A question about HCG injections

My answer follows the question below:

I've read your book (The Garden of Fertility) and have a question about BBT charting. Can I still use BBT to confirm pregnancy if I am currently taking HCG injections to lengthen my luteal phase and improve my body's production of estrogen and progesterone? (My luteal phase was too short to support a pregnancy). My husband and I are trying to conceive (I currently chart both cervical mucous and BBT too).

Am I doing the right thing, or do other rules apply now?

----
I've never heard of HCG injections. You might go to your local hospital's medical library, and ask the librarian to help you answer your question. You might also ask the librarian to help you research your risks in taking this drug. Also, your pharmacist should give you the drug company's insert for these injections, and it might address these questions.
