FALSE + PG TESTS

i am doing IVF in december and my RE told me that they could either do a blood test on x-mas eve or i could just take a urine test at home but i have heard that all the hormones i will be on may cause a false positive result. do any of you all know if this is true or if any of you have gotten a false +?

I was told the same thing. Usually, the hCG would be out of your system if you wait the two weeks. But, who knows with all the other stuff. I will be testing around the same time. Maybe (praying) we both get that wonderful gift for Christmas!!! :-)

I think only the HCG trigger shot would cause a false positive. Just don't test too close to that shot. I think it stays in your system about 10-13 days? Not sure.
Good luck!

Starleneg is correct, it's the triggershot that would give you a false and it's about 10-14 days before it's out of your system

Starleneg is definitely correct. I did my trigger shot on 11/3 and had my transfer on 11/8. My HPT came up positive on 11/18 and I wasn't supposed to go in for BETA until 11/21. I called my RE office this morning and they confirmed that the "shot" was out of my system and that I am pregnant so they had me come in today for my BETA. Hope this helps you and wishing you LOTS of luck with your cycle.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
