Don't know what to think - trigger or real BFP??

[ashkash]

I'm so nervous & anxious & could use some thoughts on this! We did a cycle of Follistim, with an hcg injection (10,000 units) last Monday at noon. IUI with spinning was then done on Tuesday at 2:00 pm. So I bought a bunch of Wondfo pregnancy strips & started taking them on Sunday morning (6 days past trigger, 5 dpiui). Got a nice dark positive, so I assumed it was still the trigger. Next day, test was a little lighter. On Tuesday, slightly darker. Same thing on Wednesday. And again this morning, which is now 10 days past trigger & 9 dpiui. I had some pretty serious cramps Saturday night, so could that have been implantation?

What would you think? These tests are dark positive, not squinters at all! I'll try to post a pic later after I get my older kids off to school. I'm just so stumped. I've gotten BFP's at 9 dpo with my other kids, so I could totally believe it, except those were always pretty faint, and these are so dark. But if it was still just the trigger, shouldn't they be very faint by now? I'm trying not to let myself get too excited, but it seems so promising. I had 3 good follicles, so could this mean twins or something? I'm not good at the waiting game at all.

Here's the test from this morning. Pic taken after 3 hours, but it was positive right away, and got this dark within a few minutes.

10 days past IUI is the first I would really count. It's like 5dp5dt in HT when we see real BFPs.

Still positive on the cheapo Wondfo strip this morning, and also BFP on First Response. Thinking maybe this is really it! :-)

Today's 11 days past trigger, 10 dpiui.

I think it sound like the real thing! It's super early and I think you could have twins! Did you do spinning for a girl? Where?

Thanks, I'm letting myself feel a little bit optimistic now! We did spinning for a girl at The Fertility Institute of New Orleans. It's their own method, and supposedly they've been doing it for several years now, a few times a week, and getting 75-80% accuracy for girls. I need to do injectibles anyway due to ovulatory dysfunction, so we figured we might as well go for the IUI deal. Totally understanding that it's far from 100% accuracy, but we do have a daughter & are ok with our chances. I did some pink swaying things too, so we'll see what happens. Would be cool to have another boy also, though, since he'd be so close in age to DS3. Will be on pins & needles until it's confirmed with betas & u/s next week. Planning to call my RE on Monday.

Well, looks like it really was just leftover trigger. Both FRER & Wondfo were negative this morning (11 dpiui). Not counting myself out yet, but it's looking unlikely.

Tests negative at 14 dpiui. Lesson learned that the trigger shot really can take longer than expected to leave the body, and that it can vary widely within the same person. Will not be getting my hopes up at all next time!

Bummer! Onto next month!

I'm sorry. We've seen trigger that late a couple times on here. I really hoped it worked for you though. How much do they charge and what do they say are their pregnancy rate and gender rates?
