Trigger or Me???

Hello everyone,

So on 7/31 I was given a trigger shot then IUI on 8/2 and well curiosity got the best of me yesterday(7dpiui/9dpt)  & I took a HPT ($tree) and it was a faint BFP...I didn't get too excited cause I knew it was probably the trigger... Well today after work (24hrs later) I took another one and it was still a faint BFP(same as yesterday)..and when I say faint I don't mean barely visible..it's noticible!! But anyway, so now I'm wondering since it's been 10 days past trigger can it be a true BFP?? Or still just the trigger? Wouldn't it have fadded from one day to the next?

I would love your opinions please!!!! I of course plan on testing with FMU tomorrow.. But just curious what others think? I haven't told DH yet...not until I know it's real!!

WOW, you must be REALLLLLLY fertile to be able to get pregnant!!!! :)  In reality, we only need, one lil egg, & one lil spermy = bb!!!  Thats amazing!  I bet you get pregnant w/out IVF!!!
I also did acupuncture twice this month, so I'm HOPING this helped!

I tested again just now held my pee for just 4 hours, couldn't hold it anymore!  & it was BFN, which AGAIN I completely expected it!  I'm 9DPO like you, & w/5 out of 6 pregnancies I NEVER got a + testing before 12DPO NEVER.  & I've had 3 kids.

I guess I just like feeling CRAZY!!! LOL & I wanna keep pregnancy stick CO.'s in business in this tough economy! hahaha!

BUT I am DONE for reals testing early, I feel like I got it out of my system (I think!) & I plan on buying 2 more Friday to test Friday & Saturday, cuz if I'm NOT then I want to get off of the prog. so AF can come!

Keep me posted!  I'm sooooooo glad I'm not alone!  I have good friends/family but unless your going through this, it just isn't the same!

My trigger shot wears off around 10 or 11 DPO. I have had false BFP on 9 DPO and BFN by 11. Good luck!!!!!

Well you've sure been through enough! I pray you get your well deserved BFP soon!!

I too had my first DS(13) with no problems...(only had sex a few times & BAM).. Then I try & do it the right way..get married &  have kids... And then I'm diagnosed with PCOS! I don't even O on my own! So go see a RE & find out my DH has a low sperm count too! My RE recommends IVF w/ ICSI to have any chance at conceiving! But before that of course you have all kinds of testing to do...so in the mean time we do a IUI with 100mg clomid & trigger...I develop 4 great follies! DH post wash was only 1 mil so RE says it's mostly likely not gonna work..(but planning on doing IVF anyway) Well turns out I'm pregnant!!! I have DS in Nov 07..
Sooo, we decided to try 1 more time before DH gets out of the military.. So we go back to the same RE & he suggests to do what worked last time. I get AF July 4th start 100mg clomid day 5-9, didn't produce any follies, then he says my lining is still good so instead of waisting a month just start femera right away for 5 days..still no follies! My lining is still good so then I do the clomid again with gonal-f & finally get 1 follie so we do the IUI... DH post wash was only 1.5 mil (but its .5 more than last time) & here I wait................... LOL

So I tested again this morning..it's still BFP....BUT it's a little lighter than yesterday! :(

BUT I am only 9dpiui so it's still super early! I guess that's why they tell us to wait to test huh???

& my skin is acting up, & normally don't break out before AF, if I do it's usually between AF & O
Also, my hubby's sperm count is great!  1st IUI 54 Mil. & 2nd IUI 41 Mil both after 2 wash's.  SOOOOOOO if I DON'T get pregnant, its ALL ME!!!!! Grrrrrrrrrr

But I am hoping to get a BFP in a few days :)

I have 3 kids naturally  w/no problems (ooohhh, those were the days :)  & since I turned 40 in June & in this past year alone, I have had 2 mc's 1 was blighted ovem, one a missed mc @ 11 weks, lap surgery w/removal of left ovary & left tube cuz of a giant CYST, & a DnC in Feb. cuz of my missed mc. (a little back round LOL)

So last month I did for the first time Gonal-F 150 for 7 nights, then triggered & we did timed intercourse. I had 3 big follies matured & a big fat ugly BFN! :<

This month I did the same but they were growing a bit faster so I only did it for 6 nights, triggered then 24 hours later had 1 IUI, then another 24 hours later a 2nd IUI.
The first one on 8/1 I had not O yet, then about 3 hours or so after I began to have O pain that lasted about 8 hours, not as bad as the month before thoug.  I had 2 follies for sure, maybe 3 that O'd.
The 2nd IUI I had obviously O already, but they could tell it had not been that long (probably 12 hours before or so)
I am on that compound vag prog. supp.'s 400 x2  
My gums have been sore & my boobs have more veins & they don't "hurt" but I can feel them...make sense?
& I just feel like I''m pregnant, but it could totally be the prog.  IK my trigger is out, last month it was out by like day 7 or 8 too.
I don't think we will be doing another round of meds again, so this just might be it :-/

It's so time consuming, & mentally & emotionally consuming, not to mention no insurance coverage makes it not too cheap.......IK it's much less than IVF, but 2 months of this & it's probably been easily $3,000.  & when I have good insurance that stinks I can't use it!  I might just find another RE that is part of my group...IDK.........

No, my RE doesn't do any further testing on me until I get my BFP (or AF)..

I plan on buying the "real" tests later on, I just figured I'd use the cheapies now (thinking they would be BFN)  

Did you use the trigger shot also? What meds did you take?  I used clomid 100mgs (failed) Femera (failed) then clomid again combined w/ gonal-f (finally 1 great follie) & of course the wonderful trigger shot!

We are on the exact DPO & I broke down today too, cuz I feel like I'm pregnant (could be all the stuff I'm on!!!) & I took the Early FR today & all I got was a good GHOST line :(  BUT 8DPO is WAYYYYYY too arly & I knew it, but just was soooo stinken curious...darn it! LOL
But I'll tell ya, it has made me really crabby seeing that BFN, I wish I hadn't taken it!  

Maybe you are pregnant (I hope so!) but I would get the real ones cuz I've heard on these forms here, that the $$$$ are not very reliable.
Keep me posed!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Did you have your CD21 prog. test done?  If you did, what was it?

ps I'm going to TRY to not do my 2nd HPT til Thursday, (hmmmm, don't know if I can CONTROL myself!) I'll be 11DPO, which that is early too!  I've always gotten a + from 12DPO + never before.
