The problem of an exact timing of the HCG administration in stimulated cycles (for infertility problems) is of primary importance for optimizing the results. In this study the authors show the results obtained in two groups of patients to whom HCG was administered according to two different methods of monitoring: the first biochemical, the second biological. The examination of the results has proven that the insertion of the biological method (cervical mucus) among those used in the monitoring has allowed a significant increase of the biological response to treatment.
