HCG SHOT

Took my first HCG shot tonight.  Would it hurt if I had intercouse tonight?  My instructions I recieved today was to take the HCG shot tonight and have intercourse tomorrow and the next day.  In 3 days I start progesterone until I'm told to stop then I have blood work in 9 days and a week after blood work I am scheduled to have a pregnancy test.  I hope all goes well!

you want to have the most sperm available tomorrow and it can take 2-3 days to replenish.  so i would hold off tonight and go for it tomorrow at your peak chance of ovulating and timing things perfectly.

It wouldn't hurt to have intercourse the same day as the trigger unless your partner has a low sperm count. Best of luck this month!
