About HCG Injection

HCG injection (Lyophilized) (Pregnyl®) is a medication that may assist with fertility treatments. It contains human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), a hormone produced during pregnancy. Luteinizing hormone (LH), also produced by the body, supports egg development and stimulates ovulation before pregnancy. HCG has similar actions to LH, and when used for infertility, it mimics the LH surge to help stimulate ovulation. In women, HCG injections may be used to trigger ovulation and assist with infertility. In men, HCG may help increase sperm count in the treatment of certain types of hypogonadism.[1]
The timing and dosage of HCG injections in women are typically coordinated with other fertility treatments, such as follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) therapy, to maximize the chances of conception. Pregnyl® may also help with assisted reproductive technologies like in vitro fertilization (IVF). Proper administration and adherence to the prescribed regimen are essential for achieving the desired outcomes in fertility treatments.[2][3]
