View Profile | | HTP and false positives « on: 07/16/07, 13:20 » | Reply with quote Hi, I am curently on day 7 of my 2ww, and it's driving me crazy!!! Does anyone know if I'm likely to get a false positive if I take a HPT, I was on 50 Clomid and had IUI - I didn't take the hcg?  Is it the hormones from the hcg that causes the false positive or can Clomid do that too??  I am really new at this (first IUI - but ttc for 6 years), so any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!

Now, that being said, 7 days is too early to detect anything at all.  12-13 days past conception (which is the day after retreival) is the soonest you could possibly detect any HcG in your system.  Some say 11 days.  I've never heard any sooner than that.  Hold off 3 more days!  PS -- the 2WW is gruelling, and the midweek point is the low point, I think.  Just like the middle of any long race or task.  You look behind at something so long, then look ahead and think "I have to do that whole thing over again!!"    Hang in there!  Hopefully this is your last 2WW!
