Injection technique

How fertility injections are prepared and given.

Medicines & protocols

Most stimulation medicines are given subcutaneously into the abdomen or thigh, using a pen or syringe according to the product. Clinics teach the technique for your exact device, and many provide video refreshers. Rotate sites, allow alcohol to dry, and phone the clinic promptly if a dose is missed or given wrongly rather than guessing.

Also known as: how to inject, subcutaneous injection, pen device
