Doctor :   Corion is human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) which is an enzyme and is used for a variety of indications. HCG is used in the injectable form as well as in the gel form to enhance ovulation and chances of conception. If the doctor you consulted has advised to continue with injections of HCG, it is likely that the underlying problem could be related to inadequate secretion of the hormones required to continue pregnancy
