HCG Injection

Hey ladies..I have a question and any information would be great..I took the HCG shot 7 days ago..2cc's 10,000 IU's..My doctor said that my pants may fit alittle tighter for a few days after the shot and they sure did but my question is: I feel bloated and feel like Im gassy but Im not..I have alot of pressure when I sit down and tons of tightness when I walk or even stand..Having sex is a nightmare cause I hurt bad on my left lower side of my abdominal..Is this a side affect of it? I called my doctor which is 2 hrs away and he told me to head up to the ER if Im in pain..the only thing is I dont want to go up there and there be nothing wrong and them tell me its just a side affect of the shot..

Thanks in advance!

I had similar side effects as you, swollen stomach, bloatedness and pain during sx but it wasnt unbearable. As rjoshua says, everyone responds diferently and I agree that if its bad, go to ER.
Good luck!

I've taken these shots and have never experienced this, but every women's body reponds differently to medication.

If you continue to feel discomfort I would go to the ER.  Rather safe then sorry.


Hope this helps.
