HCG injection can help women with fertility problems.
In order to increase the chances of becoming pregnant, HCG injection is given along with other fertility drugs.
HCG is the pregnancy hormone that maintains the corpus luteum producing progesterone when conception occurs.
The injection is administered in two ways based on your body’s condition and type. It can be given just under the skin i.e. subcuteously or in muscles i.e. intramuscularly. The timing of the HCG injection administration is very important.
But, before going to take the injection, it is very important to inform your health care provider if you have any of the following conditions:
Usually, HCG injection is given to thigh or buttock muscles. This injection can be given by your health care provider at a specified day of your fertility treatment cycle. You will be administered with this injection as one dose per cycle.
Ask your doctor about how to inject HCG on your own. He will explain the procedure.
HCG injection can easily interact with herbal and dietary supplements, like black cohosh, chasteberry, or blue cohosh. So, it is better to inform your health care provider about all the medications you are using, along with non-prescription, nutritional and herbal products.
If you encounter any of the following hcg injections side effects, then you need to inform your health care professional:
If you want to take this fertility treatment, it is better to consult your doctor. He will give a clear idea about the benefits and side effects of the HCG injection and also suggest you whether it is suitable for your body’s condition or not.

I don't know if anyone with knowledge will be answering this, but I am noticing the frequent urination from the HCG injection, but it's not small amounts. Does that mean that it's an adverse affect? This is my first month trying the injection. I called C.A.R.S this morning and they told me what I was experiencing were hormone spikes (most likely).
I am thinking about taking this injection but i would like to know how accurate it is
I think this is my next step after 1 year on 150 clomid. I am so saddened that after 2 years of trying I am still not pregnant. People keep telling me to stop thinking about it... how can I 'Forget'. I'm getting so disheartened by the whole situation and just wish I could stop stressing about it. I hate my body for the upset it is causing me, I hate it for not being normal, and I hate it for doing this to me!!
My husband tells me not to be so hard on myself, but it's a fact, it's my body causing these problems! How can I not blame myself?
I have an appointment with the fertility clinic on the 28th Feb. He mentioned last time about injections next if clomid doesn't work. So I assume he means the above, it is my last chance as I'm not sure I can take much more upset and disappointment!
Sorry for the long winded comment but I am so emotionally drained.
I am going through exactly the same thing. I had the specialized NaPro technology surgery...have tried progesteron, clomid, plus trying to keep my hips elevated afterwards. I fortunately found out that two major problems are very fixable...we'll see. The only sperm friendly lubricant is "pre-seed", plus we found out that we're to wait at least 15 minutes with my hips elevated...I used to run to the bathroom to try to urinate, but they say 15 minutes, won't cause a UTI. I've been praying that God will just help me accept the cross he gave me because every day I cry and every day I get my period, I cry even more...I'm 37...didn't marry my husband untill 1.5 years go. My LAST chance is the HCG injections....besides divine intervention, which I do believe in. btw...people who tell me to calm down make me want to slap them in the face so I guess their advice is doing the OPPOSITE for me Good luck for you, I pray for everyone who has infertility issues, cause now I KNOW what it does to people's emotions.
hi ladys i think ye r all very lucky, i had one miscarrige and have been trying for over 4 years now, and my doctor wont give me anything im on the waiting list a year now i wish someone would gave me HCG or clomid something. its so heartbreaking for us looking at everyone around us having there babys, if there was one wish i could have it would be to have a little boy r girl, so please help me as it is emotionally draining thanking you all for listen.
I wanted to know if anyone has been successful with the injections? I tried rounds of clomid and nothing happended by hot flashes and disappointment. Help! Advice needed should I go for the shot? I am 39 years of age.
My husband and I lost a child a few years ago and when we finally decided to try again, I experienced infertility. I tried 3 rounds of chlomid with no success. I did a round of injections with no success. I did a second round of injections and acupuncture. For the woman who was elevating her hips, I used Instead softcups to keep the sperm close to the cervix, you can type it in a search (Instead softcups and pregnancy). We now have a healthy little boy. Good luck to you all.
i am 27 yrs old and on 2nd round of clomid. First round didn't work. I have been trying to have a little one for over a year now. We have tried it all, i mean everything. $4,000 dollar test done at the hospital to see if my tubes were clear and yeah of course they are...tomorrow i start my 2nd round of clomid I may call my doctor and see if i can try the HCG shot. A friend of mine took it on her 3rd round of clomid and got pregnant, so there is hope. When you say it takes a toll on your emotions, your absolutely right. When AF came i was at work and was in tears because its so devastating every month. People who have 3-4 kids DO NOT understand what we feel. good luck to all of "us." something has to work.....right???
I used HCG injections soley for diet purposes without trying to become pregant. I asked the doctor if the chances were high while on HCG, he said due to the low dosage of HCG, the chances of becoming pregnant were very slim. I became pregnant for the first time at age 30 while on HCG for 16 days. Obviously, as you become older, the chances of becoming pregnant reduces significantly so HCG may not work for everyone. I just wanted to share my experience that it is possible to become pregant while on HCG.
I was on the hcg diet and fell pregnant also by taking shots everyday. Prior to this I was trying to get pregnant for 3 years with no luck n becuz I'm 38 decided not to take any further. I had decided to do this miracle diet and low n behold I became pregnant
