Do you have clomid and hcg shot?

Those ladies that are taking clomid, do you also have the shot to release the follie?

Just curious to know what others are doing?

I'll take it thats a no!!!!!!! lol!

ive not heard of the shot being used with clomid

Yes I am! - At least I think thats what it is, they don't really tell me what it is they just tell me to drop my pants and bend over!! Ha Ha! I had it last month but still no OV. Had one on Weds last week and go for my blood test on Weds to have my progesterone checked to see if I have OV'ed this month.

Good luck!

Hi! I get an HCG shot after Clomid as well. Once I go in for u/s and follies are a good size, RE gives me HCG to trigger ovulation, and I have the IUI within 36 hours to have the sperm waiting for the egg.

is this the procedure if you aren't ovulating at all?i ovulate but too late in my cycle and just wondered what "route" my consultant might go down x

No, it's for people that ovulate as well.

I ovulate normally and have regular AF's, all come like clockwork, but the problem is DH's sperm is too low. The RE is trying to make up in some way by having more than one egg mature and be released, which is why I'm taking clomid and trigger shot.

Haven't had much luck yet though, as this is my upcoming IUI #3.

So I'm thinking in your case, HCG shot would be to trigger ovulation earlier in your cycle, I'm not sure if you would get Clomid, though. Good luck!

ive got my scan tomorrow but they have never mentioned anything about the injection to me.

I am taking clomid days 2 to 6 of my cycle, on day 12 I go for an internal ultrasound scan and if my follicles are the right size I have the HCG shot to make me ovulate. They say I should ovulate in the next 12 to 36 hours. However they don't do any blood tests to make sure I do ovulate which annoys me as I would like confirmation that the shot does what they say it does. I was surprised to have this treatment as most people I had read about just had the clomid and the scans to make sure they weren't over stimulated, however after being prescribed this I have heard that this is just as common too

Hi Loopylew,

the trigger shot (HCG) is given when the follies reach a good size and it ensures that they release!

Hi Clairebear,

I'm not sure either why they have prescribed this for me, when other people just have clomid(not that i'm complaining). I suppose each hospital has a different protocol.

I've heard of people having a shot!
I however didnt, was given Clomid and on our First cycle it WORKED!!! I toke 50mg's for 5days from CD 2 - 6
We are now 17 + 5

My friend had this last year.

First cycle of TTC they put her on clomid and 4 years after she first started TTC she had her little girl. Second time they put her on clomid but wouldn't up the dosage so they gave her the injection and she fell first time - she's due in a week! Good luck!
