I'm not sure what this means? Can you explain further?
Trigger injections (hCG shots). I took one a few days ago and am testing it out with HPTs, so I know when is out of my system.
I've been using Wondfos so far, but they stayed light and are only getting lighter. I'm not sure if they'll pick up the rest of the trigger from here on, because of how insensitive they are. At only 4dpt, I'm getting super squinters and triggers supposedly stay in your system for a week, minimum.
So do I use something else, like Walmart or Dollar Tree tests? That's what I'm wondering.
Tl;dr I question Wondfos' reliability for testing out my trigger and wonder if I should try a more reliable brand tomorrow.
I use Wondfo for triggers. I've had a couple cycles where the trigger was gone after 5 days and some where it takes 10. If you're gonna use Wondfo to real test, I think you're safe once you have a negative even if you still have a little hcg left. If you think you're gonna use something more sensitive, you might want to test with that brand to make sure the trigger is gone.

Can I vent? (Possible triggers-OPP mentioned)
My sister is pregnant and my mom told me today that she told her she assumed I/we would be throwing her some sort of baby shower FOR BABY #4! Her youngest is 2.5 and apparently she didn't keep any of her stuff. I'm totally not planning on throwing or attending a 4th baby shower. I was planning on getting her a gift still but I just don't understand why she thinks she gets another baby shower.
I am on day 5 of this cold/suspected sinus infection. Now I've added Tussin DM to my decongestant and Advil. I am trying to make it to Wednesday when I have a doctor's appointment. This sucks!

Because every baby gets a shower! !!!!!!!!!!!!!111!1!!1!1!!!!1!1!1!1
I also don't want to pry and you don't have to answer, butlerfan, but what comments has your MIL been saying to you?
[br
It's mostly about having kids and nitpicking everything and continuing to push even when asking her to stop. She doesn't know we are trying but still.
Some examples include: we need a book since we don't know to apparently how to have sex to have a baby. She has told this to 3rd party people.
We are too old do we want to be 60 when our kids would be out of high school? (I am 32 so math doesn't add up)
When I was unemployed and going though some court issues "we should have kids then since I wasn't working"
We are in the process of taking over their house and she won't let things go so things like self inviting herself for 2 weeks and then criticizing where I have moved items or keep things.
Each one seperate might be ok but they pile up and when we have discussed this in the past she thinks we are being over dramatic. And then the cycle starts again.
I can totally see how that can be frustrating on your end. My MIL said the same thing about being unemployed and that I might as well have a baby then. It took a lot of restraint not to roll my eyes. But honestly, to keep the peace, I'd let these things roll off my back. The things she's saying are annoying and insensitive, but if you've talked to her about this before and she hasn't changed, I'm not sure what another conversation would do.
Has anyone around here tested out triggers? What tests do you use?
I tested out mine with Wondfos. If I remember right it was basically gone by 6DP, the lines were really faint for the last couple of days.
Edit: in case this matters, mine do not say Wondfo on the package or anything, I guess they are some no-name brand, but they look the same as Wondfos, so I just call them that since it is simpler.
I got to shop at Target by myself today. It was lovely Went in to get H a dvd for Christmas. Came out with $50 worth of other shit and no dvd. Damn you Target!

penguin129 that's what my mom said. But we did that for her with her 3rd so we've done something for her three times already. Maybe I'm just being a bitch but it just seems selfish to me for her to expect that.

Ugh. No. Why would some expect a shower for a fourth baby?! That is just nuts. What did your mom say about it?
ETA Just saw your post above about what your mom thinks! I agree it is selfish to expect it.

My mom wants to do something for her, just not a full-blown shower. She said she would hate for this baby to think she wasn't loved because there's no celebration. I think that's stupid because the people in her life will obviously be the ones that show her love as she grows up, not an event that takes place before she's born.

Showers aren't to celebrate the baby. The baby isn't even born. They are supposed to welcome the mother to motherhood and celebrate the event in HER life not the baby's. I've never met anyone who felt unloved because their mom didn't get a baby shower ...

Exactly. If it was a celebration for the baby, then shouldn't the baby actually be there?

kayladawn91 you aren't being irrational, your sister is being ridiculous. Is this a surprise baby? If it isn't and she was always planning a fourth it's her own damn fault that she gave everything away.
My older sister just had her second and she didn't get another shower, nor did she expect one.

Some days I *really* need to step away from social media before I yell:
"You already had a courthouse wedding, so you are not now having a "real" ceremony in front of your family an friends." She even had changed her maiden name to her married name about 8 months ago.
"Real men make girls" hashtag on a post after finding out they were expecting girl #4. I can't even with that.
I also can't believe the posts about the second tier invites my cousin in law has posted in her Facebook wedding event. She did send out real invites, but posting "to those who are invite after the ceremony, dinner, and drink portion can show up around 9 for dancing." Like wth? I thought more of you then that.
I know people are allowed to post what they want, but damn some things are so annoying I want to pull my hair out. And yell at them.

WTF to all of that easilyunamused but a huge WTF to inviting different people to different parts of the wedding! So tacky! It reads like "Come dance with us but I won't feed you or give you drinks but put your gift right over there" to me.

I know! Especially when you point out to all the other guests that they are more important than the pions that get to come later. I really expected more out of this couple, but sometimes people just don't realize how rude they are being.
I'm going to this wedding next weekend and I need to keep my opinions to myself though. My "judging of others" to normal etiquette has been discussed before in the family.
