    sorry, i haven't done a cycle in several years now (DD was conceived in 2008) - i may be misquoting the drug names - the drug used as trigger, and often used in luteal phase support - whatever it is called - contains HCG. off the top of my head i thought of puregon - i think maybe it was pregnyl i was thinking of - although over the course of my treatment, i used that many drugs, it could be something different.

    the content of my post was clear though - the drug used in luteal phase support contains HCG. and i'm sorry, but i will argue the point that 4 corpus luteum is not a sign of anything other than three burst follicles - the exact same concentration of hcg will lead to development of one or 30 corpus luteum - the hormonal INPUT to create them is the same - the hormones created will be in higher volume though.

    i apologise if i typed the wrong drug name.

    Oh it's all good. Wasn't disagreeing with you, just is frustrating wondering. Anyways, got a call from my doc and he wants me to go for another scan tomorrow as my hcg levels went from 141 to 16000 in a week. He says he is worried because of the 3 cl he saw. Guess soon enough I'll know....
