Ovulation typically occurs 36-48 hours after hCG leaves your system. The hCG trigger shot mimics the natural surge of luteinizing hormone (LH), which induces ovulation. Tracking your ovulation through methods like basal body temperature or ovulation predictor kits can offer more precise timing.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What is hCG and how does it relate to ovulation? hCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin, is a hormone that triggers ovulation by mimicking the natural LH surge in the body. It’s often used in fertility treatments.
  2. How can I track my ovulation accurately? You can track ovulation accurately using methods such as monitoring basal body temperature, using ovulation predictor kits, or observing physical signs like changes in cervical mucus.
  3. How long does hCG stay in your system? hCG typically remains in your system for about 7 to 10 days after the injection, depending on individual metabolism and the amount administered.
  4. Can I still ovulate if hCG is still in my body? While ovulation usually occurs 36-48 hours after hCG leaves your system, it is possible for some individuals to ovulate while there are still trace amounts of hCG present.
