Brief Answer:
Hi, it will take 34 to 36 hours.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, welcome to HealthcareMagic. The HUCOG injection is given to rupture the follicles and release the egg and generally it takes 34 to 36 hours for that. So, you should be in contact with your wife for 2 to 3 days after injection. Egg will be viable for fertilisation for 24 hours after its release. Sperm will be able to fertilise the egg for 72 hours after it is ejaculated. So, contact for 2 to 3 days after injection will be enough to give optimum time for sperm and egg to get fertilised. Do a scan after 2 days to confirm the rupture of follicles. Take progesterone for next 2 weeks. Do a urine pregnancy test at home after that. Discuss with your doctor regarding this. Hope I have answered your question.

We were asked to visit again tomorrow for follicilour test .

And what is progesterone? Is it a tablet?

And if we will be in contact for 2 to 3, will the sperm quality be good?

Brief Answer:
Progesterone is a tablet.

Detailed Answer:
Hi, I think you can go for a scan tomorrow also, because your follicle is 20 mm and it can rupture anytime bh itself also. The injection is given just to make sure that rupture happens. Progesterone is a hormonal tablet. It is given to support the implantation. It comes by the manes like duphaston or susten. Susten is generally given as a vaginal tablet 200mg twice a day. Duphaston is given orally 10 mg twice a day. Discuss with your doctor regarding this. Regarding the sperms quality, there is no issue with that because the first day contact will be enough to fertilise the egg. Three days contact is generally told to make sure that sperms are there to fertilise the egg. Hope I have answered your question.
