Have PCOS Problem. Taking Infertility Treatment For Getting Pregnant. Follicular Study Done. Can Take HCG Injection?

hi,
I am having PCOS for the last 2 years. I am getting a infertility treatment for getting pregnant.
My LMP was on 30th October,2013. I had a folicular study on day 14 and the follicle size was observed as
Left ovary follicles:21*17 mm
Right ovary follicles: 26*21 mm
I was advised to take HCG Injection once the follcile size goes above 16 mm. Can still take the injection. Or is this follicles to large that it will turn to cysts and not result in ovulation.

thanks for your question to healthcare magic.
generally ovulation will take place at a size of 20 mm of the egg.
hcg is actually indicated for inducing ovulation.
in ur case there is a high chance of getting a luteal cyst..
but taking a hcg wont be of any harm.
my advice is get a repeat follicular study scan done and see the size whether increasing and to look for a cyst.
