Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) injection is a vital medicine in the field of reproductive health and fertility treatments. At FertilesurePharma, we provide high-quality fertility medicines including our flagship product CHORIO‑SURE HP AQ, an HCG injection with 5000 IU strength designed specifically to support ovulation and fertility in both women and men.
In this article, we will explore what HCG injection is, how it works to support fertility, when it is prescribed, dosage recommendations, side effects, and how you can access our reliable HCG formulations in India.
What is HCG Injection?
HCG, or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin, is a hormone naturally produced during pregnancy. It is structurally similar to the luteinizing hormone (LH), which is critical for ovulation in women and testosterone production in men.
The HCG injection mimics the action of LH, helping to trigger ovulation by stimulating the ovaries to release a mature egg. This makes HCG injections an essential part of fertility treatments such as IVF (In Vitro Fertilization) and IUI (Intrauterine Insemination).
At FertilesurePharma, our CHORIO‑SURE HP AQ is a sterile HCG injection formulated for consistent potency and safety, available in 5000 IU dosage—a commonly prescribed strength for ovulation induction.
How Does HCG Injection Support Fertility?
1. Triggers Ovulation
The primary use of HCG injection in fertility treatments is to trigger ovulation. Normally, the body releases LH to induce ovulation. However, in some cases of infertility or hormonal imbalance, this LH surge may be absent or insufficient.
Administering an HCG injection acts as a substitute for the natural LH surge, signaling the ovaries to release mature eggs, increasing the chance of fertilization.
2. Supports Corpus Luteum and Progesterone Production
After ovulation, the ruptured follicle transforms into the corpus luteum, which secretes progesterone to maintain the uterine lining and support early pregnancy. HCG supports the corpus luteum, ensuring adequate progesterone levels.
This hormonal support helps reduce the risk of early miscarriage and improves implantation success, especially during IVF cycles.
3. Enhances Male Fertility (Brief Overview)
Though less commonly discussed, HCG injections are sometimes used in men to stimulate testosterone production by acting on the testes. This can improve sperm count and quality in certain cases of male infertility.
When is HCG Injection Prescribed?
HCG injections are prescribed under various fertility treatment protocols:
- In IVF and IUI cycles: To precisely time ovulation for egg retrieval or insemination.
- For women with anovulation: When natural ovulation is irregular or absent.
- In combination with other fertility drugs: Such as Letrozole, Clomiphene citrate, or Menotropin (HMG), to improve outcomes.
- In male infertility treatment: To stimulate testosterone production when indicated.
Our product CHORIO-SURE HP 10000IU is widely used in fertility clinics across India due to its proven efficacy and safety.

FAQs
1. What is the difference between natural LH and HCG injection?
Natural LH is secreted by the pituitary gland and triggers ovulation. HCG injection mimics LH’s effect but lasts longer in the body, providing a sustained signal to trigger egg release.
2. Can HCG injection be used in men?
Yes, in some male infertility cases, HCG stimulates testosterone production and can improve sperm quality, but this should be under specialist care.
3. How long after HCG injection does ovulation occur?
Ovulation typically occurs 36 to 48 hours after the injection, which is why timing of intercourse or insemination is crucial.
4. Are there any side effects I should be worried about?
Most side effects are mild, such as injection site pain or headaches. However, if you experience severe abdominal pain or swelling, contact your doctor immediately as it may indicate OHSS.
5. How should CHORIO‑SURE HP AQ be stored?
Store refrigerated between 2°C and 8°C, away from light, and do not freeze. Always check expiration dates before use.
6. Can I buy HCG injection online?
You can purchase HCG injection through licensed pharmacies or authorized distributors. For clinics, contact FertilesurePharma directly for wholesale inquiries.
