Does everyone test before the Beta???

Does everyone test before the Beta???

I am wondering... b/c my beta is tomorrow and I haven't tested... Am I the only one that really doesn't test?? It has honestly been killing me the last 3 days to test but my DH doesn't want me too so I haven't...

Re: Does everyone test before the Beta???

I never tested. Was always too chicken and would have much rathered heard the results from the Dr. I'm also in the frame of mind that even though the test shows a BFP, that it's really the beta number that counts anyway.

I also never tested when we were trying naturally. It was much more painful for me to see the BFN rather than just seeing AF come.

Good luck! Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I only tested if my period was seemingly late. If I got a line, I made an appointment for bloodwork/beta. If not, I made an appointment for a day 11 sonogram for the next cycle.

Re: Does everyone test before the Beta???

I had to test bc I wanted to prepare myself in case it was negative...I felt it would be easier to deal ahead of time then hearing it from the RE....

Good Luck tomorrow Chat Icon

Re: Does everyone test before the Beta???

I didn't the first 2x b/c I was worried about a false positive. But this next time around, I may, just to prepare myself.

Same here. I'd rather know myself than hear it in the voice of my RE or nurse.

Re: Does everyone test before the Beta???

I did and it was a BFN..so it was a huge shock when the RE called with +Beta, so it's tough, in the future I won't test..I don't think...

Re: Does everyone test before the Beta???

What day is safe to test? I'm curious now... but not sure if I'm too early to test or not. I'm 5DP IUI.
