Holding steady?

I've been testing out the booster trigger shot I did on 3dpiui.  It's been getting consistently lighter.

The first set of tests are 8, 9 and 10 days past IUI and 5-7 days past the booster trigger. The beta result from the day before the top test was 41.

I tested again this morning at 11dpiui, expecting a barely there line. There was definitely still a line there and it didn't really look all that much lighter than yesterday's tests. Not darker by any means, but not the near completely negative I was expecting either. I tested again this afternoon, and the line still looks the same. The second set of tests is comparing yesterday's 10dpiui-PM test to this afternoons 11dpiui-PM test. The bottom test in the first set of pictures is the same test as the top one in the second set. It really does look like its holding steady, not getting darker or lighter. I'm not quite sure what that means, but its got me pretty anxious for tomorrow's tests now.

  1. I hope this means you're making your own HCG!!! Can't wait to find out! I hope tomorrow's is darker :) I wonder if the progesterone is so high because you had 4 mature follicles? Does ovulating all of them increase the progesterone level? Good luck!!!

    1. Yes, if I did for sure ovulate all four follicles and have four corpus luteum's, then they would all be producing progesterone. The booster shot of hcg I did after the IUI helps with implantation but it can also can increase natural progesterone production. I'm sure it's probably a combination of both.

  2. Sometimes these tests (at least 8-10 years ago) would not get that dark for me when I was several weeks pregnant.

    Progesterone is great! So hopeful for your family.

  3. This pic actually looks clearer and darker than the same pic from earlier today. Crazy it hasn't changed in a day. Everything crossed....

    1. Those are yesterday's test JM, but they look clearer and darker cause they are dry.
