Preparing your eggs ready for collection1
Just before you come in for your egg collection appointment, you’ll need to take a final
hormone injection
This treatment is usually hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin). It is often called a ‘trigger hormone’ because it progresses
your eggs into their final stage of maturation.
