Can Trigger Shots Help To Ovulate And Fertilize The Two Matured Follicle?

Hello. I have been trying to conceive for two years and this is my first cycle of Clomid. I was on 50 mg day 4-8 and went to the doctors on day 15 to receive my HCG injection. When he measured my follicles I had two on my left ovary. One at 22 mm and the other at 15mm. The doctor recommended me taking Mucinex to help with my cervical mucus. Should I continue taking this even after ovulation has occured? I believe since I received the trigger shot day 15 that I probably should have ovulated day 16. Does the trigger shot definately guarantee ovualtion if you have a mature follicle, and would it be very unlikey for both of those follicles to become fertilized?

Hi, thanks for writing..
Injection hcg helps in ovulation of mature follicle.. In your case one follicle is 20mm and other is 15 mm.. With inj hcg, 22mm follicle will ovulate but 15 mm follicle maynot ovulate as it is not mature..Continue the Mucinex till the expected next periods.. Have intecourse in and around the time of ovulation to have maximum chance of pregnancy.. If both ovulate at this time then chance of both getting fertilised is high.. Hope I have answered your query..Good day..
