pregnancy testing question

am I right that if you took an HCG shot, it could affect your results if you test early?

also am I right that if you are on progesterone your results could be scewed also?

I am on week two of my IUI post wait and I go back and forth with testing early. I have done it in the past and I can't see another negative! Chat Icon

yes the test can be false positive due to the trigger (since most of the time it is HCG). most triggers are long gone by 12dpo so results are usually more reliable by then.

progesterone WILL NOT skew a pregnancy tests. pregnancy tests do not test for progesterone, they test for HCG. progesterone has nothing to do with it.

good luck!

Re: pregnancy testing question

A HCG shot can affect your HPT results and give you a false positive if you test very early. I do not think progesterone will have any effect on a HPT, but it can make you have pregnancy/AF symptoms (which is currently what I am experiencing - I have been cramping during the entire 2 WW while last time I did not experience any.)

I am at 8dp3dt and I want to test so badly. At this point, I do not even have a HPT in the house. I am impatiently waiting for my BETA on Wednesday morning.

Best of luck with your decision and lots of sticky dust for you@Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

1. is True, i tested out my trigger shot so i would know the test was accurate showing a pregnancy not the trigger.

2. Absolutely not true.

AGREED~!
I test from HCG trigger until beta.
I have always tested out my HCG which never lasted more then 4 days in my system (but supposedly can last up to 10 days) IDK how true that is since anyone I know who tests out was never more then 4-5days.

Prog. has nothing to do with HPT results.

I use CBE HPT --good luck Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

You get some cheap dollar store test and test every other day from the day after the trigger shot the tests should get lighter and lighter.

Thank you, now I understand. I usually don't test because I hate seeing negatives! We shall see!
