How long should HCG stay in your system after a Trigger shot?
by dainsey, Jan 30, 2007 12:00AM
For any of you girls that have done IUI or injectibles and you've taken an HCG trigger shot to force the ovulation...how long should it stay in your system? I thought I heard at least 12 days, yet today is day 9 for me since I took it and I just took a pregnancy test and it came back negative which concerns me that the HCG isn't still showing up from the shot?

hi,from what my gynec told me,HCG turns into progesterone in 48 hrs and very minimal might stay back in your body uptil 10 days,so don't worry if its neg now,u might get a BFP in a few days time!

The general "rule" is to wait 12 days after your last injection because everybody is different. In order to avoid false positives, they tell you to wait until the injection is definitely out of your system before testing. Of course, as with everything, everyone is different. It's best to wait a little bit though just so you don't get your hopes up.

Well that's what concerned me...I took a preg test today and it's only 9 days pass the trigger HCG shot and it came back negative?? I wonder if the shot didn't work?

i am sure your shot did work do you know how much of the shot they gave you?i had 10,ooo ,did you get any ov pains or very sore breast after the shot?for some reason every time i have the shot my stomach also feels very bloated,sometimes the shot just stays in different woman for longer or shorter periods of time,as long as you know that it was injected in to you then it did what it was there for i'm sure,its always best for it to be out of your system anyway so that way if you test again in a few days and you do get bfp then it will be for real,and sticky ewwy goowey baby dust to you!!!

I did my first iVF cycle on July 6th and had the shot of HCG 10000.00 units on the 5th. Then went back on the 8th for the transfer. They transfered one egg the doctor said that the eggs were perfect and in good condition. I had 11 eggs taken out and 10 fertilized and i have 8 frozen. It is now day 13 i have taken 3 HPT this week and they all came back positive should i believe the test results my blood test is in 3 days.

071707, sounds like a real BFP to me. Good luck!

My RE told me that the trigger shot stays in yor system for 10 days, so NO testing until after cause it will result in a false positive! I had my 2nd trigger shot (Novarel 10,000 units) Wednesday nite and go back Friday this week for bloodwork! :)
