Trigger shot or BFP??

Question

I’m 13 dpiui/ 14dpt and have been getting faint + since 10dpiui. I’m so nervous it might still be the trigger. I took half a dose of the 10,000iu pregnyl trigger a day before the iui. I’m not sure if half a dose will leave your body sooner or not. RE told me to wait until blood test tomorrow. Today’s test seems lighter to me so it’s making me worried that it’s just the trigger still in my system. Any thoughts??

Answer

I went through my own wondering about whether a positive is from the trigger or actual bpf. Be aware that first response tests are some of the most sensitive out there and can detect about 6 miU/ml whereas many others don't show positive until 25 miU/ml. Also,  don't put 100% stock in the darkness of the line on a test as there are many factors that can affect that. I drove myself crazy thinking I'd had a chemical pregnancy because the line was very faint the second day even when my blood hcg level was 77  the day before (I took another test as I wanted to see a darker line). As it turned out,  my levels were 148 on day 2 (13dpo) and 217 day 3 (14dpo). so I was increasing just as expected but the line didn't show that.  I have sworn off at home tests,  period,  after the stress I caused myself. I feel blessed that my IUI worked,  and I wish you only happiness and baby dust!

Answer

Looks like trigger- keep testing :)

Answer

Do you progression pics of all the tests?  No way to know from just two tests.  If the lines have been getting darker since 10 DPO that is a good sign.  Lines in a typical pregnancy should get darker in a 48 hr period at least.
