Hi - I Am Doing FSH With IUI To Conceive.
Question: Hi - I am doing FSH with IUI to conceive. I took the HCG trigger shot 10 days ago, but only last night my breasts have become very sore. Could this be a delayed reaction to the HCG or should that be about out of my system? This is our second cycle, our first cycle I became pregnant but had an early miscarriage. I experienced the same thing i.e. breasts sore about a week after HCG trigger shot was administered. Thanks in advance!
Brief Answer:
FSH injection can cause breast tenderness
Detailed Answer:
Hi Dear,
Thank you for reaching out at Ask A Doctor
I have read and understood your concern ,As you mention both FSH and HCG shots in view of IUI, both have a tendency to cause breast swelling and tenderness as the breast tissue is highly hormone sensitive .This symptom is usually self restricted and goes away on its own by 2 weeks of the shots.
Do revert back incase of further concerns. Wishing you good health.
Thank you,
