Trigger shot
Hi everyone, I was given the hcg trigger shot, 10000 MIU. I'm extremely tired today and haven't done anything out of the norm. Could this be an early pregnancy symptom or could it be from the shot? Also, how long until the shot was out of your system. My nurse told me up to 12 days but everyone is different. This wait is killing me.

Hi Brittanie,
I also had the trigger shot, 10,000 IU on Oct 13 but at 10 pm. It is normal to feel tired and have cramps after the HCG shot. My guess is for both of us ovulation happened on Thursday, Oct 15. This will put us at 3 dpo today, Sunday. Implantation itself does not happen earlier than 6 dpo and after that the HCG (from a beginning pregnancy) first has to rise before you can experience true pregnancy symptoms. I always get a progesterone blood test one week after ovulation (7dpo). At that time my dr checks for HCG too. In my case the HCG from the trigger shot is always gone by that time. Now this may be different for you, it all depends on how quickly your body metabolizes the trigger shot. It's definitely safe to wait at least until 10 dpo before doing a pregnancy test. Best wishes and good luck!

Hopefully you girls are still here, I took a hpt this morning. It was positive and I know it's still the shot because I have been testing it out of my system. I was actually hoping for a negative but the line is getting lighter. Have either of you tested it out of your system so when you get a positive test you know it's real? As long as I use fmu could the line disappear and come back with a false positive? Am I literally wasting my time and stressing about it when it won't do me any good to test it out? I appreciate your help, this is the first response i have had on my topics on this site.

Hi Brittanie, I have never tested out my trigger shot. I just don't like extra stress. I wait until I see my dr for a pregnancy blood test two weeks after ovulation so I can discontinue progesterone injections if test comes back negative. Keep us updated on your trigger shot testing!

Hi ladies wondering if I'm going crazy had a 25 mcg trigger Nov 3 and have been testing it out of my system yesterday morning I could barely see a line my DH even laughed at me this morning I took a frer and I can still see a line faintly but darker than yesterday. Could this still be thr trigger or could it be a actual positive. I'm going crazy at this point.
