Have you ever heard of injectable inducers and HCG to help with getting pregnant? Those who have difficulties conceiving usually undergo treatment with ovulation induction medications such as Clomiphene. But there are women who do not respond as well to treatment with these drugs, perhaps because they are weaker or because they are oral medications—there are many reasons. HCG are medications and methods to get pregnant that are more commonly used in in vitro fertilization treatments because in addition to being, I mean much more expensive, they are injectable and usually require a prescription. But what are they for?

Menotropin (LH 75 IU + FSH 75 IU)

It is nothing more than the follicle-stimulating hormone, LH, which promotes the stimulation of several follicles simultaneously, making it much stronger than Clomid. That’s why it should be administered by a doctor with great caution to avoid damaging the ovaries and making future spontaneous ovulation even more difficult. The cost is around R$ 100.00. The medication is administered as follows:

HCG to Get Pregnant

In the end, both do the same job—they are medications derived from HCG, the pregnancy hormone. Its function is to ensure that the eggs that have been stimulated to grow with the ovulation inducer are released by rupturing the follicle in the ovary. That is why there are campaigns for pregnant women to donate urine so that laboratories can manufacture this medication, which is important in the ovulation process, because what would be the point of stimulating eggs if they aren’t released? It costs around R$ 295.00 for 1 ampoule.

Ultimately, these are medications and methods to get pregnant that go hand in hand and both yield many good results. For those undergoing IVF, it is necessary to collect the eggs, but for those using it in combination with Clomiphene, it is a supplement. Remember, girls, talk to your gynecologist before using it. Do not use this method for getting pregnant without their knowledge because it can be harmful, especially to such an important organ as the ovaries for those trying to conceive. I hope you’ve enjoyed this! See you next time.
