    I gave myself my own injection, which I am a nurse and accustomed to this. I went back to the fertility office the following day for my IUI. I followed the hcg levels with daily test strips and watched the hcg decrease in tone and then increase over the two weeks, I knew it must’ve worked but of course I waited for the blood work. It stimulated ovulation and we now have an 16 month old.

    Shot was fine. My husband did it for me. No effects that I could tell.
