Which place HCG injection is given?
This medicine is either injected in a muscle, like the thigh or buttocks, or it may be given under the skin instead. Ask your doctor which way is right for you. You will be taught how to prepare and give this medicine.
Can you take HCG intramuscular?
Generally, hCG injections are given intramuscularly, and are directed toward the buttock or the deltoid muscles. However, in obese patients the needle may not be long enough to reach the muscle layer, especially when the subcutaneous fat is thick, and consequently the intended i.m. injection becomes a s.c. injection.
What time of day should I inject HCG?
Take your injections as you’ve been directed in the morning of the first day of the loading phase. This allows for the HCG to get into your system by the time the loading phase is over and the low calorie diet phase begins.
Can HCG shot cause twins?
HCG can cause early puberty in young boys. Call your doctor if a boy using this medicine shows early signs of puberty, such as a deepened voice, pubic hair growth, and increased acne or sweating. Using this medicine can increase your chances of having a multiple pregnancy (twins, triplets, quadruplets, etc).
What happens if you inject hCG into muscle?
A boost of hCG can stimulate production of testosterone, which can increase sperm production — and therefore, in cases where sperm count may be low, fertility. Most men receive a dosage of 1,000 to 4,000 units of hCG injected into a muscle two to three times a week for several weeks or months.
Is hCG injection painful?
HCG’s usually injected subcutaneously, into the layer of fat just under the skin and above your muscles. This is good news — fat is your friend and tends to make the injection fairly painless. To do this, your doctor or pharmacist will typically give you a short 30-gauge needle.
Is it better to inject HCG in muscle or fat?
For some people, it’s necessary to inject hCG directly into the body’s muscles with a thicker 22.5-gauge needle. This leads to a quicker rate of absorption. Injecting directly into muscle is usually more painful than injecting into the subcutaneous layer of fat below the skin.
