HCG – Human Chorionic Gonadotropin – Pregnyl

This non-steroidal medication is increasingly popular among athletes. HCG is a natural protein hormone released by the human placenta, derived from the urine of pregnant women.
This hormone, while not a male hormone, closely resembles LH (Luteinizing Hormone) and stimulates testosterone production in males. Thus, HCG enhances testosterone levels via its action on the Leydig cells in the testes. Although typically prescribed for women with specific ovarian disorders and for men with hypogonadism, athletes utilize HCG to restore testosterone levels depressed by prolonged steroid use. High doses of steroids may signal the hypothalamus improperly, leading to reduced testicular responsiveness and eventual atrophy; HCG helps maintain stimulation of the testes to prevent this atrophy.
Upon administration, HCG boosts serum testosterone swiftly, peaking within two hours, with a secondary rise in two to four days. This therapy effectively prevents testicular atrophy while naturally enhancing testosterone levels during training. Some steroid users report notable strength and size increases when combining HCG with steroids, potentially due to the concurrent high levels of natural and artificial androgens. While optimal dosing remains unclear, many suggest 1000 to 2000 IU weekly, with cycles limited to three weeks followed by at least a one-month break.
For example, HCG may be employed for two to three weeks mid-cycle and again for two to three weeks at cycle completion. Prolonged use of HCG could potentially suppress the body’s gonadotropin production permanently; hence, short cycles are recommended. Potential side effects include gynecomastia, fluid retention, heightened libido, mood swings, headaches, and increased blood pressure. HCG can elevate androgen levels in males by up to 400% and also significantly raise estrogen, increasing the risk of gynecomastia at excessive dosages. Another possible side effect is morning sickness.
No overdose incidents or linked carcinomas, liver, or renal issues have been reported with HCG. Although initially considered for carrying the AIDS virus, recent findings confirm this is not possible. Thus, athletes may use HCG to mitigate complications from abruptly ending a steroid cycle.
This product is undetectable in steroid tests, prompting athletes to use it for maintaining elevated androgen levels pre-competition. Following preparation, HCG requires refrigeration and is effective for about 10 weeks post-mixing, administered exclusively via intramuscular injection, often available through a physician’s prescription for individuals showing hypogonadism symptoms. It is not easily found on the black market.

Pregnyl for Pregnancy:

Pregnyl, known as human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), is a purified formula sourced from the urine of pregnant women. Administered intramuscularly, it induces ovulation by mimicking the natural mid-cycle LH surge. For the best chance of conception, daily intercourse is recommended for 48 hours after the LH surge.
Your physician will guide the timing of intercourse or may opt for artificial insemination to optimize pregnancy chances.

How Are Humegon and Pregnyl Given?

Humegon is delivered via intramuscular injection, typically in the buttock, as oral consumption is ineffective due to protein digestion in the stomach.
Usually initiated within the first five days of the menstrual cycle, Humegon injections are continued daily for 7 to 12 days, though dosage and scheduling can vary based on individual treatment responses.
Pregnyl (chorionic gonadotropin for injection, USP) is also given intramuscularly, contingent upon the physician’s assessment of stimulation criteria. In cases of excessive response, the injection may be temporarily withheld.

Length of Treatment

If conception does not occur, Humegon and Pregnyl may be re-administered in the next menstrual cycle, but treatment sessions are not guaranteed to be consecutive, as therapy is tailored for each patient.
Therapy may extend up to six cycles, after which alternative options may be considered.

Is It Working?

Successful ovulation stimulates progesterone production by the ovary, measurable via a blood test approximately seven days post-ovulation.
If not pregnant, expect your menstrual period about 14 days after hCG injection. Absence of menstruation can prompt a pregnancy blood test, followed by an ultrasound for monitoring pregnancy progress.

Careful Monitoring Is Important

Regular monitoring is crucial for effective treatment and minimizing side effects, involving two integrated methods.
The first includes daily blood tests measuring estrogen levels, as developing follicles release increased estrogen. Higher estrogen levels indicate better ovarian response to Humegon (menotropins for injection).
The second method employs ultrasound technology, producing images of the ovaries. This procedure accurately shows the quantity and size of follicles, aiding in predicting ovulation timing. Adhering to all tests and ultrasounds is vital, as results may necessitate treatment adjustments during the cycle.

Side Effects/Other Concerns Associated with Treatment

Humegon and Pregnyl (chorionic gonadotropin for injection, USP) can have both minor and severe side effects and other associated risks. Discuss potential side effects and concerns with your doctor prior to starting treatment.
Mild swelling, irritation, or pain at the injection site is possible with Humegon (menotropins for injection, USP). Other possible adverse effects include headaches, abdominal discomfort, and moderate ovarian swelling. Report any symptoms to your doctor for necessary treatment adjustments. Pregnyl injections may also lead to discomfort at the injection site, along with headaches, irritability, restlessness, depression, fatigue, and fluid retention.
A significant concern with fertility medications like Humegon is the possibility of multiple pregnancies. Typically, around 80% of pregnancies from fertility treatments with Humegon and Pregnyl result in single births, though twins are common. Multiple births with three or more babies are also possible. Your physician will discuss the risk of multiple pregnancies before treatment initiation.
Consult with your physician regarding side effects and any concerns about your treatment before commencing therapy.

How Effective Is Humegon (Menotropins for Injection, USP)?

Humegon effectively induces ovulation in women who experience irregular cycles or do not ovulate. However, effectiveness rates vary based on the cause of infertility, including factors like tubal patency, semen quality, and age. If conception does not occur during Humegon treatment, your doctor will evaluate alternative options.

Išvada

Many healthy infants now enter the world thanks to fertility treatments like Humegon and Pregnyl (chorionic gonadotropin for injection, USP). Your doctor is available to answer any questions regarding these medications.
