Side effects of HCG trigger shot (pregnyl)

[Kat9lives]

Hi ladies

I did my trigger shot last night and all day today I've felt lousy, headachey and progressively more nauseous. Is this normal? I rang the clinic earlier about something else so don't want to keep bothering them! Thanks xx

Hi Kat9lives. I agree with the others. Remember that the trigger shot is hCG which is a pregnancy hormone, so some women do get some yucky, nauseous side effects. Should soon pass and good luck with the rest of the cycle. Diane

I felt nausea and headaches for a few days when I took the HCG. I guess because it is the pregnancy hormone it may mimic some symptoms. Maybe you should contact them if you are worried. I had similar symptoms though.

Thanks ladies. This has now passed (hcg was 5 days ago) xx

Ok that's great. Good luck with it all. I hope we get out miracles...
