So I know a lot of you probably don't understand what I am asking on my poll so I will explain a few things then you can vote with a little knowledge. I am asking if I should test out my "trigger" shot. This is the shot that I will do before (exactly 36 hours) my egg retrieval. Why would I test it out? Well, the "trigger" shot is Hcg which is the hormone that makes a pregnancy test turn out positive. Therefore, after my shot I will be testing positive on pregnancy tests 7-10 days after that. If I test out the "trigger" shot then after it goes negative (because it has filtered out of my system) if I see any lines after that I can be fairly certain it is for real. The only downside is if it never comes back positive, or if the tests aren't sensitive enough I get all bummed out thinking it didn't work and have the beta (blood test) come back positive. I could wait and POAS (pee on a stick) the morning of the test just so I have a feeling of the outcome before I am sitting at work and get bad/good news and can't contain myself. Or, forget all the worries and just wait and see what the Dr. tells me (remember I am not a patient person). Soooo with that bit of knowledge about "trigger" shots and POAS....would you test it out, wait till the morning of the blood draw, or NEVER POAS?

Totall test out the trigger! And keep POASing until you get that BFP!!! FRER's are great tests - very sensitive...so are the Dollar Tree tests (they're cheap too).
Even after that great explanation I do not understand. This is your road... do it your own way girl!
