Trigger injection after natural ovulation

3 replies

P2020 · 26/02/2024 18:01

I am hoping someone can help me. I am currently preparing for a frozen embryo transfer (Donor eggs) with my clinic in Spain. We are following a natural cycle on this occasion. I am just taking aspirin injections and now some progesterone pessaries.
I informed the clinic on Friday I had ovulated. They mis read my email and told me to take a trigger injection that night which I did. I have now been told that we need to cancel this cycle (transfer was booked for Friday) because I should not have taken the trigger injection as I had already ovulated. The doctor wasn’t available to speak to me. My coordinator told me to keep taking my meds and we would speak tomorrow. I have spent nearly £1000 on bloods and scans this cycle in the Uk and £1500 to the clinic plus the meds and flight costs of over £500.
Is there any chance they will still transfer? I do not understand the implications of taking the trigger injection (Ovritelle) after ovulation.
Any insights would be great.

Oh my goodness. That really isn't great on their part.

I am confused why you have a trigger for a donor round but then my donor cycles are hrt meds so no triggers. I thought triggers were for egg collection?

I would be really tempted to complain if you have lost all this money because of this.

Definitely ask ungently to speak to someone. I assume your embryos are already made?

@P2020 I'm so sorry. If they misread your email then it's on them. You shouldn't be paying for their mistakes. Were you able to go through with the transfer?

@IVFlife I will be doing a natural FET soon and have been prescribed Ovitrelle trigger too, it's quite common for natural modified cycles.

@P2020 as with @Serendipity24 I am on a natural modified FET protocol this month and took Ovitrelle the day I surged. It simply ensures you ovulate and would not affect transfer
