Placental glycoprotein hormone that mimics LH activity; used for ovulation induction in women, testosterone restoration in men with hypogonadism, and historically for cryptorchidism. In the Peppy catalog, Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is reconstituted from a vial and drawn up in units on an insulin syringe, dosed in units, typically every other day, with a listed half-life of about 33 hours.

## Frequently asked

### How many units is 250 mg of Human Chorionic Gonadotropin?

It depends on how the vial was mixed. Example: a 1000 mg vial plus 5 mL of bacteriostatic water is 200 mg/mL, so 250 mg is 1.25 mL, or **125 units** on a U-100 insulin syringe. Change the water and the units change. Use the calculator above with your own vial, and verify with your prescriber.

### How long does Human Chorionic Gonadotropin stay in your system?

The Peppy catalog lists a half-life of about 33 hours for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. After roughly five half-lives, about 6.9 days, most of a single dose has cleared. That is an estimate from the half-life, not a measurement, and individual clearance varies.

### Can I track Human Chorionic Gonadotropin in Peppy?

Yes. Human Chorionic Gonadotropin is one of 123 compounds built into Peppy, with its form, unit and typical frequency prefilled. Add it as a protocol, set your schedule, and Peppy handles the countdown, the log and the reminders (Pro).

### Where should I inject Human Chorionic Gonadotropin?

Follow your prescriber's instructions. For subcutaneous shots the GLP-1 labels list the abdomen, thigh and upper arm and say to rotate. Peppy's body map has 13 sites, suggests the next one, and shows when each was last used. Read the [site rotation guide](https://peppytracker.com/guides/injection-site-rotation/).
