Bfp at 10/11dpo.. Could it still be from hcg trigger?

Hi I’m on my second letrozole cycle, had 2 mature follicles and got an hcg trigger shot 5000iu 12 days ago.
Got a bfp this morning at 10/11dpo (see pic), could it still be from the trigger shot or is this real 🙈

Hi @Rac3693 this is tentatively looking really encouraging! I would have thought the trigger would have been out of your system by now but I’m afraid only time will tell - my clinic told me to wait til 14dpo because of this. I had a trigger about 9.5 days ago which I am testing out, and when I took a test this morning there was still a very very very faint second line, so given how dark yours is I would be hopeful?! Fingers crossed for you!! 🤞🤞🤞

Thanks so much.
So another 4 days to go for you? Fingers crossed both our lines get darker! @hopingforapeainapod

@Rac3693 I’m actually supposed to wait til Saturday to test but it’s DH’s bday then so I don’t want to spoil it by being upset if / when I get another official negative (I’ve never had a ‘real’ bfp - only positive caused by the trigger - so I’m not holding out much hope) that’s why I decided to test the trigger out so I can sort of ready myself one way or other! It’s such an emotional minefield! I had a natural cycle this month (except am also on progesterone now) so if it doesn’t work will try Letrozole as well as hcg trigger / progesterone next cycle…

Here’s hoping that this month works for you!
I’m also on progesterone for now and will continue on if I’m pregnant…
If you have to go on Letrozole next month, I found it really good, no side effects and I have an older dd conceived with it a couple of years ago! All hope is not lost! @hopingforapeainapod

Forgot to ask, do you know how many iu’s the trigger you got was? Just wondering if you’re still seeing a very faint line after 9.5 days

@Rac3693 that’s really good to know! My trigger shot was 400mg - not sure what that is in IU I’m afraid?!

@Rac3693 maybe 4000IU…?

@Rac3693 this definitely looks darker! 🤞really promising!! I tested this morning 10.5 days post-trigger / 9dpo, and the second line has definitely gone so think the trigger is finally out but now worried the second line isn’t going to come back :(

Hoping for you! How many dpo are you now? @hopingforapeainapod

@Rac3693 9dpo I think? So still early, but don’t really have any pregnancy symptoms other than tiredness and slightly sore boobs, both of which I think are caused by the progesterone…

Rac3693 · 12/02/2024 11:59

Yes I have the same symptoms… so ur still in with a big chance! 9 dpo is super early and at least you know if there is a second line after today it wont be because of the trigger….

@Rac3693 I did and I really don’t know what to think - I’m having a serious case of line eyes!! Top one is yesterday, bottom one is this morning’s - is hard to catch on camera but I think I see a vvvvv faint line / shadow?! Could still be trigger though?! I also don’t know if I am just seeing things / clutching at straws…

@Rac3693 I don’t know if this picture is any better (I had the flash on this time) - I agree I am a bit worried it might be an evap :/ I’ve never even had an evap before so not too sure how to tell the difference… eurgh I told myself I wouldn’t become a crazy person about this but here we are!

and congratulations!! That line progression looks perfect! X

Hi Everyone, I have never posted before but going through my first cycle of Letrozole 2.5mg with trigger. In my 2WW wait too, currently 12DPO. I was also worried about trigger too, so started testing a few days after ovulation 🙈, even though I was told to wait until 14DPO. I got a faint line yesterday, which looks to have got slight darker today….will hold out until Thursday before I get too hopeful. Wishing everyone luck!

@hopingforapeainapod Thank you! Keep us posted on your tests over next few days. Keeping fingers crossed for you too X

@GS7 took a test this morning and is definitely darker / thicker and also definitely pink so I don’t think it’s an evap 🥺 I’m 11dpo today and I think my test (the bottom one) looks very similar to yours on 11dpo! How are you getting on? Any symptoms?

@Rac3693 that bottom line is looking super strong!! Have you been told by the clinic to come in for a blood test or anything?
