What is Humog Injection?

Humog is a fertility medication used as part of ovarian stimulation treatment. It contains a combination of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinising hormone (LH), which work together to stimulate the ovaries.

We use Humog as part of carefully planned fertility protocols and personalised fertility treatment to support the development and maturation of eggs during a treatment cycle. It is commonly prescribed in treatments such as IVF and ovulation induction to help the ovaries respond in a controlled and optimal way.

 

Why is Humog Used in Fertility Treatment?

We prescribe Humog to help:

  • stimulate the growth of ovarian follicles
  • support the maturation of eggs
  • improve hormonal response during stimulation
  • work in combination with other fertility medications for better treatment outcomes

Its role is important in helping the ovaries respond in a controlled and predictable way during treatment.

 

Why is Correct Injection Technique Important?

Correct administration of Humog ensures that your treatment progresses safely and effectively. Proper technique helps to:

  • ensure the medication is absorbed correctly
  • maintain consistent hormone levels
  • reduce the risk of dosing errors
  • support better ovarian response during stimulation

We always encourage patients to follow the video guide closely and ask for clarification whenever needed.

What Should You Do if You Inject Incorrectly or Miss a Dose?

If you make a mistake or miss your injection timing, do not panic.

We understand that this can happen, especially when you are managing treatment at home.

  • Do not double your dose
  • Do not adjust your medication on your own
  • Contact our care team immediately for guidance

Body Mass Index calculator

Being overweight or underweight can reduce fertility, so it is important to keep your body weight within the normal healthy range.

Body Mass Index (BMI) is an indication of your body weight and can be calculated by dividing weight by height. You should aim for a BMI of between 20 and 25, as this will optimise your chances of conception.

Woman’s BMI below 19

Even in these modern times, nature knows best. If a woman's BMI falls below 19, the body senses famine and ovulation is switched off to prevent the risk of having a baby with malnutrition. Excessive exercise can reduce body fat and increase muscle mass to a point where periods cease for the same reason. Risk of miscarriage is also increased in women with a low BMI.

Being underweight

If a woman's BMI falls below 19, the body senses famine and ovulation is switched off to prevent the risk of having a baby with malnutrition. Excessive exercise can reduce body fat and increase muscle mass to a point where periods cease for the same reason. Risk of miscarriage is also increased in women with a low BMI.

BMI’s greater than 30

This can reduce fertility by 50%. Pregnancy for women with a 30+ BMI is often associated with problems such as maternal diabetes, high blood pressure, big babies and increased risk of caesarean section.
