Question to you POAS'ers with HCG boosters

in TTC after 35

I know a bunch of you do the POAS even after taking the HCG booster shots.  I know there are different length of days that the RE's recommend for waiting.  Some of the posters mentioned testing every day and waiting waiting until the second line goes away so that they know that they are getting a real reading.

So I took my second 2500 mg booster shot...which is a fairly low dosage and have been testing everyday and have had a positive test everyday. Today I am at +5 testing and 14dpo, and I got another positive.  Right now I have 2 more days that are "FALSE POSITIVE" days supposedly...should I expect that the line should have dissappeared and come back? 

I'm really hopeful, which I feel like I shouldn't be.  I POAS a few days after the first booster and didn't get a false positive though so I'm hoping it might be some of my own HCG that is driving the positive tests. 

So I guess I'm wondering if anyone knows what the norm is?  Anybody take a low dose booster and have the effects go away sooner? 

 Thanks.

    Hi hrock, you crazy POAS'er ;)  If I were in your shoes (which I basically was this cycle), I would respectfully suggest not getting your hopes up until you get definitive negative results, THEN a BFP.  I just spent the past 4 days on a total emotional roller coaster because I had positive home urine HCGs last week that I thought were true positives, only to go in for a serum HCG and get the call on Friday that it was stone cold negative.  So, I completely emphatize with your need to know early, I really, really do, but PLEASE just try to stay calm and wait it out.  In answer to your questions, I'm sorry to say that I don't know how long a booster will last in your system, I just wanted to reply with my own cautionary tale.  I have my FX for you and I really hope you get your true BFP this cycle!

    Darn...I'm sorry your bloodtest was a negative...and believe me I know I am usually a pessimist or a don't want to jinx it type but I think it was the Nurse from my RE's office who is never very positive being more so than usual that taught me to hope.  Well I'm going to try to remain hopeful that I get 3 more days of +'s and then I may be in the clear.  At least AF hasn't shown up just yet.
