Pregnant after a Loss

For ladies who used a trigger shot, come in please.

On Monday February 27th, I had a 10,000 unit hCG shot.  I've been testing out my trigger since last Tuesday (7dp trigger).  My tests got lighter and lighter until I could only see a shadow of a line while holding it up to the bathroom light.  Well yesterday my test line looked a little darker.  My IC was a little darker this morning and darker this afternoon @13dp trigger.

I'm trying to not get too ahead of myself here.  I know everyone's bodies metabolize things differently and realize I could be the weirdo who STILL has a trigger in their system @13dp trigger.  I know basic rule of thumb is one day= about 1,000 units of hCG leaving your system... which would put me in the clear by 10dp trigger, give or take a couple days.

I'm just nervous because if this is a BFP, I'm spotting.  Just some brown when I wipe but clearly that's enough to cause a panic.  Thank you in advance for any experiences you can share with me!

ETA:  I do realize that the darkness of the line is not an indicator of 'how much' hCG you have in your system (either from trigger or pregnancy), but it's hard to not be a little hopeful when they're getting darker, KWIM?

Re: For ladies who used a trigger shot, come in please.

  • I did not use a trigger shot, but wanted to throw in some happy vibes for a hopeful BFP :)  FX! and lots of love to you!  Don't worry about the spotting if it's just brown, I spotted early on and obviously it freaked me out to no end...but I'm still here... ((hugs))

  • My lines were out by 8dp. 

    Id say it's a very very good sign that your lines are getting darker at 13dpo.

    Get thee in for betas!!!

  • OMG, I have everything crossed for you!!
    It was a rough road, but Arlo Daniel was born April 1, 2013—and our second rainbow is due October 12, 2014.
  • Buckeye- That's awesome news!  I've been totally chart stalking you lately!  I did the same trigger, and it was out of my system by 8-9days past.  It never got darker (and obviously I never was KU).   Sounds like you're KTFU to me!

  • I have no advice, but just wanted to tell you I have everything crossed for you!
  • Thanks for all the feedback ladies.  Last cycle my it was gone by 11dp trigger.  I'm scared that it is still my trigger or that it's not and I am pregnant.  Clearly, I hope it's the latter!

    I will be calling my REs office tomorrow, I hope the nurse isn't p!ssy with me for testing early (they told me to test Wednesday which would be 16dp trigger and 16dpo).  The only problem is I will not be able to get betas until Tuesday at the earliest because I have to go 'pick my job' after school and then go to calling hours for a friend who passed away.

  • Buckeye, I have no useful advice, but just wanted to jump in and say I hope this is baby HCG and not trigger HCG, and that this is your sticky baby!  I can't remember..are you on progesterone?  Will you be going in for a beta tomorrow? 

    Please keep us posted!! ((HUGS)) and FX that all turns out ok!

    I am on oral progesterone right now, but my RE said he's going to call in suppositories for me if/when I get a BFP.  Unless I can go to the hospital in the city where I work, I likely can't get betas until Tuesday.

  • I did a trigger shot and got my positive (very light) on 11dpo.  I thought the exact same thing until I kept on testing and the line kept getting darker.  I had my first beta on 14dpo and 119.  I think that this is a true positive!  Congratulations to you!

  • Thank you ladies for the congrats/well wishes/ experiences!  I'm trying SO hard right now to hold it until at least 6pm.  I am nearly positive I will barely sleep tonight in anticipation of an even darker line tomorrow.  So if this is the real deal, I'm hoping it's even darker tonight so maybe my brain will let me rest!

  • *huge hugs*I'm hopeful for you!  My trigger was gone at 11DPT and I got a BFP at 13DPT.  With a positive at 13DPT that's not with FMU I think that's a great indication that you're KU!

  • My trigger shots would hang on in my system - the cycle before the one that worked I still had a faint, faint line at 13 dp trigger.  But, if that line is getting darker it's not the trigger anymore!!!  That happened to me on my + cycle.  At 9 dpiui - 11 dp trigger I had a faint line.  2 days later my line was darker.  I was pregnant. 

    I so, so hope this means good things!!!!

    Yay for another positive! Hopefully your RE can get ou in ASAP!  FWIW, my test lines took about two days to noticeably get darker each time, so 9dpo and 10dpo looked the same, but 11dop finally looked a bit darker , then no darker on 12dpo, finally darker on 13dpo.  Maybe your pattern will be similar? Oh, and my beta on 9dpo was crazy low, like an 8 or something, but the doubling times ended up being great. That was why the lines were so faint is what my doctor told me. Not a bad beta, just low to start.
