Beta Question

WoodiWoodi member
in Infertility

I've never had a beta test before because AF always showed up before the date.  Normally when I go get blood testing done, they call me that afternoon with the results.  Does it work the same with beta tests?

Am I really going to have to sit on pins and needles all day?  O.o

    I have never had a beta either, my RE only does them with IVF cycles or a pos hpt on an IUI cycle. But, from other posts here, yes it takes some time to get the results back. Stinks.

    Yes, you'll most likely have your blood drawn in the morning and get the call from the nurse in the afternoon with your beta.

    -------------------------
    TTC Since 10/2007 with no luck and a 'go with the flow' attitude
    1/1010 FINALLY decided to have testing done, dx MFI
    7/2010 - DH starts Clomid to increase testosterone and hopefully sperm count
    10/2010 - Still low (but improved) sperm count.
    11/30/10 - IUI #1 and only = BFN
    February 2011 - IVF #1 w/ ICSI =
    Chemical PG (Beta 1: 10, Beta 2: 19, Beta 3: 17) :-(
    April 2011 - IVF #2 w/ ICSI = BFN :-(
    September 2011 - IVF #3 w/ ICSI = BFFN
    November 2011 - AMH level tested - .83 (normal for age range)
    February 2012 - IVF #4 w/ ICSI = (best response ever yet still) BFFN
    April 2012 - DNA testing - NORMAL, RE suggests cycling again with own eggs or using DE
    On Break indefinitely...not sure we can afford the emotional and financial roller coaster anymore.
