Trigger Shot Question - HELP!

Hi friends, I have a question for all of you who have had trigger shots in the past. How long has the trigger stayed in your system? The first few times I was given a 10,000 iu trigger shot, I used internet cheapies in order to test out the trigger. I started the day after the trigger shot and tested each day until the line disappeared. Each time, I had a negative test by 8 days after the trigger shot. Still, I've read that on average, the rule of thumb is that about 1000 units leave your body per day, so a 10,000 unit shot would take about 10 days to leave your system.

So just out of curiosity, I was wondering if any of you have ever tested out your trigger shots? Have you ever had a false positive as late as 12 days past your trigger shot? I've read on some forums that some women still have enough trigger in their system as late as 13 days past trigger or longer, but I'm wondering how likely that is. I'm not ready to explain exactly why I'm asking, but I would really appreciate any feedback on this!

  1. When I tested this trigger theory, the 2nd line was gone by day 8-9. I hope this is a good thing for you!!!

  2. Oh, and my doc told me the same thing...1,000 units/day.

  3. I've never tested the trigger out, so I'm no help. I am looking forward to hearing WHY you are wondering though :)

  4. I was just told a week to 10 days on average. That is the average though, I've heard of it taking 12 days. It is like everything else, every body and how it reacts to meds is going to be completely different. If you're wondering if you could actually be pregnant, it is possible to go from a positive from the trigger right into positive from pregnancy w/o it ever going a chance to go to negative in between. Good luck!!! And keep testing.

  5. My doctor said it takes between 8-10 days to be out of your system. I had to be taken to the ER for OHSS on 8 days past IUI and the hcg was at 8, they tested me again the next day and it was 0. So for me I am guessing it is all gone by 9 days...but it could vary with the same person from month to month. My fingers are crossed for you!
