A member asked:

How long does it take the 10,000 hcg trigger shot to leave your system befor i can take a first response pregnancy test?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

HCG: 10,000 units: The 10,000 units of HCG will stimulate ovulation, and will remain in your system for 7-10 days at least. If you do not have a period in three weeks after the shot, obtain a "quantitative" serum HCG test, and if elevated at that time will be positive for pregnancy.
