Help! how to test down 10,000IU trigger...?

[smoochiepoo]

Hi.
I am relatively new here and trying to get some much needed advice/info about my upcoming clomid/injectable cycle.

Did you POAS to test when the Trigger left your system? and if so what day was it gone?

I am obsessing over planning my cycle when DH is home for R&R leave from afghanistan and I just realized that when I would normally be testing down my trigger, (from 5DPT-10DPT) that is when we plan to be out of town on the farm at his grandparents house.

We will get back home on 9DPO and I know I'll run to the bathroom to POAS, but then I won't know if it is a true BFP or still trigger.

If you didn't test down your trigger when did you test? what DPO? I would like to see that BFP before DH leaves, and he should leave about 13DPO.

I know... I'm sorry such tight timing here. Do you see why I'm obsessed now? He's home for 18 days and should get home on or around CD8 and leave on or around CD 26/27

I'm expecting to trigger around Noon on CD12 and if the 36 hour rule is true, I should be Ovulating by CD14.

Thanks! I'm a nut case. I'm trying not to get too excited. We've had so many heartbreaks. But it's hard not to.

from memory, i think the trigger leaves your system at around 1000iu per day so if you POAS 9DPT you'll probably still be having traces of it in your system

good luck hun

on 9DPO I should be 11DPT providing that I O about 36-48 hours after trigger right?

yeah that would be pretty right - the trigger will leave your system from when it's administered, so if you count 10 days from that you should be ok - if you get a positive on day 11 post trigger, POAS the next day again - if it's a true positive, the line will get darker.
