How Long Before Test Is Accurate?

We did the trigger a week ago and IUI this past Thursday. What's the earliest we can test and get any kind of accurate result?

Thanks!

    I still got a negative 12 days after an IUI and didn't get a positive until 14 days, although I know others have gotten earlier. What donor did you end up using?

    Thanks!

    Our top choices all sold out before we had a chance to order and I was getting so stressed out trying to find someone, I told my fiancé just to pick one without telling me who. So, I honestly don't know which donor and won't ask until we get our good news. :)

    Well, Thursday is the end of our TWW. We've obviously taken about 15 tests, some having a really light second line that may or may not have been a figment of our imagination. Today, we used a First Response pregnancy test (six days before missed period) and it came back negative. It's the first time we've felt like it didn't work. Are we jumping the gun?

    I know some people didn't get a positive until after 14 days.

    I'm curious about this too. Next cycle will be my first with the trigger. I don't want to test it out because 1) I don't want to use all those pregnancy tests and 2) I find testing emotionally draining. I normally test on day 12 as my luteal phase is consistently 13 days. Do you think the trigger would be safely out of my system by then?

    Pup= Yes it will. But I personally never got a positive pregnancy test before 13 or 14 days. But I never really had high HSG like some people immediately.

    Taco Terry- when I went in for IUI I had to tell the dr the vial number before they inseminated how did you get around that if you didn't know it? And were you and your partner narrowed down to several vials at least or really no clue?

    Well, our first IUI was a fail! In the meantime, our top donor (from another site, though) became available again and we bought up all of his vials. Appointment on Monday and then second IUI after Thanksgiving. This waiting is lame!
