Doubt it: I guess it's not impossible, but i really doubt it. Hcg administered random;y is more likely to prevent pregnancy than help it, and they certainly weren't monitoring for ovulation at a weight-loss clinic.

Not likely: It was likely from the weight loss. Sometimes it takes as little as 20 pound weight loss to make a woman fertile, this is secondary to the estrogen and Progesterone balance.
