We see you 👀 …taking that home pregnancy test even though your clinic said “wait for the blood test.” Honestly? We totally get it. The wait is brutal, and the urge to know is real!
But here’s why your care team encourages you to hold off:
- Trigger shots contain HCG — the same hormone pregnancy tests detect. If you test too soon, that lingering HCG could give you a false positive.
- On the flip side, if your body hasn't produced enough of its own HCG yet, you could get a false negative.
- Both scenarios could mean unnecessary stress during an already emotional time .
We know it’s hard, but try to rest, distract yourself, and let time do its thing. Your clinic will give you the most accurate result with that two-week blood test (and if you do cave and test early... we’re not mad, just here with the facts).
