After an hCG injection, the next steps involve timed intercourse or intrauterine insemination (IUI).
According to the reference, when an optimal response to treatment (like Menopur) is achieved, a single injection of 5000 IU to 10000 IU hCG is administered one day after the last Menopur injection. Following the hCG injection, the following is recommended:
- Timed Intercourse: The patient is advised to have sexual intercourse on the day of the hCG injection and the day after.
- Intrauterine Insemination (IUI): Alternatively, IUI may be performed.
In summary, the actions taken after an hCG injection are focused on maximizing the chances of fertilization through either timed intercourse or IUI.
