HCG leaves your system by halves everyday. If you had the standard dose of 10,000 iu of HCG in your shot, it should be all out of your system by day 10. I would say day 10 is the earliest you should test, but remember that may still be too early to get an accurate reading. Ideally, you should test 14-16 days after the the HCG shot .

I never heard of getting a second hcg after an IUI 7 days later. Can you please explain why your doctor did that? I am perplexed...

I wish my doctor would do that, I bet that HCG helps build the lining too, increases the progesterone. You sound like you have a proactive doctor. I may ask about that the next cycle if this one I'm on is a bust. If you had the HCG shot twice, I tend to think its still in your blood, I would wait for a blood test, just so you don't get that wicked false positive.

Hi Ladies, They call the 2nd HCG shot post IUI... "HCG Booster Shot". For some women, injection cycles will cause the corpus lutem to short circuit and shorten the luteal phase. This happens to me, so I have the booster shot (which only 1cc) to make my 2nd half stays strong. With that I cannot test till 14 days post 1st HCG shot.

JenG that is good information, thanks for sharing that. I never knew. I wonder if that could help me...

JEN G ; so you mean by 14dpo you can test correct ?(1cc) you mean your second hcg is less than first one? sorry im just so confused!? LINDS ; you can ask your dr next time i dont think having second hcg would hurt. GOOD luck to all of you and thank you for your information.

Hi, Actually, 12dpo. HCG (before O) is generally 48 hours before O, so from HCG to test is 14 days. My RE to O with HCG is 7500 (3cc). So, the left overs of 1cc is taking 5 days after IUI... For me, I have done a varieties of this protocol. The 1st cycles that I did nothing... I started spotting on 9dpo and then started 12dpo. Weak... so then he added just the booster and I went to 13dpo with no spotting. Great improvement.

Oh, in the last cycle, I did an HCG booster with 200mg Prometrium at night and extended to 14/15dpo. Not sure what they will do with my IVF on the booster, but I will be doing the Progesterone shots.

 

JenG - October 18

Oh, and why 7500 versus 10,000. My RE had told me once that on clomid they general use a slightly high dose. If you are on injections, they will use 7500. This may vary from RE to RE.

gen ; tanks again for information.i have another question for you did you hear that woman can have last AF cus of booster hcg? my booster hcg was 5000 so it may not be out of my body yet ! good luck with your ivf !

Hi Ladies! Sofie, I took a 2nd HCG shot 4 days after my IUI. This is my 3rd IUI. I was told to test 14 days from the IUI not the HCG shot. The second shot is to increase your progesterone. I am testing 15 days past IUI which is on the 31st. GOOD LUCK to everyone!
