Everyone seems to have read this:
"Remember I mentioned that LH, FSH and TSH has the same alpha sub-unit? So, by using Ovidrel, you will have a "TRIPPLE" effect. Firstly, your LH effect will increase testosterone production, secondly the FSH effect will have testicular tissue enhancement and Sertoli cell stimulation leading to higher sperm production, and thirdly the TSH effect producing more T4 to convert to T3. Pregnyl consists basically of the Beta sub-unit. That's why we test B-HCG in urine for OTC pregnancy tests. So, Pregnyl only has a LH effect"
...and got all excited about Ovidrel.
Part of that is not all true. Pregnyl's beta sub unit has nothing to do with it's LH mimicking effect. Pregnyl and Ovidrel's beta sub units both differ to those of LH, FSH and TSH.
Pregynl ALSO has an alpha sub unit identical to LH, FSH, and TSH just like Ovidrel. Pregnyl does not consist of "basically the beta sub-unit."
I have posted links a few times before. From the 'National Library of Medicine' on Pregnyl: "
Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG), a polypeptide hormone produced by the human placenta, is composed of an alpha and a beta sub-unit. The alpha sub-unit is essentially identical to the alpha sub-units of the human pituitary gonadotropins, luteinizing hormone (LH) and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), as well as to the alpha sub-unit of human thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH). The beta sub-units of these hormones differ in amino acid sequence."
