Still a bfp from trigger. I was hoping to get a nice BFN today, so tomorrow's 10dpIUI would be a "real" poas day, but I won't have anything to compare to.
I have been poas since a few days after last trigger and they all have been getting progressively lighter. Today, per my 1,000IUs of Hcg/day being processed, I could have as much as 500UIs. But it was still really light. Actually, it's just as light as it was yesterday. I don't see much change between yesterday and todays. These internet cheapies sure don't give a lot of information.
All I can do now is poas again tomorrow and hope to see a darker line that today. But at 10dpo, the line would be really light anyway, so even ~if~ there was any hCG to detect, without a negative reference, it's not going to mean much.
poop.
... Once (and still) Infertile, but still Schnarky as hell. This blog is dedicated to the daily ramblings from the mind of Nancy. It isn't about anything profound in the grand scheme of things, but it ~is~ about things in my life, schnarkiness always included. I have a second blog, listed in my profile, but the blogs will continue to remain separate.

About Me
- nancy
- I am a 39 year old woman. I am the mother of two beautiful daughters and a handsome son. I am a career woman. As for my TTC world, it certainly doesn't seem like I am "infertile", but I fought for my pregnancies and my TTC/IF history is on the sidebar. I have two blogs, which are both listed in my profile. One focuses on my daily life - including IF, TTC, pregnancy, delivery and even some "children mentioned" posts. The second blog is ~soley~ posts directly about being the mother to my three children.

Sorry, but I hope you dont get your BFN. :)
Oh how I know the crazies from POAS.
Step away from the stick, give yourself a one day break and just pamper yourself.
Sending so much love and light your way.
oh no - me? step away from the sticks? no freaking way!! :)
omg...those cheapies are only good for a yes/no. i was convinved i would get a chemical pregnancy-looking hcg beta number from my "poas line analysis"...and it came back 680 at 14dpo.
i think it's positive.
May the BFPs continue past any possibility of them being trigger related.
I think I'm on the other side of the camp from most of your commenters. I hope tomorrow's POAS is a definite negative so that there won't be any doubt when you see the BFP Thursday. I'd just rather KNOW, ya know?
