An educational ovulation-induction stack — gonadotropins (hMG + hCG) as used in assisted-reproduction protocols.
Ovulation-induction protocols use gonadotropins: hMG provides FSH/LH activity to stimulate follicle development, and an hCG 'trigger' induces final maturation and ovulation. This stack outlines that mechanism for educational understanding.
This is firmly clinical territory — gonadotropin protocols are monitored with ultrasound and bloodwork by fertility specialists, and the doses and timing are individualised. Nothing here is a protocol to self-administer.
| Compound | Role | Dose | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| HMG FSH/LH activity; follicle development. | Primary | 75-150 IU for ovulation induction; 150-300 IU for IVF | Daily during stimulation phase (7-12 days) |
| HCG Trigger for final maturation/ovulation. | Support | 250-1500 IU (lower for TRT adjunct, higher for fertility) | 2-3 times weekly, or every other day for lower doses |
