True BFP 14 days after HCG trigger shot?

DianaChristineB

Hi ladies. I am lurking from the TTTC and TTCAL boards. It is 14 days past my trigger shot and 13dpIUI and this morning I got a very faint second line on a hpt. I'm concerned that because it was so light that it could be residual HCG from my trigger shot. Any opinions? Anyone else get a true BFP around the same time after a trigger? If so, was yours this faint and did you go on to have a healthy pregnancy? Any advice or experiences are greatly appreciated. Thanks!

No way it can still be trigger at this point!  Most people would test it out of their systems sooner than that, although I'm sure it's possible.  Congrats!  I tested positive BFPs with both IUI pregnancies at 10dpiui and trigger had already tested out of my system.

I triggered with Ovidrel and got a BFP at 13dpiui, it was the first time I tested.  It wasn't super dark but I wouldn't call it faint.  It sounds like you are pregnant, congrats!  Try a digital in the morning.

sounds like a bfp to me, congrats!

Thank you for your responses, ladies I was pretty sure that the trigger should have been out of my system by now, but I am troubled by how faint the bfp was. It's 13dpo and I'm just afraid that such a faint line means that's is a CP or something. I am very paranoid though after having experienced a loss almost 5 months ago... It's just hard to believe that I'll ever have good news. I kind of can't believe that I'm most likely PG!? Thanks again everyone.

I think you are def pregnant, trigger should be out by 10dp at the latest! Congrats! Try your best not to stress, enjoy this happy time!

what kind of test is it? do you know how much hcg it measures? i would schedule a beta asap. good luck!!

Congratulations!  My trigger was out by 1dp5dt. I started getting BFPs at 5dp5dt. FWIW, even with a beta over 200, my lines on Dollar Tree and FRER were still faint.

Also, when I used FRER with Gwen I got faint BFPs the day my beta was 65.  I was worried I was losing my BFP or something, so try to just get digitals and not worry about the color!

Thanks! It was an internet cheapie, sensitive to 20 miu/ml hcg. I plan on testing again over the weekend and if it's still positive I will call my doctor first thing Monday morning to schedule a beta.

Good idea. Thanks I am just so paranoid right now. I have not even told DH about my faint bfp yet...

Internet cheapys are awful.  I was preggo with twins and it wasn't even reading positive when the FRER was.....so don't worry about it being faint.  GL

I tested 12 and 13 days after ovulation and got a bfp. Usually the trigger would be out of your system by 10dpo. I was taking follistim then ovidril for trigger then doing the whole Crinone thing until I was about 10 weeks pregnant.

My pregnancy tests always came out faint within the 4-5th week of pregnancy. I went to the digital tests then just depended on the beta tests and its always a good sign of no cramping or bleeding. Now in my 2nd trimester with this one.

The best thing you can do is not to stress over this. I know how hard it is, trust me we have been thru the mill with ttc...tons of meds, stress, heartbreaking losses. I still get stressed out over small things and the safety and well being of my baby. Schedule your beta, go for a return beta in a couple days then if all is well schedule a early ultrasound for about 7 weeks. They really can't see much until then and even then it is just a little squid. By 10 weeks we saw the baby moving around like a lunatic. Best of luck to you.

Thanks again, ladies... I just tested with a FRER and it was a good solid line ( just not quite as dark as the control line). I also tested again with an internet cheapie and it was a little darker than yesterday. Now I definitely know it could not be the trigger. I will call my doc first thing Monday morning to schedule a beta. I am so nervous and trying not to let every tiny thing bother me. I am having a stomach ache right now and am trying not to get too worried... Agh. Anyhow, you ladies have been so helpful. I really really appreciate it.
