What does HMG do?
HMG provides two natural reproductive hormones, FSH and LH, together in one preparation, to support follicle development, ovulation, or sperm production, depending on the patient’s specific treatment goals.
Is HMG FDA-approved?
Yes. HMG carries FDA approval for fertility treatment, including ovulation induction and assisted reproductive technology protocols.
How long before I may notice changes?
In fertility treatment, HMG is typically used within a structured treatment cycle, and your provider will monitor your response through lab work and other testing throughout that cycle.
Is it an injection?
Yes, HMG is typically administered as an injection according to a specific protocol determined by your fertility provider.
Can it be combined with other peptides or medications?
Yes, HMG is often used alongside other fertility medications, such as HCG, as part of a coordinated treatment protocol. This should always be guided by your provider.
Can it be combined with GLP-1 medications?
This should be discussed individually with your provider, particularly in the context of a fertility treatment plan, where careful coordination matters.
Will I need lab work?
Yes. Lab work and, in many cases, monitoring such as ultrasound are essential parts of using HMG safely and effectively during a treatment cycle.
Who should avoid this peptide?
Patients with certain hormone-sensitive conditions or specific ovarian or pituitary conditions may not be appropriate candidates. A full medical evaluation will help determine this.
How long do patients typically remain on therapy?
HMG is typically used within a defined treatment cycle rather than as an ongoing, indefinite therapy, and your provider will outline the specific timeline for your situation.
Is a consultation required?
Yes. A telehealth consultation with a licensed medical provider is required before starting HMG or any peptide therapy at SevenHealth.
