Ovulation: Hcg is a benign medication for most women. Ovulation is triggered with its use. There can be rare allergic reactions or burning with injection.

Depends: It depends if HCG is coming from a current pregnancy or as a medication given to help trigger ovulation in IUI cycles or help with oocyte maturation in ivf cycles.
