Testing out the trigger

Curious to know when people got the first clear negative if you tested out the trigger?

I took Ovitrelle 250 9 days ago and I am now 2dp5dt.

I did a test today as I wanted to be sure the trigger was gone from my system but there was a clear but faint second line.

Internet says it can stay for up to 10 days but the line was clear enough that I suspect it’ll be there for a few more days. I know that 2 days post transfer is too early for it to be an actual pregnancy result as body wouldn’t be producing HCG yet. So just feel a bit confused about having a clear positive at this stage and curious if some people just take longer to absorb the trigger?

Hi . It can take up to ten days for a trigger shot to clear. Just keep up with any prescribed medication, and test on the day recommended by your clinic gps luck. Diane

Hey! I’ve taken the same dosage and have had it stay in my system 12 days past. Other times it was out in 8 days. So just depends.

Hiya, thanks for your reply. I’m now 12 days past trigger, and have a clear second line. Can I ask what your line looked like at day 12 when it was trigger shot still? I’m really hoping this could be the start of a BFP rather than a very slow absorption of the trigger shot!

Mine was quite faint by that time. The time that I had a bfp it was clear line how you are describing. Hoping it’s the same for you!

Thanks for sharing, annoying it can take so long! I’m gonna just wait a few more days I think as I’ll be really upset seeing positives and not knowing whether they are trigger of pregnancy.

I’ve had it never disappear before just get fainter by day 3 then darker again day 4 with a pregnancy also had it negative at day 4 and come back again day 6 so that sounds sensible waiting a few days as it just messes with your head doesn’t it! Xx

I'm trying to think back to my ivf round. The first day I tested was 6dp3dt (so equivalent to 4dp5dt) and there was a super super faint line. The line was still as faint the next day but on 8dp3dt I got a positive on a clear blue digi so I think the original line was a positive but because I didn't test the trigger out I can't be 100% sure.

interesting! Yeah I’ve heard quite a few people get their first faint BFP on 4dp5dt. I’m 3dpt today and didn’t test today. God, this wait is torture!

Not what you're looking for?
