found this snippet out of an unreferenced spot:
Pharmacokinetics: Similar to other polypeptides, gonadotropins are almost completely degraded in the gastrointestinal tract; therefore, IM administration is required. Human chorionic gonadotropin primarily distributes into the testes and the ovaries. Serum concentrations of HCG are detectable after 2 hours. Peak concentrations are attained within 6 hours and persist for roughly 36 hours. The metabolic fate of HCG has not been elucidated. The terminal half-life is approximately 23 hours. After a single IM injection, approximately 10-12% of the dose is excreted unchanged in the urine within 24 hours and can be detected for up to 3-4 days.
