Icon5 HCG Booster shots and BFNs

So - for any of you ladies who did booster shots during the 2ww when cycling and then got a , can you tell me when you did your last shot and when you got your ?

I did 10,000 units to trigger, and then 10,000 units divided into 3 subcutaneous shots on 3, 6, and 9 DPO. I'm now 14 DPO (5 days since last booster of 3333 units) I'm wondering when (or if) a +HPT would be reliable? My beta isn't for another 4 days (18 DPO).

Any thoughts/experiences you can share?

T, i wish i had something to add here, but i dont. I triggered and then did a booster of 5,000 units a few days later..........I was too scared to POAS BUT my RE does a beta 10 days after transfer so I just held out. I know you're anxious!!! Hang in there, no matter what happens if you POAS or not.......

All i know is that Im rooting for you!!

i have tons of experience with this. my best advice is that the half life of HCG is about 36 hours but could be as little at 24. so with a booster of 3333 it takes about 7-8 days. i 'processed' a booster of 5,000 in 8 days and a booster of 2,500 in 7. my advice would be to buy a 3 pack of tests and starting testing, you're right at that time to watch it fade in the next few days and then start to darken

I agree with Nicole. Buy the cheapie tests and start watching the fade. You're at a great time to start testing. Good luck!

Can you drink a lot of water to try to flush it out? No clue here but hating that you have to go through this wait.
