Nope, most of the time wen you are just starting out on your infertility path, you are just taking Clomid for your 5 recommended days, no trigger shot necessary. The trigger comes in later if in your evaluations the Clomid is just producing healthier follicles yet you aren't releasing them. No worries for a few months yet.

So that means that the clomid will cause the follicles to pop off on thier own or should anyway? Thank you . I just dont want to have to ad anymore chemicles then needed..I keep hearing about these women on here having these shots done and ending up with four or more kids at once.. I wouldnt mind as I would love them all , but I just would like to try and do this with only the clomid aid that my doc. had put me on right now.

The trigger shot is only used with Clomid if your body isn't "triggering" the release on it's own. For many women who are prescribed Clomid, it isn't a matter of lack of HCG, but rather they aren't maturing follicles in the first place...and in comes Clomid.

Normally the HCG shot isn't used with clomid. It's usually used with injectible drugs that cause follicles to develop, but not actually ovulate. Clomid actually causes ovulation so usually the trigger shot is unnecessary. However your doctor is definitely the best to evaluate your particular case. The trigger shot really isn't a big deal if you need it and it does make timing intercourse a lot easier. By the way, the shots that you hear women talk about that causes high order multiples are injectible fertility drugs, not the HCG trigger shot. The trigger shot can't cause multiples on it's own. Good luck with your persuit of a baby!
