are very tiny. They are similar to the insulin injections most diabetics take. We still support early IVF pregnancy with intramuscular progesterone in oil intramuscular injections. I am too much of a coward to give up the "gold standard".
