TTC Question: Trigger Shot

[wittyandwaiting]

So folks, I didn't test the trigger out, I never have but now I kinda (totally) want to POAS.

Any of you have experience with testing the trigger out? I know it's not an exact science but just looking for an idea of how long it took before the trigger was out of your system.

Thanks in advance!

No experience, but I would say the closer you are to beta day, the safer you are its gone. BUT there's always the oddball who has it in their system all the way to BETA, so it's tricky...

Good luck!! When is beta???

If it were me, I would POAS

[manada]

I would say by 10 days post the trigger (so 8-9dpo?) the trigger should be gone.

Good luck.

Did you use the 10,000 HCG trigger shot or the one with a lot less HCG in it (can't remember the brand name)? The less HCG in your trigger shot, the less likely it is to be in your system now.

(I know that's not that helpful!)

Ugh, waiting is so nerve racking! I tested 2 or 3 days before 28 day cycle mark and got a positive when I was pregnant. I called the office and the nurse Pracitioner was super excited for me. Then later the OB called and said she didn't want me to get my hopes up and that it might be the trigger. That was nerve racking. I was pregnant though I think it is normally out of system by then but some bodies may metabolize it differently than others. So she probably didn't want me to get really excited when it wasn't definite.

I did it in January, and it was gone eight days later.

Good luck!

Seriously- PEEEEEEE on all the sticks!

My trigger was always out by 11 days past trigger- 9.5 dpiui. My trigger shots were all 10,000 HCG. I longer you wait though the more reliable that second line will be!

[wittyandwaiting]

I'm here!!! I'm sorry that I asked a question and then disappeared; I forgot my phone at home and this site is blocked at my work.

Thanks for responding and all the good luck everybody! You are the best!

I'm 11dp trigger and 10dpiui; Beta is supposed to be Tuesday but I am going in Monday.

I used Ovidrel...I don't know the dose...

It sounds like I'll be safe it I do it tomorrow......I'm trying to get C on team pee because she is anti-POAS but I feel like I neeeeeed to this month.

I'm a 28 day-er too. This gives me hope that it's not too early.

Keep us posted!!

Fingers crossed for you!

The first time I tested out my trigger it took 10 days to leave my system. This last time it tested out at 9 days. They say it differs on women but typically for every 1,000 units in your short it takes a day to come out of your system. Usually the trigger shot consists of 10,000 unit.

I couldn't get C on team POAS but Beta is this morning!!!! Fingers Crossed.

So???
I am excited waiting for your news!

[wittyandwaiting]

Negative. Bummer news. But…… I get to try again. And I feel very motivated by the BFP's and pregnancies I read about on this board.

Lame! wittyandwaiting, thinking of you and hope your vacation is the recharge you need for April!!
