I know I did a big no-no, but I have been taking EPT digital pregnancy tests every morning since my 3dt, which was this past Sunday. I have gotten "Pregnant" everyday, but this morning. I got my 1st "Not Pregnant". Please tell me that this is just the HCG getting out of my system. Please tell me that I could be still pregnant and I haven't lost my babies. Please help. I would greatly appreciate any help. I am devestated!

Not to worry. It's just the hCG trigger clearing.

You've been wasting your HPTs. Embryos cannot implant until after they hatch, and that is around day 6 or 7 of development. If Sunday was day 3, then today is day 6. Implantation may be just starting, or might start tomorrow.

Even after it implants, it takes a few days to get the hCG level high enough to see with a blood test, and then a few more for an HPT (HPTs are less sensitive).

The HPT means nothing right now. If you had a positive at this point, it would still be the trigger, not the embryo.

You might try again in a week.

I agree. But the good thing is you now Know that the trigger is out. So when you do get your next BFP you will know it's the real thing and not have to worry if it's a false positive because of the trigger. So not completely a waist.
