i did get a trigger shot a few months ago. and i took the test before any bloodwork, but got my BFN and my period before my next doctor's appointment. i think you can start testing after 7 days.

my temperatures did not change much. same as usual, like i had an ovulation. that's all the trigger shot is - hcg to get you to ovulate.

Sorry I'm kind of late to the party, but....

1. You can take cheap pg tests in the days after the trigger to see how long it takes for the line to disappear. When I did this, the hcg only showed up on a pg test for like 2-3 days after the trigger. But I've read that other women have had it stay detectable for like a week or so. The 'real' hcg shouldn't be detectable for at least a week after your IUI, so you could take a test now and see if you still have a line or not. If you don't, feel free to test away And I totally know what you mean about lining up all the tests on the bathroom counter!

2. I don't think the trigger shot itself should change your chart. I took progesterone after my IUIs, so that would raise and sustain my temperature, but I don't think the hcg alone would affect much.

And most importantly, GOOD LUCK!

@bloved: I just had an IUI and am having the same issue with my temps. Was curious if your IUI worked or if you found out if the low temps were normal?
