HCG Trigger & HPT daily to know when out of system?

HI! i just had my first HCG trigger shot 8 days ago. I'm leaving town for a month and so I was going to test with HPT everyday to know when the HCG was out of my system so if I get a BFP ever I'll know it's true since I won't be able to get blood work done while i'm gone...
I started at 6dp trigger and got a faint line which i expected, 7dp and 8dp trigger are maybe a tiny bit lighter but the same darkness and it hurts my eyes to examine them to decide which may be darker.
Just wondering if anyone else is a POAS addict and done this... would you notice the line fading every day or every other day or even at all??

I had the trigger shot and an iui for the first time this month.  I was testing to see if the shot was out of my system and on 8dpo I got a faint positive, on 9 dpo I got a negative, and then today at 10 dpo I got a very very faint positive.  Could it still be the trigger?

How strong was your shot on the 23rd? I've heard from some that the HCG Trigger can cause pregnancy like symptoms but other then the BFP i got from it and the crampy ovaries, i feel normal! SO anything is possible. But I have no idea! It's so hard not to POAS when it's there isn't it!! But it's Monday now and you're only 2 days away I think it might be a true BFP depending on how much HCG the needles pumped into your body. If was 5000 each needle then I think you're safe... it was 10,000 then you might have to wait until your AF doesn't show up to now for sure!
You should go out and by some cheapies with the lines and do one and the other the next day and compare the lines to see if it's any darker. If it is then I think you're preggo! If it's lighter then it's probably the shot still leaving the system.
Sorry that was soooo long winded!!

Okay maybe you can help me. I have had 2 trigger shots one on June 16, and another on June 23. I will admit, even though I promised myself I wouldn't, I POAS twice. I got the digital kind they were on sale for a 3 pack. The 2 test came back postive. I know the trigger has alot to do with it, BUT my breast are sore (my nipples have been erect and sore for a week straight), after I eat I am nauses, and I am urinating more. My AF is due to come wednesday. Do you think I have a good chance my "+" are real? I have one test left.

I am so happy i'm not the only one out there that is addicted to POAS!! I will have to wait and see what happens I suppose! Today (9 dpo) the stick was light + again but I couldn't tell if it was lighter/darker because I took my vitamin right before bed and my pee was so florestcent this morning the background of the stick is faint yellow throwing off the pink lines.... tomorrow I will surely be squinting and comparing! My DH things i'm crazy sometimes.
I'm so excited for you that got your BFP's, what a great feeling!
baby dust to all those anxiously awaiting our BFPs!!

I tested as well after trigger once positive on 3 and 5 days after then negative on day 6 and 8, so who knows, never a BFP any of the times even with a later testing day during the 2ww.  i've found the pg tests to be very accurate in my case never a faint line, always a + or -.  GOOD LUCK, keep us posted   fit4fun

I did the same thing... I started testing about 3-4 days after my trigger. At 8 days past the trigger it was negative. So if you keep getting positives way after, your p/g!! Good luck!!

I did this and it worked when I got my BFP.  I started PAOS at 6 dpo.  I could see the line at 6 dpo. slightly lighter at 7 dpo,  slightly lighter at 8dpo,  then a little darker at 9 dpo, a little darker at 10 dpo, etc. These were minimal changes, and it took a lot of examining and squinting to even see the changes. But, I did what you are doing, and it did work so that i knew it was a real BFP.  Good luck, and have a good trip!!!
