Leslie, I just took the HCG shot last month and I had no serious side effects from it. (I POAS the next morning just to have the satisfaction of seeing 2 lines... crazy huh?) I think the progesterone that I was taking was messing with me more than anything. I was terrified for DH to give me that trigger shot because the needle was so intimidating but to my surprise, it was no where near as bad as I was making it out to be in my head. They say you work out about 1000 units per day, so roughly 10 days if you have a 10,000 unit dose. I might wait till 12 days past trigger just to be sure not to get a false positive.
