What is the needle size for the luteinizing hormone injection in IVF?

Patient's question:

I am very scared when this happens. I often experience lower abdominal pain and don't know how to solve it, so I came here to consult. Could you please tell me what size needle is used for the luteinizing hormone injection in IVF?

Doctor's answer:

The intramuscular injection of progesterone is usually performed with a 5ml syringe. In fact, a 2ml syringe can also be chosen, but it is generally preferred to use a 5ml one. Since it is an oil-based medication, it is difficult to inject, so it is advisable to select a needle with a larger gauge.
Hello, the current situation is not abnormal. Typically, the embryonic bud and heart tube can be observed after 50 days of pregnancy, but your time has not yet arrived. Additionally, the heart tube and embryonic bud of some embryos may be delayed and only visible around 60 days.
