I am no stranger to the infertility "life style" my DH and I have been ttc for 5 years. I have tried countless cycles of clomid with success but I have always misscarried. This month for the first time we tried shots leading up to the IUI instead of the clomid pills. We are now in our final week of waiting to see if we succeeded. I want to take a pregnancy test so bad! The nurse at the specialists office warns against taking a test at home until I miss my period because of all the homones I have been on I could get a false positive. If any of you have been in this situation do you actually wait?

Did you take the HCG Trigger shot?

Yes, I did take the HCG trigger shot. I am just so nervous and excited that I couldn't remember specifically why I should wait. Since we have stepped it up with the shots this month it's really hard to tell if I have pregnancy symtoms. Thanks for the help, I guess we will wait a few more days until I go back to the doctors on Tuesday.

Hello Jen!


I have no advice regarding the shots, as I've never done them.
