Trigger question

[cetcar]

Question for anyone who might have info-

Does anyone know/have experience with how fast the trigger leaves your system in an IUI vs IVF cycle?  Our RE had me using 1 Ovidrel shot for the IUIs, and I tested it out at around 7-8 days I think, but for the IVF, he had me take two.  Today is 12ish days past the trigger(s), took them Thursday the 23rd at 10PM, fair to say it's out?  (This time I didn't test it out)

Unfortunately I can't offer any advice from my own life on this one. When we did our IVF cycle, I took a 10,000 HCG shot as my trigger but we transferred to manada, so we didn't have to worry about testing out the trigger. And then when we did a frozen transfer, there was no trigger.

As you know, everyone metabolizes trigger shots differently so there are no guarantees.

I found this website that talks about testing time frames after different levels of the HCG shot, but I don't know how that comparest to the Ovidrel shot.

I know, I know. Not helpful. I want to be a pee pusher, but I also understand why you might be afraid of the trigger shot tripping a pregnancy test.

I have done a 1cc hCG trigger shot for the last pregnancy and for this one too.
I tested around 10 days past trigger last time and was out of my system. This time I tested around 9 days and it was out of my system.
I've read that it normally takes about 10 days for 1cc to be out of your system. For me it must be a little less.

So I think it is different in every person's body in terms of the absorption rate of the hCG and how quickly it leaves the system; however, I have heard that 10 days post trigger is average for an IVF cycle. With that being said, the only way to know for sure is to test it out (something I myself have never done)... otherwise, at this point a faint positive could be the tail end of the trigger OR the start of a faint positive. I myself would wait it out a couple more days just in case, but I tend to be overly conservative with such things. Please keep us posted!!!

We never tested out a trigger but I was always confident in the results from a HPT at 8dp5dt. That's the date we always tested, well except for this baby when I strong armed my wife into testing at 7dp5dt because I was so convinced it'd be negative.
