A member asked:
Can adding hcg shots while taking femara (letrozole) for infertility improve the chances of conceiving?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sometimes: A properly-timed HCG shot can be used as a 'trigger' for ovulation. Women who develop a dominant follicle with Femara (letrozole) but don't ovulate appropriately (or at all) can be triggered with hcg.
