One cause that can often contribute to difficulty getting pregnant is irregularity with regard to ovulation. Ovulation problems that result in female infertility can occur due to hormonal imbalances, ovarian irregularities as well as a variety of health complications. Fertility drugs, including human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) can help minimize such fertility problems.
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone that assists in the regulation of the corpus luteum, a follicle that produces both estrogen and progesterone in order to maintain the first term of pregnancy.
When hCG injected, it mimics another hormone, known as lutenising hormone (LH), which results in the rupture of the follicles and the subsequent release of eggs. As such, a higher than average number of eggs are released, increasing a couple’s chances of getting pregnant.
Human chorionic gonadtropin is most beneficial to women who are experiencing ovulation abnormalities, including anovulation, irregular menstruation and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).
