I have questions for those of you who do HCG trigger.
Do you test out the trigger? If so, when do you start? Does your RE recommend testing out or caution against it?
I've done five Ovidrel shots and haven't tested out for any of them. I don't have any cheap HPTs and I try to wait until close to 2 weeks before testing. I've never asked my RE about it.

I tested out my trigger the first time because I wanted to see what two lines looked like. Sad, I know. I also taped the little wondfos in a notebook like a huge nerd and watched the line fade out. I think I started the day after trigger.
After that I realized I don't care, especially since I am doing blood betas and not drinking. My RE doesn't care either way.

I would either test out the trigger or wait until you're past your normal LP. One time I tested at 12 or 13 days post trigger and got a faint BFP. I didn't know if it was from the trigger or if it was a CP. I got a BFN the next day and yeah… it sucked.

Thanks emilie, cateyes, dke2010. Although I did the trigger last cycle too, we had to cancel the cycle, so I knew there was no sense in testing out the trigger. I'm 5dpt (4dpiui) of a pretty promising cycle. Maybe I'll test out the trigger starting at 7dpiui. Or maybe 7 dpt. GRRR. I don't know.
Cat, take time to feel exactly how you're feeling. For myself, I will say I'm pretty excited for you! Glad you're finally off that stinky bench.

Thanks. I think if I do decide to test out the trigger, I will have to start early enough that I can't mistake it for anything else. The last thing I want to do is cause myself confusion.

We never discussed testing out the trigger with the RE, I just decided to do it on my own.
I had a bunch of Wondfos burning a hole in my bathroom drawer (seriously, I had like fifty of those suckers), so I just tested each morning until the trigger disappeared, starting the day after trigger. They were all negative by 5-7DPO.
For me, I know I'd make excuses about how a BFP would actually be the trigger (and I wanted to see two lines like emilie), so to erase that hesitation/confusion/excuse, I test out my triggers.

Yeah I think as long as you start testing it out before 9DPO you'll be good. Good luck!

Thanks love. That's what I love about the support in this little IF community, even when you're struggling with your own hope, you have all the hope and excitement for each of the ladies here. Thank you very much, it means a lot!

cateyes, Yay for your appt! FX for you during this cycle! Daikoku, my doctor tells me not to take a pregnancy test because they do betas and I "may get a false positive". Well, I've done enough research to know what they're talking about. I don't test out my trigger because I don't want to see two lines until it's the real deal. I do test at home the day before or the day of the betas just so I know what to expect. Crying at home is better than crying on the phone.
