Pregnyl after ovulation?

**mummy2tje** · February 6th, 2013, 05:50 PM

My fertility specialist has prescribed me pregnyl shots at 4 dpo and 8 dpo. Have read that this injection is to promote ovulation so I'm wondering why he would want me to have it after ovulation?
I'm really confused!

Its also used luteal phase support- I've used it for that before

don't worry all is well

Same here I had it instead of progestrone

It will give you positive pregnancy test results so important not to test early

I had my first pregnyl shot to trigger ovulation, and then pregnyl injections three times per week throughout the entire first trimester, as well as progesterone tablets daily too. Mine was to boost my hormone levels to sustain the pregnancy. I was falling pregnant very easily, but then miscarrying

Thank you so much for your replies, after 6 miscarriages over the last 3 years I'm tired of failure. When my FS went from progesterone to pregnyl with no form of explanation at all I got a bit worried. I will sleep tonight, thanks again

I'm very sorry for all your losses. Its incredibly exhausting and stressful to lose pregnancy after pregnancy. Sounds like your FS has the same thinking that mine did - conception isn't the problem, but maintaining the pregnancy. FWIW, it was successful for me the very first time. I wish you just as much luck.

LuluHB, sounds like our FS are thinking the same thing. Nt only do I have to have pregnyl shots after OV I also have to take prednisilone orally and have daily Clexane shots for the first trimester. I'm so glad your first time on pregnyl was successful and I'm hoping with all my heart that is the case for me, thanks again

I'm just wondering, when is the earliest you can test after a pregnyl injection. My 1st shot was last Tuesday and the 2nd was last Saturday, so when can i do a HPT and know its accurate?

You could do one every day and look for the line to go light (indicating the pregnyl disappearing from your system) and then see if it starts to darken again or not.

TBH I think its always going to be dodgy when you're having regular shots and if you're sensible, you shouldn't do a HPT at all and just wait for bloods. Of course, I don't take my own advice and so I POAS in the morning that my next pregnyl injection was due (I was having a shot every third day so roughly 72 hours after my last shot). I got what I would describe as a medium sort of darkness on my BFP but I had no confidence at all and was actually really surprised when they rang with my blood results and a BFP

AF isn't due till Sunday, so if I have bloods today would it be too early? God I'm going crazy

I have done a test everyday for the las t 3 days and its gotten lighter. My problem is having no patients waiting to see if the line comes back

**LuluHB** · February 20th, 2013, 02:41 PM

If you had bloods today then you might get an accurate result but it depends on when you ovulated - your numbers could be so low though that its inconclusive with the pregnyl confusing things IYKWIM. When has your FS suggested you get them done?

I think patience is one of the hardest things about TTC! I never had any either. Good luck!

Yep, definitely. I think its especially hard when you're having something like the pregnyl shots because you FEEL oh so very pregnant which makes it even harder to reason with your logical self/

I've got everything crossed for you mummy2tje
