Question

Before her eggs are due to be collected for IVF, a woman is injected around 36 hours before collection. This injection usually contains human chorionic gonadotrophin (hCG). Why is this hormone used prior to the collection of eggs

Answer 1

Answer it helps the eggs mature and prevents premature ovulation which is when then developing eggs are released too soon

Because it helps the eggs mature that means that there can be more eggs harvested aka the mother has more chances that at least one egg will fertilise, hope that helps
