Abstract
Although the incidence of failed hCG injection is rare, this study reveals that cycles characterized by incorrect initial administration or failed absorption of hCG can be salvaged by early detection and repeat injection. Assisted reproductive technology (ART) programs may benefit their patients through the assessment of either urine pregnancy tests or measurement of quantitative serum β-hCG levels before retrieval, thereby preventing empty follicle syndrome.
