Sunfert IVF Gonal-F injection step-by-step tutorial video guide for at-home fertility treatment support

What is Gonal-F Injection?

Gonal-F is a fertility medication containing follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), used to stimulate the ovaries to produce multiple follicles during treatment.

 

Why is Gonal-F Used in Fertility Treatment?

We use Gonal-F to support ovarian stimulation in treatments such as IVF and ovulation induction. It helps:

  • encourage the development of multiple eggs
  • improve the chances of successful fertilisation
  • support controlled and predictable ovulation
  • optimise outcomes during IVF cycles

 

Why is Correct Injection Technique Important?

Administering Gonal-F correctly ensures:

  • proper absorption of the medication
  • consistent hormonal response
  • reduced risk of dosage errors
  • a smoother and more confident treatment experience
     

What Should You Do if You Inject Incorrectly or Miss a Dose?

If you make a mistake or miss your injection timing, do not panic.

We understand that this can happen, especially when you are managing treatment at home.

  • Do not double your dose
  • Do not adjust your medication on your own
  • Contact our care team immediately for guidance

Body Mass Index calculator

Being overweight or underweight can reduce fertility, so it is important to keep your body weight within the normal healthy range.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is an indication of your body weight and can be calculated by dividing weight by height. You should aim for a BMI of between 20 and 25, as this will optimise your chances of conception.

Woman’s BMI below 19

Even in these modern times, nature knows best. If a woman's BMI falls below 19, the body senses famine and ovulation is switched off to prevent the risk of having a baby with malnutrition. Excessive exercise can reduce body fat and increase muscle mass to a point where periods cease for the same reason. Risk of miscarriage is also increased in women with a low BMI.

Being underweight

If a woman's BMI falls below 19, the body senses famine and ovulation is switched off to prevent the risk of having a baby with malnutrition. Excessive exercise can reduce body fat and increase muscle mass to a point where periods cease for the same reason. Risk of miscarriage is also increased in women with a low BMI.

BMI’s greater than 30

This can reduce fertility by 50%. Pregnancy for women with a 30+ BMI is often associated with problems such as maternal diabetes, high blood pressure, big babies and increased risk of caesarean section.
