Multiple pregnancy is more likely with HCG injection. it can also cause overstimulation of follicles which can be painful. Rarely electrolyte disturbances ,distension of abdomen due to fluid collection, pulmonary oedema,clotting of blood in side the veins etc. may develop. These complications can be prevented by using lowest effective HCG dose. and ultrasound monitcring of follicular growth
