Provoking ovulation
Posted: 07-08-08 08:34am

What is causing irregular ovulation? Also I am a little paranoid with hormone injections. Has the doctor prescribed me the right medication? What are possible side effects of HCG? If I don't conceive this month, Do I have to repeat the same medication for the next cycle?

According to the description of your therapy, your doctor is trying to provoke ovulation. Lack of ovulation is due to a disturbance in the axis hypothalamus-pituitary-ovaries.


Possible side effects of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) are pain at the injection site, as well as headache, irritability, restlessness, depression, fatigue, and swelling due to retention of fluid.


If you fail to conceive during this cycle you can repeat the procedure in the following 5 cycles.
