Testing out HCG trigger?

in Trouble TTC
I'm doing my HCG trigger this morning and I've read that some people test out the trigger. My RE just told me to test of day 14. So I'm just curious what is the norm?
Fucking bump!!!!

    It's your call. I didn't test out my trigger the first time, got antsy, poas on 11dpo. Ended up being the trigger.

    So I test it out now, because I don't have the patience to wait until 14dpo.

    I didn't test out the trigger for iui #1 because I decided that would probably drive me more crazy. And it have me an excuse to wait until at least 12dpo to do my first POAS (that's when I caved lol)

    Me: 32  DH: 33  Married: March 2004

    July 2006: started TTC
    2008: HSG (normal), couple rounds of clomid through gyno
    2008 - 2010: dragging my feet out of fear and procrastination
    October 2010: first consultation with RE, dx PCOS and fibroids (DH slightly low count/motility)
    Oct. 2010 - Dec. 2012:  In DENIAL! avoided the issue because I was scared of surgery
    January 2013: returned to RE, fibroids grew significantly
    February 2013: second HSG, fibroids pushed on tubes which blocked them somewhat
    March 2013: MRI to determine what type of surgery may be necessary
    July 29, 2013: fibroids (5) removed via robotic laparascopy
    August 2013 - Nov 2013 : benched due to recent surgery

    IUI #1, Dec. 24, 2013, BFN 
    IUI #2, Jan. 25, 2014, BFN
    IUI #3, Feb. 25, 2014  BFN
    IUI #4 canceled due to lack of response to letrozole
    IUI #4.1 April 28, 2014, BFN
    May 16, 2014: wtf consult, start prepping for IVF in June and add injects for one last IUI in the meantime
    IUI #5 started letrozole and bravelle but canceled after HSG led to new diagnosis
    May 21, 2014: third HSG, tubes blocked, one at the beginning, one hydrosalpinx??
    June 11, 2014: consult, approved to move on to IVF because the hydro is not completely blocked therefore allowing fluid to move through slowly rather than backwards
    IVF #1 August 8, 2014 - 3dt of 2 embryos, BFN
    September 17, 2014 - 4th HSG, the right tube is very patent (open!!) dye went straight through this time. Weird!
    October 2, 2014 - started metformin treatment
    November 14, 2014 - blood work, brought A1C down from 5.8 to 5.5
    November 26, 2014 - RE finally back from vaca and reviewed my chart, no more IVFs for rest of calendar year
    December 1, 2014 - Right after Thanksgiving, I called a new clinic and got in right away! Plan for IVF
    December 17, 2014 - ER! 29 retrieved (!!), 16 mature, all 16 fertilized (ICSI)
    IVF #2 December 20, 2014 - 3dt of 3 embryos, BFN

    We are done with treatment unsuccessfully. :(

    I've been testing out my trigger. I am 5dpiui and got a real squinter this morning so I'm pretty sure it's out. I'm very curious and I like to pee on things so I will be testing every day until 14....or AF I guess. Good luck!

    The second reason, ( ticket for the crazy train needed) is I've never seen a second line ever. I wanted to see one so bad so I tested out my trigger.  

    Actually that is one reason I may do it one of these days... I want to know that I am capable of coming up with a second line lol

    I've always tested out my trigger because I like driving myself insane.  I haven't sarted testing it out for this IVF because I keep forgetting before I go pee in the morning.  I will probably start tomorrow morning which is 7 days past trigger.

    Thanks, y'all have talked me into it. I'm testing out the trigger. I love peeing on things anyway. This is just an excuse.

    Now I'm guessing I don't need to start for a few days.
    Fucking bump!!!!

    I tested mine out starting at 7 days post trigger, and then it was gone for real on day 11. I agree with everyone, it is nice to see a second line for once :)

    I'm in the minority here!  I don't test out my trigger.  I did once and I drove myself insane (as in "I still see a line!!!" when there was nothing there).  I tested at 10 DPO (11 days after trigger) and got a squinter and I was soooooooo excited... only to have the damned line disappear the next day (again, trigger shot).

    I'm chubby so I think my fat holds on to the HCG for a looooooooooooooong time.  It's a very, very bad idea for me to test before 14 DPO.  It does nothing but get my hopes up.  This time around will be different, though.  I'll be on a cruise ship during the second week of my 2WW so I'll be focusing really hard on capturing the feel of the sun, the sound of the surf, and the smell of the tropics before I have to come back to this frozen wasteland.
