Hi,

HCG injections are given in pics to stimulate ovulation (absent ovulation is basic defect of PCOD). The average dose is 5000 IU to 10 000 IU intramuscularlly around mid menstruation. Your doctor must have calculated the low dose for your personal need.

The over dose would at the most stimulate multiple ova matured & ruptured which may cause excessive bleeding in your periods. Please consult your doctor it it happens & be careful to follow prescribed dose of medicine in the future.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks.

Regards,
