Can You Get Pregnant Quickly with HCG Injection?
Dr. Neelu Prasad – IVF Specialist, Aastha IVF, Patna
Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) injection is commonly used in fertility treatments to trigger ovulation—a crucial step in helping women conceive, especially during IUI (Intrauterine Insemination) or IVF (In-Vitro Fertilization) cycles.
👉 So, can HCG injection help you get pregnant faster?
Yes, but with certain conditions:
✅ How HCG Injection Helps:
- Mimics LH Surge: HCG works like the body’s natural Luteinizing Hormone (LH), which triggers the release of a mature egg from the ovary.
- Timing of Intercourse/IUI: Once the egg is released (usually 36–40 hours after HCG shot), timed intercourse or IUI can significantly improve chances of conception.
- Supports IVF Process: In IVF, HCG is used to trigger final egg maturation before egg retrieval.
❌ However, HCG Alone Is Not Enough:
- If there are other fertility issues (blocked tubes, poor sperm quality, PCOS, etc.), HCG alone won’t help.
- Proper monitoring through ultrasound and hormonal tests is required.
💡 Dr. Neelu Prasad’s Expert Tip:
“HCG injection is not a magic shot for pregnancy. It must be given at the right time in a properly monitored cycle. When combined with fertility treatments, it greatly enhances success chances.”
