Hi, last month I had an HSG test, which was normal. This month, I was given an HCG 5000 injection for ovulation. My left ovary released an egg a few days ago. Now, I have sharp pain in my left ovary once a day for 2 to 3 minutes. Is this normal implantation, an ectopic pregnancy, or something else?

Mild sharp pain on the side of ovulation after HCG injection and follicle rupture is common and can occur due to ovulation or corpus luteum formation. It is too early to confirm implantation or rule out ectopic pregnancy now. Monitor for severe pain, dizziness, or heavy bleeding, which need urgent care. To confirm pregnancy and location, do a Serum Beta hCG test 14 days post ovulation and follow up with your doctor if needed.

How early can I confirm if I am pregnant? In other words, when is the best time to take a pregnancy test? Also, are there any specific early pregnancy symptoms I should look out for?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I had sex with my boyfriend last month. I want my periods to come by the 1st of every month. My period is delayed by three days, and I took a pregnancy test, which was positive. When should I take an unwanted pregnancy kit, and how much bleeding should I expect after abortion?

After a home pregnancy test report was negative, I have not had my period for approximately one and a half months. What should I do next?
