Hello,
Because hCG is similar in structure to LH, an injection of hCG when there is a mature egg follicle in the ovary can cause the egg to mature and be released. The medication can be used alone, in an ovulation induction cycle as with intrauterine insemination or during in vitro fertilization.
 HCG  will cause ovulation approximately 36 hours after you take it, allowing your doctor to better time intrauterine insemination or the egg retrieval or timing an intercourse.
Next 2 days are very critical after taking injection HCG.
Thanks
