Question 1

after hcg shot i had sex the night before and the day of ovulation what are my chances that it worked?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say: Sperm lives for up to 7 days and it takes a while to travel into the tubes.  The ovum last 12-24 hours so need to have the sperm waiting on the egg.  Sex on the day u ovulate not likely to help b/c of sperm transit time, intercourse before may have done it.  It can be hard to give u a probability.  But u may wanna have sex prior to the shot; there is some evidence that Mucinex (guaifenesin) may thin cvx mucus.

Question 2

11 days post ovulation with hcg shot!! think i've started but it's brown! why?

Accepted Answer

Brown blood: Brown blood signifies older blood.  Could be that some bleeding started early but did not come out until a day or two later.

Question 3

hi doctor, does hcg shot delay the actual ovulation.say if im about to ovulate in another 8hrs.if i take the shot,does ovulation switch to 24-36 hrs?

Accepted Answer

Studies of women who: ...had recent miscarriages have found that they can ovulate &amp; conceive during their next cycle even if they still have (+) blood tests for HCG.  This suggests that HCG does NOT interfere with spontaneous ovulation.  However, without knowing more about you, I can't advise you on the timing of sexual intercourse or IUI.  It's a good question! Please ask your fertility specialist.  Dr. Anne.

Question 4

hi doctor,
does hcg shot delay the actual ovulation.say if im about to ovulate in another 8hrs.if i take the shot,does ovulation switch to 24-36 hrs window?

Accepted Answer

No the hcg shot will: not surpass your own body's LH surge / ovulation.

Question 5

i am ttc and did hcg shot 11th and ovulated a few hours after that! now it's 8 days later and boobs hurt and still cramping . could i b pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Yes of course you could be pregnant. Have you tried a home pregnancy test yet? You haven't had any bleeding so that's a good sign. A little bit of cramping can sometimes be normal.  Good luck!

Question 6

Accepted Answer

Infertility Doctor: I do hope you are working with an infertility doctor.  They can best advise you for your personal situation.

i think i was triggered too late during my last iui, i had the hcg shot taken at about 24mm to 25mm and iui done 38 hours after, that round failed and im going in for another round but im trying to know if im overthinking the situation?

Accepted Answer

: If you have trust in your treating team stay with them and don't 'overthink'. Write down all the questions or concerns you have and take it to them and have them all answered. this way you will not worry. Wish you good luck at the next round.

Question 8

how much can a 5000 hcg shot delay cycle? i have 28 day cycles. i had the trigger shot on d13 it is now d32 &hcg blood draw is negative. do anything?

Accepted Answer

Ovulation: I assume that you are needing this fertility medications because you do not ovulate consistently. If you are not ovulating then one does not expect to have regular predictable menstrual cycles therefore it is not possible to predict when the next cycle will come. The next step is to contact the fertility specialist and begin planning the next treatment cycle.

Question 9

i have irregular periods i had undergone folicular study during my 11th day my egg grew and doctor gave hcg 10000 units trigger shot .on my day 14th my egg got ruptured.on my day 18th after hcg shot i tested upt it is positive.when to test again?

Accepted Answer

: In 10 days, the hCG dose on day 11 you received should be gone so you can get tested again after day 21.

Question 10

is it possible to ovulate 7 days past hcg trigger shot?

Accepted Answer

HCG shot: Usually you would only ovulate 40 hours or so after a trigger shot.  The shot mimics an LH surge and so it is short lived.
