HMG Profile

Extensively Studied FDA Approved

Human Menopausal Gonadotropin | FSH/LH Fertility Hormone

Overview

Human Menopausal Gonadotropin (HMG) is a hormonally active medication containing follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH) in a 1:1 ratio, extracted from the urine of postmenopausal women. FDA-approved for fertility treatment, HMG stimulates ovarian follicle development in women and spermatogenesis in men. While largely replaced by recombinant gonadotropins in some settings, HMG remains an effective and cost-efficient option for ovulation induction and assisted reproduction.

Mechanism of Action

HMG acts on gonadal tissue through two mechanisms: FSH stimulates growth and maturation of ovarian follicles containing eggs in women, and promotes spermatogenesis in men. LH stimulates ovulation and corpus luteum formation in women, and Leydig cells in men to produce testosterone. Highly purified HMG (HP-hMG) has enhanced FSH receptor activity with reduced inactive proteins. The LH component modifies follicular development and decreases intermediate-sized follicles, potentially resulting in safer, more controlled stimulation.

Key Benefits

  • FDA-approved for fertility treatment
  • Stimulates ovarian follicle development
  • Contains both FSH and LH naturally
  • Promotes spermatogenesis in men
  • Cost-effective alternative to recombinant FSH
  • LH activity may improve fertilization rates
  • Long clinical track record
  • Lower OHSS incidence with HP-hMG

Research Indications

The following information is derived from published scientific literature and is provided for educational and research reference purposes only. It does not constitute medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment recommendations. These peptides are not approved for human use and are sold exclusively for in-vitro laboratory research.

Ovulation Induction

Most Effective

Stimulates follicular development in anovulatory women.

IVF Stimulation

Most Effective

Used in IVF protocols to stimulate multiple follicle development.

PCOS Ovulation

Effective

Effective for inducing ovulation in polycystic ovary syndrome patients.

Spermatogenesis

Effective

FSH promotes sperm production; LH stimulates testosterone for sperm development.

Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism

Effective

Treats male infertility due to insufficient gonadotropin production.

LH Replacement

Moderate

LH component stimulates testicular testosterone production.

Dosing Protocols

injectable

HMG is administered via intramuscular or subcutaneous injection. Treatment typically starts on day 2-3 of the menstrual cycle and continues for 7-12 days with monitoring. Dosing is individualized based on follicular response monitored by ultrasound and estradiol levels.

Goal Dose Frequency Route
Ovulation induction 75-150 IU Daily IM or SubQ
IVF stimulation 150-300 IU Daily for 7-12 days IM or SubQ
Male fertility 75-150 IU 2-3x weekly IM or SubQ

Key Tips

  • Established clinical protocols
  • Flexible dosing
  • Can combine with other fertility medications
Materials Needed
Lyophilized powder vial Sterile diluent (provided) Syringes Alcohol swabs
Steps
  1. 1 Add provided diluent to powder vial
  2. 2 Gently swirl until dissolved
  3. 3 Draw prescribed dose into syringe
  4. 4 Inject intramuscularly or subcutaneously
  5. 5 Use immediately after reconstitution

Peptide Interactions

hCG

Synergistic

hCG is typically used to trigger ovulation after HMG-induced follicular development.

GnRH agonists

Sequential

Often used in combination protocols for IVF to prevent premature LH surge.

Clomiphene

Sequential

May be used in sequential protocols for ovulation induction.

Gonadorelin

Compatible

Different mechanisms; may be used in different fertility protocols.

What to Expect

Days 1-3

Follicular recruitment begins

Days 4-7

Follicular growth continues; monitoring required

Days 8-12

Follicles reach mature size; trigger ovulation

Post-trigger

Ovulation occurs ~36 hours after hCG trigger
