Taking treatment and they gave me a hcg trigger shot few days back. Now i feel nausea and my breasts are tender so im getting my hopes up. But im scared its just the injection making me feel this way. Anyone experienced this?
My doctor explained the hCG injection mimics the pregnancy hormone, so it can cause symptoms and even a false positive on early tests. She said wait the number of days they tell you before testing. The blood beta test is the accurate one to trust.
I remember feeling symptoms after the shot and getting my hopes up so high. Then learning it could be the injection itself was confusing. Did anyone else find this two week wait after the shot really stressful?
Yes, during my treatment the hCG trigger shot gave me sore breasts and a bit of nausea, which felt like pregnancy but wasnt yet. Thats why they tell you not to test too soon after the shot, it can show a false positive. Please go by the test date your doctor gives, I know the wait is so hard.
