A trigger injection is an important step in many fertility treatment cycles because it helps the final stage of egg development happen at the right time. In natural cycles, your body releases a surge of hormones that completes egg maturation and triggers ovulation. A trigger injection is designed to mimic or support that process so the egg(s) can mature fully and clinicians can time ovulation or egg retrieval with much greater precision.
That timing matters. When ovulation and retrieval can be predicted more accurately, treatment becomes more efficient: appointments can be scheduled appropriately, procedures can be planned with confidence, and the overall cycle runs more smoothly. For many patients, that added predictability reduces uncertainty and helps the process feel more manageable.
At Cape Fertility, we provide clear, step-by-step guidance on when and how to take your trigger, what to expect afterwards, and when to contact the clinic so you feel supported, informed, and never alone in the details.
