Couldn't resist HPT 8 days post trigger

Alright so this is my first IUI cycle. Clomid 50mg 59. 8/29 Wed lead follicle was 21 LH wasn't high enough so Dr. instructed to have one more blood work done before trigger shot. Blood work done 08/30 Thurs and trigger shot administered 8:30p. IUI was done 8:00am 09/01 Sat. So today is 8 days post trigger shot and 6dpiui. I couldn't resist and tested today hpt was a bfp but I'm not sure if it's a false positive and the trigger shot is still in my system. 5dpiui my nurse called to let me know my progesterone was 12 not great considering it was a medicated cycle but she said it indicated that I ovulated this cycle. She scheduled me to come in Saturday 09/15 from my bloodwork. I'm not sure if my symptoms are 'true' or just Ovidrel induced TMI warning but I have very sensitive...actually VERY sore nipples, twinges/cramping only on one side similar to ovulation pain, fatigue, recently a bit 'emotional'. Gosh I think I tested way too soon. Maybe I should just keep testing the trigger shot until it leaves my system until its negative then hopefully a bfp next week before my scheduled bloodwork. My husband and I watched the hpt together and after we had to talk ourselves down and say we still have until next week to get the definite yes or no. What do you think I should since I tested too soon? Keep testing the trigger shot OR just wait until the bloodwork next Saturday? Thanks in advance for sharing your experiences and sending good baby vibes to everyone!

    I did the same thing on one of my IUI cycles and it was a false positive which I knew going in. I waited a few more days and tested again. That time BFN. If you can wait for blood work do it. It's so stressful wondering if it's real or not. If you can't wait for blood try waiting at least a few more days.
    GL either way!!!! Baby dust!!

    Unlikely to be a true positive at only 6dpiui. My trigger always stuck around until 13-14dpt, but others have it leave their system before then. Symptoms mean little...can just as easily be attributed to medicated hormone levels.

    I always tested the trigger out (or at least tested until beta.) Hard to get a definitive from hpts, unless they get dark shortly before beta. My advice is to assume all faint positives are trigger related. GL! 

    4 IUIs: Bfn
    Antagonist IVF 7 retrieved, 4 fert w/ICSI&AH, 2 blasts transferred. Beta #1 9/20: 367 Beta #2 9/22: 841

    How many units in the trigger shot? I've heard that it can leave your system at about 1,000 units per day. I don't know how true this isit's just something I heard. My trigger shot was. 7,500 units, so I wouldn't test until 8 days after trigger.

    Just an example...

    Waiting two weeks? So freaking hard!!!!

    I know that it is the worst 2 weeks ever, I went through it last month and it was torture.  Everything seems to be a sign and it drives you crazy.  I hope that it did work for you.  You might have tested too soon but that does not mean it did not work.  Unfortunatly, only time will tell.  Good luck!  I hope that it worked for you!

    Thanks so much everyone for all your input =) I really appreciate it. I wish I remembered how many units my trigger shot was for the Ovidrel but I don't =( oh wells no used back tracking for at this point. It's just going to be a long week until my blood work. I guess I'll have work and school to keep my mind off it. Thanks so much again ladies =)

    Alright just a recap I had my trigger shot Thurs 8/30 CD18 at 8:00p, IUI#1 Sat 9/1 CDCD20 at 8:00a, my lead follicle was 21 in my left ovary clear tubes, DH's 7mil not a great number but RE said it was a good number. I tested on Fri 9/7 CD26 6dpiui hpt was bfp figured Ovidrel was still in my system. I tested again this morning Sun 9/9 CD28 8dpiui hpt bfn so I'm assuming Ovidrel is out my system. Going to wait a few more days to test again before my bloodwork on Saturday. Still having cramping & super sensitive nipples (tmi sorry). Hoping & praying this cycle works.
