What Experts Say

During IVF, the ovaries are stimulated to grow several eggs, but there is a risk they release too early before they can be collected. Cetrorelix blocks the hormone signal that triggers this early release, keeping the cycle on track.

It acts quickly, which lets fertility specialists control the exact timing of egg collection. The injection is given on specific days of the stimulation cycle, and the timing is carefully planned by the clinic.

Cetrorelix is used only as part of a supervised fertility programme, alongside other hormone medicines. Patients are taught how to give the injection and are monitored closely with scans and blood tests throughout the cycle.
