Hcg trigger shot?

PugsandKisses · August 2015

For those that had to trigger, can you tell me about it?

Especially the price. I don't want to be sticker shocked at the Px.

I can't help you on the price, as my insurance covers it. What else you wanna know? Don't take a pregnancy take cuz you'll get a false positive. It can cause pregnancy-like symptoms (since it's the pregnancy hormone). I didn't feel any different. What else?

That works. This is new to me. Any is insight is awesome and welcome.

I just looked up on my insurance. Total cost is 85 for pregnyl.

Some people "test-out" meaning they POAS until it's a clear negative, then skip a few days and starting POAS. That way once you a get a positive, it'll be a real positive. Seems like the average is about a week before a clear negative.

I can't help with any info, but if you have to buy it from a pharmacy you can look up a price list and go to the cheapest place on Goodrx. I've saved 100s of dollars on a script by going to a different pharmacy. The pricing can vary so wildly.

I buy it directly from my RE: $86 for Ovidrel.

My insurance doesn't cover meds and I paid $109.00 at pharmacy.

Tip: use ice pack to numb up before you do the shot. I learned the hard way.

Hey pugs! I paid $125.00 at my pharmacy for ovidrel. I tested out the trigger, it showed BFP until 7dpo. It was super easy to inject and I really didn't have many symptoms from it.

My insurance doesn't cover Ovidrel (or any other version) and I usually pay around $100. My pharmacy gives a discount for prescriptions that insurance won't cover. It's usually 15-20%. But I always call around to different pharmacies to check their prices. If your pharmacy doesn't offer a discount my RE's office hands out those free prescription discount cards. (Google "prescritption discount card" and you can find plenty of them and you can print a card/coupon). I've ordered online from Freedom Fertility pharmacy in the past but now they add on a $30 charge if you aren't also purchasing injectible meds (I've only ever taken Clomid or Femara).

As far as the shot itself it doesn't hurt and I inject it in my stomach about 2 inches to the left or right of my belly button. And I always test out the trigger starting at 6-7dpo. Some people never get a negative test between the trigger and a true BFP but that's never happened to me.

I had to pay $130 for Novarel, but the vial will last me 2 shots so I guess I cannot complain too much! I didn't test out, but the half-life of HCG IM trigger shot is 5.6 hours, although that can vary by individual metabolism.
