Human menopausal gonadotropin (HMG) is a fertility treatment derived from postmenopausal urine used to stimulate ovarian follicle development. It contains both FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone), offering a balanced hormonal effect. Unlike synthetic FSH, which only contains follicle-stimulating properties, HMG's dual composition supports broader reproductive functions. Natural origin and structure may impact fertility outcomes, leading to effective stimulation in various protocols. Research shows comparable success rates between HMG and synthetic FSH, though synthetic forms may yield a higher egg count and still HMG remains a trusted choice in assisted reproduction.
