Hi Welcome to Chat Doctor It would be better if you mention the name of injections. As you are on 4th day of IVF treatment, I presume that you are getting gonadotropin injections(with or without GRH agonist) for ovarian stimulation or only GRH agonist. Yes you are right that dosage of injection is pre decided and exact dose should be taken correctly under the skin or intro muscularly. As volume of this injection is very small these injections can be given subcutaneously (Highly purified and recombinant) in no time. It is absolutely OK to walk and do your normal routine. You should avoid physical or mental stress. Avoid lifting weights (e.g. Bucket filled with water). Regarding dosage of injections you can always clarify with your treating doctor. All the very best for the treatment.
