Do HCG Shots Delay Periods?

I administered 10,000 (iu?) Hcg injections on days 12, 14, 16, and 18. My cycles are usually 26 days (on the shorter side) but I am on Day 32 and still have not gotten my period. I have also been experiencing slight PMS symptoms for the past seven days. There also is a possibility I could be pregnant. Do you think I am or are the hcg shots just delaying my period? Thank you!

Hi,

You are supposed to wait for 17 days after HCG injection. It should be total cycle of 35 days in your case. You should get a pregnancy test done if the menstruation does not start by this time.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
