When will the hcg shot be out of my system?

[luvkayln]

Hi girls! :) I'm 10 dpo/iui today, and am wondering when will the hcg shot be out of my system? This was our first cycle with follistim and iui, and we had 6-7 follies ready to go on the day of iui. I did 5000iu of hcg on CD 11, IUI  at CD 13, another 2500iu at 1dpo and then another 2500iu at 4 dpo. I haven't tested or anything, so I'm not even sure what a test would say right now, but I assume +ve since I've taken the shot so much this cycle. For all my Clomid/IUI cycles, I took the whole shot right before IUI to trigger my ovulation. So this is the first time my RE has had me split it up like this, so I wasn't for sure when it would be out. On a good note, with clomid I always had all kinds of symptoms in my 2ww- mostly sore bbs and nauseated right away b/c of the shot. Well, this 2ww my bbs have yet to be sore, which is honestly VERY strange for me, and I just started feeling really nauseated starting yesterday, and has continued through today. Trying to stay hopeful here, and don't want to have the urge to test and see a false +ve! Any advice or experiences would be greatly appreciated! :)

Thanks for the responses! :) I've always heard that it leaves your system 1000iu everyday, but was still curious b/c I've never had the hcg as a booster before. Tankerchic- I know how heartbreaking that would be to be getting false +ve's all the way to 14 dpo and then have AF arrive! :(  Were your tests getting lighter at all? I did take a test last night, and it was faint positive and then took one again this morning, still positive but about half the lightness of the one I took yesterday so I don't think i'm pregnant... :(

Oh girl I know your frustration.  I'm right there with you.  This cycle and last cycle I did the hcg booster shots and it is complete torture for me not to be able to test.  

I always heard the 1000iu a day as empty said, but I don't think that is true after my last cycle.  My last cycle I did 10,000iu 36 hours before IUI.  Then 2,000 1dpiui, another 2,000 4dpiui and another 2,000 7dpiui.  So if 1,000 leaves your system per day, than I should have been able to test as soon as 9 or 10 dpiui.  I got false positives all the way to 14dpiui and then AF showed up that evening.  I found another web page that said it drops in half every day.  

The cycles I have had before, when I only used hcg only to trigger ovulation and no boosters, it was always out of my system by 10days after shot. Since yours was a lower dose (2,500 instead of 10,000), you may be able to test sooner but there probably is a chance of false positive.  

When I was getting all the false positives with FRER, I did get a negative with FRER digital.  Maybe you could try that.  

Best of luck, I hope you get a TRUE BFP!!

Hi there - the rule i go with is 1000iu should leave your body every day. I did a 10,000iu as my trigger shot and when I tested 12 days later it was all gone.

Good luck and I hope this is a BFP for you on the way.
