ok - the theory is that it takes 24 hours for every 1000 units of trigger you inject - so if you go to EPU it's generally 10000 unit trigger, so you'd have to wait AT LEAST 10 days. If you then have booster shots, this will extend it further. i have found the best (though most exxy) way to know is to test the trigger out of your system - i started from about 2 days after the last booster shot on Gremlin's cycle and tested each morning til trigger/booster was gone (gotta love lullaby conceptions tests - so cheap!) and then kept testing - i had two days of negatives and started getting positives again - they were getting stronger after day 2/3 so i knew it was for real. it DOES work out exxy to do it this way though...
the other option - if you leave it til a day or three before BT - if you get a positive, take it with a grain of salt - test again next day - if it's positive (and hopefully stronger) it's a good sign - if it's weaker or gone, you know it was residual trigger
FWIW - sometimes you won't get a positive that you can rely on with a HPT - my hcg levels were exceptionally low when we got to BT day (i'd had positives two days by then) and they were worried it was residual hcg from injections, so i had to keep having BT's for a couple of weeks to make sure things were climbing right - it REALLY messes with your head big time! if you arent sure you can distance yourself from the line and it maybe being from the trigger, don't test! it's not worth the distress of not knowing (and possums, i know you know where i'm coming from babe!)
