Testing before 14 days is just a waste of money on test kits because the trigger shot stays in your system. The most practical solution is to wait for the full two weeks and do a blood test at the lab as suggested by your clinic.
Honestly, waiting is the hardest part, but testing early will only give you a mini heart attack. The fertility medications need about 12-14 days to clear out. Save your sanity and wait for day 14!
My doctor advised waiting at least 14 days after IUI to test. Testing early can show a false positive because of the HCG trigger shot. Also, keep up with your regular thyroid or other medical follow-ups during this waiting period.
Actually, testing earlier than 14 days can give inaccurate results due to residual hormones from the treatment. Your doctor's advice is the absolute best here, so wait for the scheduled blood test date they gave you.
Oh, the two-week wait is basically a test of mental survival! Try to wait at least 12 to 14 days, otherwise the trigger shot might play a prank on you with a false positive. Keep yourself distracted with funny movies!
