IVF is an assisted reproductive technology commonly used to help couples who are unable to conceive naturally due to physiological reasons achieve their goal of parenthood. During the IVF process, patients may need 2–3 injections to stimulate ovulation and increase the chances of conception. In the early stages of IVF treatment, female patients typically receive injections of ovulation-stimulating medications to promote ovarian development and the maturation of follicles. Commonly used ovulation-inducing drugs include clomiphene citrate capsules, letrozole tablets, and human chorionic gonadotropin for injection. Generally, 2–3 injections are required for IVF treatment.

Overall, the injection protocol in IVF treatment is tailored to each patient's individual condition. Doctors determine the appropriate medication plan based on factors such as the patient’s age, physical health, and ovarian function, while regularly monitoring the patient’s response and progress. At the same time, patients should closely follow their doctor’s instructions, administer the medications on time and as prescribed, and promptly report any discomfort or concerns to their doctor.
