welcome to healthcaremagic
you need to tell the indications of taking the hcg injections in your case
this is human chorionic gonadotrophin injections mostly used in yretment of infertility/early pregnancy disturbances and some times in male with undescended testes hypogonadism etc as decided by the treating doctors
it will be better to consult your doctor and follow advice
