Fertility therapy by injecting the hormone hCG can be the best solution for women who find it difficult to have children. However, you need to know when the right time to inject it so that the chances of pregnancy are higher. See the explanation below.
How fertility therapy works by injecting hCG
The hormone hCG (human chorionic gonadotrophin) is a hormone made by the placenta during pregnancy. Its role is to maintain the level of the hormone progesterone so that the pregnancy runs smoothly until the time of delivery arrives.
When used as a fertility therapy, the hormone hCG helps the ovaries (ovaries) to be able to release eggs optimally during the fertile period. The more and more quality the eggs are released, the more fertile women are.
The hormone will be injected into the upper thigh muscle or buttocks.
When is the best time for injecting hCG?
If you intend to inject hCG, you must know exactly when your fertility period. This is because the best time for injecting hormones is on your fertile day. The hormone hCG works to trigger ovulation aka the release of eggs from the ovary after 36 hours of injection.
To find out when your fertile period and ovulation days are next, you can accessFertility Calculator Hello Sehat or by clicking the following link bit.ly/ovulation.
When is the right time to have sex after injecting hCG?
Since the first day you inject hCG until 2 days after that is the right time to have sex to get pregnant.
This time frame is also right for you to start artificial insemination immediately because your eggs are more mature and optimal. Thus, the chance of pregnancy will be greater.
However, do not immediately test pregnant after injecting hCG
After injecting hCG and continuing with sex, do not be tempted directly to buy test pack the next day with the hope that there will be a line of two - aka positive pregnancy.
Your urine will still contain remaining hCG because this hormone can last for 2 weeks in the body. This makes your pregnancy test show a false positive result. This means that you are not or have not really been pregnant.
So, wait for at least two weeks from the first injection of hCG to check for pregnancy to make sure there are no more hormones that come with the urine. If it is past two weeks and the test results are positive, then chances are that you are really pregnant - no longer the effect of the hormone hCG.
Are there side effects from injecting HCG?
Just like drugs and other medical therapies, injecting hCG also has the risk of side effects that you need to consider. Some of the most common side effects of injecting hCG are weight gain from heavy water (buildup of body fluids), and breast tenderness and swelling.
In addition, injecting hCG may also trigger depression in some women. When you inject hCG into the body, it means you add hormone levels in the body. Unbalanced body hormones can give rise to the effects of emotional turmoil and negative feelings that lead to symptoms of depression.
Injecting hCG also increases your risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS) which causes the ovaries to release more eggs than normal. About 25 percent of women experience this after injecting hCG.
Mild symptoms of OHSS syndrome are diarrhea, abdominal pain and bloating, and vomiting. In severe cases, OHSS syndrome can cause urine discoloration, severe abdominal cramps, and respiratory problems.
All these side effects of fertility therapy will generally subside once the body begins to adapt to hormonal changes. But if your complaint continues and does not improve, or even gets worse, immediately consult your doctor for further treatment.
