Yes it does work. However, HCG medications are yet to be approved by FDA. hence they are not safe.

I have free fluid in the POD region on day 16 of my follicular study, and the report mentions an irregular and collapsed follicle on day 16. I have been undergoing follicular study, does this mean I am pregnant?
