Testing out trigger poll

Do you test out your trigger shot, and if so, when does it go negative for you?

I voted 9-11 because I know that is when it was out for IUI #4 because I posted notes in FF (11 days), it may have been 12 days for IUI #3.  I didn't test out my trigger for IVF #1 because we didn't transfer anything, and for IVF #2, I have no idea if the when/if the trigger was out because of my issue with wondfo tests giving me super faint lines.

I'm curious because I'm 11 days past trigger and STILL getting positives.  It's driving me batshit crazy.  I still think it's too early for a positive (especially for a wondfo - I'm 9 DPO so it isn't really possible to get a REAL positive this soon, is it?)

I just keep waiting for the damned things to go blank but I keep getting very light pink lines.  It's a serious mind fuck.

ETA: I tested with Wondfos in the past (when no trigger was there) and I didn't even get a hint of a line, which is why I'm struggling with the lines I'm getting now.  Bah.  I need to just let it go.  I won't have a conclusive result either way for several days so I should stop freaking myself out.

Yeah, I'm getting those super faint lines too, @Twinkie0612.  I'm supposed to test with an FRER on Monday.  I don't want to waste it before then if the trigger is still swimming around in my blood.

I used to be a big fan of wondfos, but now I am questioning them.  I have heard some stories that they are just as sensitive as FRER, but apparently not in my experience.  

I had the faintest lines (looked like evaps) since 5dp5dt (10 DPO or 12 days past trigger), they were driving me crazy.  Then today I took a wondfo with FMU and go another super light barely there line.  I was convinced it was an evap, so I dipped a FRER expecting a negative and the second line popped up right away.  It's light, but no squinting necessary.  I am 7dp5dt (12 DPO or 14 days past trigger), so I am assuming that this must be a real line.  My beta is tomorrow, so I should know my HCG level by then.

Thanks everyone!  I'll see how things go.  It could be either way (darker or lighter).  I feel like complete shit because I'm on Prometrium, so that's messing with my head, too.  Can barely keep my eyes open and I want to go to Golden Corral and binge until I vomit.

ETA: Big congrats, @Twinkie0612!  I saw your post earlier Rock on.  Can't wait to hear about your first beta!

I am on progesterone injections and suppositories and I am not sure if it is the progesterone or the steroids I am on but I eat non-stop.  I am always hungry.
