Hmmm. I'm starting to get excited because I've been doing research to see how much hcg is in the Ovidrel shot and according to this...
Each vial contains choriogonadotropin α 285 mcg to ensure delivery of a 250-mcg dose.
A dose of 250 mcg is equivalent to approximately 6500 iu.
( Every woman's metabolism is different, but as a general rule of thumb, you should allow 1 day for every 1,000 units of hCG you injected. The standard hCG dose is 10,000 units; thus, 10 days after the shot, the synthetic hCG should be gone and you should be able to test for pregnancy without detecting the shot. However, you should ask your doctor what the recommended protocol for your dosage is.)
So, I did the shot Sunday morning at 3am, which was 8 days ago...which should have been enough time to metabolize! Also, read that:
How soon can I test? Well, first you gotta know how the test works. Briefly: the home pregnancy test (HPT) works by detecting a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG.) When an egg is fertilized, it takes about 6 to 12 days to implant in the uterus, and then it begins to secrete hCG. It takes another day or two for enough hCG to build up and make its way into your pee. So, generally speaking, the earliest you can expect a positive HPT is 8 days past ovulation ("DPO") and the latest would be about 16 DPO. It is possible to get a positive test earlier or later, but not as common. In my experience, if you use a sensitive "early" test (anything that detects 25 mIU/mL of hCG or less) you can test around 12-14 DPO and feel reasonably secure with your results (the later you test, the more secure you can feel in its accuracy.)
If I ovulated Monday then...it should pick it up!:)
I'm TESTING TOMORROW MORNING AGAIN! :)
PS I also read that it can take a week or two to feel sore breasts...
