Making your decision
PCOS does not mean everyone needs IVF. Ovulation, metabolic health, semen and tubal factors are considered together. When IVF is indicated, discuss stimulation and transfer planning to reduce the risk of excessive ovarian response.
2. Stimulation and egg collection
Hormone treatment aims to develop several follicles. Ultrasound and, when needed, blood tests guide monitoring and dose adjustments. The timing of the final maturation injection matters. Follow your clinic’s preparation and anaesthesia instructions for egg collection; another patient’s medication calendar is not a safe substitute for your own.
Ask at your consultation
How will excessive response be monitored, and when might transfer be delayed?
