Infertility

Testing Poll

Okay ladies, I have been trying to decide whether or not I am going to test out my trigger so that I can test early or wait for beta day. DH and I are still undecided. I am curious as to if you have tested out your trigger and test early before or plan to or if you are waiting for beta day. [Poll]

    I've tested out my trigger so that when I decide to test, if it's positive, I wont have any doubts.
    3 ectopic pregnancies (EDD's 1/30/12-tube removed, 6/2/12-methotrexate and 10/2/12-methotrexate)
    IVF and Natural FET resulted in BFN's and a hole in our wallets
    Natural BFP #4 on 9/7/12 gave us our miracle on 5/18/13

  • I didn't test out my trigger since it can get kind of expensive with testing that often.  That said, I read that on average it takes 1 day for every 1000 units of HCG in your trigger.  I think the common trigger is 10k HCG.  So I waited 10 days before POAS.  I could never wait for my beta.  If I get a positive, I'd rather be at home sharing it with DH.  If I get a negative, I don't want to be at work when I hear the news.

    Well, if it takes on average 1 day for every 1000 units it will be in my system longer than the average person because I took 20,000 units. Hopefully, it leaves quicker because if this holds true the day I go in for beta will be the last day it is in my system. This is another point for atleast testing out the trigger. Maybe I will at least test out the trigger and decide the rest as time progresses.
