Taking an HCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) injection can help improve the chances of pregnancy, especially in women undergoing fertility treatments — but it doesn’t guarantee or instantly cause pregnancy.
Here’s how it works:
✅ In Women:
HCG is used to trigger ovulation. Normally, a mature egg needs to be released from the ovary (ovulation) to meet the sperm for fertilization. HCG mimics the body’s natural LH surge, helping the egg to:
- Mature properly
- Be released from the ovary (ovulate), typically within 36–40 hours
So, timed intercourse or IUI (intrauterine insemination) is planned shortly after the HCG shot.
✅ In Men:
HCG can help increase testosterone production and sperm count, especially in men with hypogonadism.
Important Points:
- HCG helps create the right conditions for pregnancy — but actual pregnancy depends on multiple factors like egg quality, sperm health, fallopian tube patency, and uterine lining.
- It’s often part of a larger fertility treatment plan, like ovulation induction or IVF.
- It’s not a “magic shot” for pregnancy — it simply improves timing and ovulation predictability.
Summary:
🔹 HCG injection can help you get pregnant faster if you’re having ovulation issues, but only when used appropriately and under medical supervision.
🔹 Always consult a fertility specialist (like Dr. Neelu Prasad) to assess whether HCG is right for you.
