Good luck and much dust and prayers!!
It's also why they tell you NOT to test early. Depending on the dosage you take, it takes AT LEAST ten or fourteen days AFTER your ICI/IUI for the hcg to leave your system... because that's also what makes a HPT turn +. If you test too soon, you get a false + because you have way, way more in your system than you normally would IF you're pregnant... which is why it's called the TWW: Two Week Wait. You can be sure that whatever doseage you injected is all gone by then... and that the + you get is the REAL deal.
BABY DUST!

And for the Gonal-F pen (if applicable):

I was lucky enough to have my husband administer both types for me (plus a drug that delays ovulation so that the follicles can continue to develop for a couple more days) and it really didn't hurt. I had a little bruising, but no biggie. Now I'm in my 2WW after my 7th IUI (last two medicated).
Good luck to all of us!

Yes, you were lucky to have your husband inject in for you :) I'm on my own, so wish me luck!
Hang in there - hope to hear some good news from you!
