Testing out the trigger...

I got my trigger shot this morning at 11:30 and stopped by the dollar store and picked up a few tests, ran some errands and got home around 3. I couldn't help but test I'm so curious. Of course it was positive. My first ever positive. Even though it's fake, and really really light, it's still pretty damn cool :)

So when can I get a real BFP? When will the trigger be out of my system? Should I test it out to be positive it's not the trigger or should I just wait until I miss my period? Thanks ladies for any info you have!

    haha, I will be testing out my trigger too. I just want to see those 2 damn lines!

    I have no idea how long it takes for the trigger to leave your system. I want to say by 7 or 8 days it's gone though. I will for sure be testing along the way and not waiting for AF to show, but I'm a POAS addict like that. 

    I hope you get your real BFP soon!

    I think the general rule is 1 day per 1000 units (whatever the units are). so most triggers are 10,000 units, although some trigger with 5,000. I would say- by 11dp trigger you should see a real negative, although I wouldn't trust a positive on that day- it could go either way.

    OK, You guys got me to thinking after reading this. LOL! All these cycles I've done, I've never tested after the trigger... So I just had to try it, it was 2 lines (first time I've ever seen that, and yeah it was really cool to see).. But I triggered on May 31st so it's definitely not out of my system.....  Not that I'd complain if it truly was a BFP!!!   

    Crossing my fingers for ALL OF US!!!!!  :)

    Everyone's systems break down hCG at a different rate, so if you want to be sure it's gone, you should test it out. Mine typically are still there 10 days past trigger.

    Thanks for posting this.  I was curious too and I know it's been on here before. But, I forgot to pay attention. This was my first cycle when using a trigger. Mine was June 1st. I think I will start testing it out next week?  Well see, I'm not very hopeful right now. Lots of issues still. But, who knows, I may be shocked at what my body will do?

    Hope it's ok that I respond to this.  OP had PAIFW in her siggy so I think it's ok. 

     

    I'm a slow trigger metabolizer so even though I took a 5,000 i.u trigger, I still had some residual trigger 10-11 DPT.  Half life of the trigger is ~29 hours so it actually also depends on the sensitivity of the tests you're using.

     

    This past month (when I got my BFP) I tested my trigger and it went very light/non-existent 10 DPT (second test from the top) and then started to come back.  I couldn't find any good pictures of triggers that became BFPs so I took pictures of mine if you're interested.
