Expert advice on early HPT after trigger shot

[JTDs Mom]

OK--I'm driving myself nuts in my 2ww!  So, today is 11dpiui and I broke down and tested with a $stre test this afternoon.

Here's the backstory--I had my initial trigger shot 12 days ago, then had a 1cc (2500IU) 6 days ago.  I'm assuming the initial trigger was 7500IU (plus the booster of 2500IU would be the entire 10,000IU dose).

So, I got a $store test and tested this afternoon, and there is a faint, but noticable second line!

Obviously I have nothing else to compare it to, so I dont know if it's possible that it's still some leftover hcg from the 2500IU booster 6 days ago or if it's a possible + test!

What do you ladies think?  My RE wont do a blood test until Monday, so 6 more days (it'll be 17dpiui if I make it till then with no AF).

I've been having some "symptoms":  sore boobs, veiny boobs, lower backache, cramping/twingy/achy/bloated feeling in abdomen, tired, gassy, sort of nauseous in the evening.

Hello ladies I have been reading these formums for days now trying to be positive about this whole situation. it is my husbands and I first attemt on fertility shots and trigger. I took the trigger on the 19 July so I am 10 past trigger if I don't count Monday. I have taken a a test yesturday and it was negitive no sign of a + at all. But I am confused because honestly I just feel pregnant. I have been so extremly tired and the pasted five nights I have been waking up in middle of the night to pee about four times. That is not usuall for me, also I statred to get a white creamy discharge yesturday. I am just so confused my husband did not want me to take a home test he wants me to wait until my blood test on Tuesday but that is killing me. So I did the test at work and now don't know how to feel about it.

can anyone give me advice????

our cycles are very close! I took ovidrel on 4/24 and had an iui on 4/26. I am spotting today and not sure what to make of it!!!!


Anyone have any ideas?

[Lynds0922]

Hey everyone I took an orvidrel shot on April on April 26th and IUI n april 27th and stll getting VERY light positives I know this is the shot but when should I see BFP????

[Kash12]

Congrats my dear... Happy Mothers day to u :) So happy for u...

[sarah9010]

sounds like you have your self a great mothers day presant.   I took my hpt 11 days post trigger to get my real BFP and it was confermed at 13dpiui.

[sasparilla]

WOW!!! that is so awesome!!!!!  SSBD!!!

[JTDs Mom]

I finally broke out the big guns this morning--a FRER.  

So, at life 5 am this morning I POAS and a second line came up immediately and is just as dark as the control line!

I know the darkness of the test line really doesnt mean anything, but I think it's good that it's so dark and came up so fast!

One more FRER for tomorrow then my beta Monday morning!  I'm getting kind of excited here...

[sasparilla]

Turns out mine was an actual positive.  I tested 12 DP IUI and had a very faint pos. then I started cramping really bad later in the day and started spotting.. had such bad cramps had to take a pain pill.  After going to my new RE's for day 3 B/W, turns out my HCG was at a 5 and I was "expelling my chemical".  Sooo.. I have just figured out that those HPTs are made to drive you bat sh*t after a trigger.  I hope yours is a nice sticky BFP!!!

[Kash12]

Test test test... U might be in for a beautiful bfp.. kup...

[tina1111]

It is really sounding like it now!!! Wow! I really hope it is. I tell you, you have a will of iron if you haven't busted out a frer and you have one in the house, lol. I would have done it 4hrs after the 1st $tree :)  That trigger should be way long gone. I'm leaning bfp now :) Geeze, now I have to tune in tomorrow. I can't wait!!!

[JTDs Mom]

So, here's what's been going on the past couple of days...

I tested Wednesday morning with a $tree test and there was a faint positive.  Thursday morning ($tree) was also a positive..VERY slightly darker than Wed.  This morning (Friday) I used my last $tree test and it was still positive and still a bit darker than the other 2.

Today, Friday, I'm 14dpiui, 15 days past initial trigger, and 9 days past my booster shot.  My boobs are still sore, swollen and veiny, I'm very bloated, having lower back pain, etc.  

Do you think at this point--9 days past the 1cc booster shot--it might actually be true!?  My beta isnt until Monday and I have FRERs to use Saturday and Sunday...

Hi Ladies.. I posted this on another thread, but heres what happened to me this month with my dumb old trigger:

I tested out the whole trigger.. day 3, 5, 7, 9, 10, 11 Past IUI.
Day 3 Dark +
Day 5 Fairly Dark +
Day 7 Neg.
Day 9 Neg.
Day 10 Light + (I thought i was preggers all day yesterday)
Day 11 Negative (Today)


Sooooo.. looks like I must of had some of the trigger still in my system..   As of today I am not preggers and its Neg.  

I had 10,0000 units.

[Cheesecake7]

I would definatly say things are looking up.  I had a 10000 unit trigger this month and it was out by 8 DPO, then, 2 days later I got the faintest little line. I was afraid it was the trigger, but nope, I am pregnant.  If I were you I would buy several of the same brand/kind of test and compare to see if those get darker, yes the sensitivity varies a little but you'll be able to get a good idea.  Good luck!

[tina1111]

Getting darker is always a good sign. But, tests can vary on sensitivity, too. Then I sit and wonder, was it a more sensitive test or is it more hcg??? I, too am a compulsive tester and obsesser! It does sound really encouraging though!!

[Kash12]

Yes..if the lines start getting darker.. u are in for a BFP..
I got a trigger of 10000 IU and got a very very faint line on 9 DPO..11 DPT. I wasn't sure if it was a +ve ..so tested the next day again with FMU to get a darker line. I was using EPT HPTs...

good luck to u :)

[alikat1205]

I can always see something on the dollar tree tests too.  I don't trust them at all!

[JTDs Mom]

I'm going to wait until at least Friday before I pull out the "big guns" (i.e. the FRER or CVS brand tests).

I sometimes dont trust the $tree ones either, but this second line came up within the 3 minute time frame, so I dont know.  

I bought 4 tests, so I'll test again tomorrow AM with FMU and then the next day and the next.  i guess if it's real the line will get darker, or at least NOT get lighter, right?

[tina1111]

I think the trigger is likely gone. But, I have had too many colored evaps on $tree to trust them. I'd get a frer and do a fmu. A lot of ladies like the $trees. I use them "for amusement purposes only", lol. Mostly, because I can always see "something" on them rather than the stark white of a neg frer. It is sounding so hopefull!!!!!!
