IVF Therapy: Key Steps for a Successful Start

Hormonal therapy is the first and one of the most crucial phases in the preparation for in vitro fertilisation (IVF). It stimulates the proper development of egg cells, ensures better embryo quality, and creates optimal conditions for successful implantation.

At Plodnost Hospital, we understand that every IVF journey is unique. Our expert team guides patients through each step with care, precision, and a deep sense of responsibility.

Why is IVF hormonal therapy important?

Hormonal therapy is designed to mimic and enhance the body’s natural reproductive process
It allows doctors to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple mature eggs during one cycle
increasing the chances of fertilisation
increasing the chances of embryo development.

Nurse Sneshka, the lead IVF nurse at Plodnost with extensive experience in reproductive medicine, says:

“The correct administration of hormonal therapy is half of the success. Patients must follow the instructions given by the medical team exactly and never improvise.”

Key steps for IVF therapy:

Correct dosage and consistent application

Medications must be administered at the same time every day. The dosage and schedule are personalised for each patient based on their diagnosis, hormone levels, and response to therapy.
Strict adherence to your doctor’s recommendations

Do not skip or change your treatment unless advised by your fertility specialist. Every step is part of a carefully structured plan.
Regular monitoring through ultrasound and hormone tests

Frequent check-ups allow the medical team to track the ovarian response and adjust the therapy if needed. This ensures the best timing for egg retrieval.

“Injections are applied subcutaneously at a 45 or 90-degree angle depending on the medication. Patients are always taught how to apply them properly, but if anything is unclear, they should not hesitate to ask,” adds Nurse Sneshka.
