I gave the trigger at 9:30pm last night. I know my time was suppose to be at 9pm, but I scared myself reading too much on google and didn't want to risk ovulating with doing it 37 hours before, plus if they are pushed back I could be really screwed. So I figured I would compromise and do the shot 36.5 hours before. I figure this was the best of both worlds. 90% of clinics do it at 36 hours, another 8% do it at 35 hours, so I figure at 36.5 hours I am already past those times, but before 37 hours so less chance of worrying about ovulating.
Another reason was I was on the phone with my father from 8:45-9:15 and didn't want to let him go by saying I needed to take a timed shot for ivf. He asked if I was busy and I said yes. I mean I am busy, between the ivf and dd's therapies my schedule is packed. He was happy to hear this because he thought it meant business was doing well. I didn't want to tell him that wasn't why I was busy since it would only upset him so sometimes a little lie is for the best. Of course it wasn't really a lie since I am busy, and I do have some house calls this month, just not as many that will bring in enough money to pay bills with.
So anyways, I woke up at just before 5:30 this morning to pee so took a test. After what happened with ivf#3, I have to make sure that at least the trigger worked and wasting a $1 dollar tree test is well worth the peace of mind. So I did the test and unfortunately forgot my watch in the room so I couldn't time things. However I waited what seemed like 10 minutes and though a line did show up, it was extremely faint, however was thick and pink unlike my evaporates and ghost lines from last cycle. I didn't know what to think. It was positive, but why was it taking so long to show up and so so faint. For 8 hours after trigger it should be super dark and clearly visible like the control line. I was debating doing a frer, but really didn't want to waste a frer for a fake bfp. So I gave up and went back to bed. Woke up 2 hours later at 7:30 and digged the test out of the trash (yes I do this) and to my shock is a blaring bfp. I have come to the conclusion that $tree tests are not very readible until they fully dry. I know this goes against how you are suppose read and use hpt, but when I threw that test out at the 10 min mark it was positive, but hard to see, plus a line didn't start to even hint to appear until around 5 min or later and now 2 hours later once the test is dried is a super dark (similar to control line) bfp that you can see clearly from across the room. I can understand how woman can think they aren't pregnant when they are if they follow the instructions on the test and do a cheap test like the $tree ones. For comparison, frer always are done by the 3 min mark. I know I would have got an immediate answer if I used one this morning, but didn't want to waste the $5 that that test likely cost me (it is bad enough having to waste a $1 to get a fake bfp).
I am starting to experience some major nausea that I can only conclude is from the trigger. It is funny how I never experienced this symptom before from the stims or trigger, but now have it this time. I don't know if it is because I haven't been exposed to hcg as much recently, like I was when I did ivf #2 and was basically chemically pregnant for 4 months by the time I got my bfp. It does suck though getting m/s before I even make it to ER, let alone get a bfp.
On other news, dh called last night and said he got his day off switched from Thursday to Wednesday so now he doesn't have to worry about calling in sick. This works out much better since I know how much dh hates calling in and having to worry about his job, even though his job sucks and he is leaving in 2 months. He will still work tonight and then go back on Thursday and then get the weekend off.
