Anyone know how long the trigger shot stays in your system?

[Hoping4Baby2]

I did my shot 7/16 at 11 PM, and an OPK showed a faint line. I'm sure it is the remnants of the shot, but I'm seriously making myself crazy this 2ww!!! One more thing to obsess about! LOL!

Tonight I'll be 9DP shot and 7 DPIUI.

This is my first IUI cycle and first time with the shot and progesterone supps. I have had cramping since right before and after the IUI (still have twinges and cramps through today, though not as much). This weekend I started feeling nauseous, had a headache all day Saturday. I'm tired - so tired that I took a 2+ hour nap Saturday - and I never nap. My little BB's feel full, heavy and sore. I had the progesterone BW that confirmed OV last Friday and I go in for my next BW to determine if I'm preggers this Friday (I'll be 11 DPIUI). I'm trying to hold out POAS until Friday - and if the trigger shot is hanging in my system still, what would be the point in testing, right? I had thought about POAS Thursday so that I wouldn't have to hold it in all day while DH is at work - I could just jump back in bed and tell him if by some chance we're lucky this month. I don't want to tell him over the phone if I can help it, but I know he'll be calling me Friday afternoon wondering what the BW results are.

Been TTC #2 for over 3 years now and this is literally the LONGEST 2WW I've had. Going bonkers!!!

Help!

Hi dear

I'm not quite sure, but I think you can get a faint positive on an hpt for a maximum of 7-10 days, but I don't have a lot of experience with this...

I'm also in my 2ww after my first IUI and I totally understand how you're feeling I've been testing with cheapies to keep track of the trigger shot (and because I wanted to finally see two lines on a test even tho they weren't real ) and the second line is barely there 4 days after my trigger shot and 2 days after my IUI.

I wish you the best of luck and I really hope you get your BFP this month!! I'll be keeping my fingers crossed for you!

 

[Hoping4Baby2]

I wish I had done the same with the cheapies to test this out.

I hope you get your BFP too! When are you testing?

 

[zanDark]

Our doctor told me to test next Tuesday....but that will only be 10dpiui and I'm not sure if it's too soon.

I'm trying to stay positive...but i can't stand the thought of another bfn.

Hello ladies~

With the IUI that got me pregnant with twins, I got a nice line at 10dpiui I have heard that by Day 10, the trigger shot is out of your system.
I am also in the 2WW since I just had the IUI done this past Saturday! So I'm 2 dpiui and 4 days past trigger shot.
I went to Walmart today and bought 6 boxes of pregnancy tests. Each box contains 2 tests, so I'm ready! LOL! I told hubby I would start to POAS on Saturday, which will be 7 dpiui.

Keeping my fingers crosses!

I am on almost the same cycle as you - my trigger shot was 7/15 and the IUI was done on the 16th. I took a cheapie hpt on 6 days after the trigger shot and there was the faintest line possible, and then I took another hpt 8 days after the shot and the line was completely gone.

My doc doesn't have me coming back for bloodwork until Aug 4th but there's no way I can hold out that long, so I'll be testing starting Weds.

Good luck!

You are definitely ready! LOL! My doc is testing me Friday - I'll be 11 DPIUI. Here's my *disagreement* with DH... he wants me to just wait for the doc appt and bloodwork... but then if it's a BFP, what do I do, call him at work? I like the idea of being with him when I find out (sounds corny?) He's going to be calling me all afternoon I'm sure (he's anxious too of course - although MUCH less obsessive than I am) so I wanted to POAS Thursday (10DPIUI) but don't want to face the BFN either if I test too early. Ugh... decisions, decisions. He wants me to wait so I don't torture myself more than I am. As if that's possible! LOL!

 

[Bepaisley]

I think it depends on your metabolism. I got a faint positive my first IUI 11 days past trigger and got so excited cuz I was sure it'd be out of my system by then. Unfort it was still the trigger :/ so just be careful, Id wait a few more days, I think testing the day before (on Thursday) u should get accurate results with no confusion, good luck!

Now, I can only tell you what I WOULD, do

I would pee on that stick so fast girl....LOL! If you get a BFP, then it gives you a little bit of time to think of how you will tell hubby when the "official" BFP comes out....
Drive to his workplace and put a teddy bear in the front seat maybe? Just a thought...
If it is a BFN, then you can have "your moment" to yourself and have a good cry, (that's what I would do), and then "rev up" for the next round.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not suggesting you hide anything from hubby, I'm just saying that it's ok for you to have "that moment" to yourself Does that makes sense?

I'm so excited for you!!! I wish you a Big Friggin' Positive!!!!

I agree Bepaisley! Mine was probably stronger because I was pregnant with twins and just didn't know at the time I was testing. All I know, is everyone was commenting on how dark my line was at 10dpiui Such great memories

You're hilarious! So sweet! Love that idea - yes, that is what I'm thinking... a moment to think of how I want to tell him if I am lucky enough to get that BFP. And if its a BFN... I want to have a big ole pity party. OK, so I'm trying to hold out to Thursday... FX for all of us! When are you testing?

I'm forcing myself to wait until Saturday, so that will make me 7 dpiui and 9 days past the trigger shot.
I can't wait!! Hubby keeps telling me he has good vibes.....but then again, he's Mr. PolyAnna himself

I plan on using all of them 12 tests...oh yesiree I am!! So I will be POAS 12 days in a row!!

[prunepie]

this is a warning post... dont go through what i just went through.

normally my trigger is totally out by 9 dptrigger.


soooo i tested this suday. total postive. i almost cried! i even emailed my doctor and asked if it could be the trigger and he said no...so i was so excited!
5 different tests that day were pretty decent lines.

the next morning went for an early beta( the next am the hpt lines were gone)

the beta was 0.

i will NEVER ever trust a test again until 10 or 11 dptrigger ever ever again!!!! it was heartbreaking...just an fyi ...but good luck xoxoxoxo

Awwwwww prunepie! That's almost cruel in some ways huh? I'm so sorry Honey!

Yes, normally they say 10dpo is usually when the trigger shot is no longer in your system. One day can certainly make a difference, I'm just so sorry it wasn't a positive for you. Blah!

Remain strong and "rev up" for your next cycle
Many blessings to you xoxoxo
