Trigger shot confusion

Hi! My husband and I have been TTC for around 3 years now. I don't ovulate by way of PCOS. This past cycle we got a lot of things fixed at one time, and I ovulated for the first time. I received 10000 ml (?) of pregnyl on day 14, 11/11/15. Last week on day 22 and 23 I took a dollar store pregnancy test and tested negative, which brought me to the assumption the shot was out of my system. Today, 11 days after trigger, I tested with a FRER and got the faintest line. Is there a possibility that is from the trigger even though I had two negatives 2,3 days before that? My husband thinks so, and I just don't know as this was my first trigger. Any advice/help? I will be taking another tomorrow with fmu as this was mid day today. Thank you!

    It's probably out of your system, but you won't know for sure until you wait a few more days.  Whenever I've had the trigger shot, I just presumed that I wouldn't be able to use the FRER, period.

    Tomorrow, test with the dollar store test.  You already know you tested the shot out with it.  If you get a squinter, then you can be excited. :)

    Last month my trigger was still in my system up to a few days before my missed period. I'm having that same confusion now, but I'm 11dpo. I tested yesterday and today and had very faint lines. Confused on whether or not it's trigger or the real deal. FX in your case it is the real deal :) I would definitely keep testing and see if the line gets any darker.

    So, my nurse said the trigger can definitely still be in your system up to 14dpo. You getting a negative before a BFP could be a good sign though. FX for you.

    The half life of the trigger shot is 5.6 hours but it can vary individually. It's out of most everyone's system in 5-10 days. I agree to see if you get a positive on the same test you tested negative on. Unfortunately it's a waiting game. I'm 15 days post trigger so I'm hoping my BFP is real but...
