Since Pregnyl is no longer available in a lot of places I have had to switch to a different form of hCG injection.
The Ovitrelle pen is designed for female use and at 6,500 IU it is normally too high a dose for single use for males. The dose can be adjusted via the dial “clicks” to get the required dose.
The dose will be set by a health care professional depending on the testosterone level response.
hCG = human chorionic gonadotropin.
hCG is a natural hormone that mimics the activity of luteinising hormone (LH) which normally makes the testicles produce natural testosterone. LH is one of the two pituitary derived hormones that is missing in Kallmann syndrome / CHH patients.
