In some cases the clinician may prescribe further hormone injections to prevent your ovaries from starting another menstrual cycle. This will depend upon the levels of hormones already in the blood and the type of drugs which have already been given. In any event there will be a wait of about two weeks when a pregnancy test will be performed to determine if the treatment has been successful.

The extent to which clinics will remain involved after this will vary. Some clinics may carry out the pregnancy test and some antenatal care, others discharge patients to the care of their own GP or consultant straight away. Whether successful or not, the clinic needs to know the outcome of the treatment. It will be able to offer advice and support, if necessary.
