HCG Injection

I had my injection shot last Wednesday, and now for a few days now I have been feeling really nauseated, irritable, and emotional.  I've also been getting headaches as well. If I eat I get sick afterwards, but when I'm nauseated and then I eat I feel better. Could I be pregnant or is it to soon? Or could I have side effects from the shot? This is my third injection and never felt this way with the first two.

Hi!
I have never yet been able to predict correctly based on symptoms whether or not someone is pregnant.  The trigger shot doesn't seem to cause a lot of side effects.  Pregnancy does not usually cause too many problems either, at least until the test is positive. You should be able to test very soon --good luck!
