Instructed to test at 12 dpo..??

I had an IUI this morning with a different doctor at the practice. I've always been told to test at 14dpiui but the nurse today said to test at 12 because that is 2 weeks after the trigger. It's not like I need another reason to test early, but i do like to wait as long as I can for the most accurate test so I'm tempted to try to wait until 14 anyway. What do you guys think?

Me: 32  DH: 33  Married: March 2004

July 2006: started TTC
2008: HSG (normal), couple rounds of clomid through gyno
2008 - 2010: dragging my feet out of fear and procrastination
October 2010: first consultation with RE, dx PCOS and fibroids (DH slightly low count/motility)
Oct. 2010 - Dec. 2012:  In DENIAL! avoided the issue because I was scared of surgery
January 2013: returned to RE, fibroids grew significantly
February 2013: second HSG, fibroids pushed on tubes which blocked them somewhat
March 2013: MRI to determine what type of surgery may be necessary
July 29, 2013: fibroids (5) removed via robotic laparascopy
August 2013 - Nov 2013 : benched due to recent surgery

IUI #1, Dec. 24, 2013, BFN 
IUI #2, Jan. 25, 2014, BFN
IUI #3, Feb. 25, 2014  BFN
IUI #4 canceled due to lack of response to letrozole
IUI #4.1 April 28, 2014, BFN
May 16, 2014: wtf consult, start prepping for IVF in June and add injects for one last IUI in the meantime
IUI #5 started letrozole and bravelle but canceled after HSG led to new diagnosis
May 21, 2014: third HSG, tubes blocked, one at the beginning, one hydrosalpinx??
June 11, 2014: consult, approved to move on to IVF because the hydro is not completely blocked therefore allowing fluid to move through slowly rather than backwards
IVF #1 August 8, 2014 - 3dt of 2 embryos, BFN
September 17, 2014 - 4th HSG, the right tube is very patent (open!!) dye went straight through this time. Weird!
October 2, 2014 - started metformin treatment
November 14, 2014 - blood work, brought A1C down from 5.8 to 5.5
November 26, 2014 - RE finally back from vaca and reviewed my chart, no more IVFs for rest of calendar year
December 1, 2014 - Right after Thanksgiving, I called a new clinic and got in right away! Plan for IVF
December 17, 2014 - ER! 29 retrieved (!!), 16 mature, all 16 fertilized (ICSI)
IVF #2 December 20, 2014 - 3dt of 3 embryos, BFN

We are done with treatment unsuccessfully. :(

    I am addicted to testing so take that bias into account but I think 12 is more than reasonable. In my past experience they always want to do the beta twice anyway, to see if it doubles, and I'd rather know sooner than later so I'd jump on the first chance to do a beta.

    My doc is having me come in at 11 DPO this cycle and I think thats a little weird but I'll still take it! lol

    The nurse at my clinic made very clear that 14dpo is the most accurate day to test. I can't stand seeing a BFN so I just go for the blood test when they tell me to.

    **chemical mentioned

    I tested on 12dpo and it was negative. Come to 16dpo and I was so nauceous, so I tested. I was actually pregnant (chemical). I didn't test in between to know what 14dpo would have been.. but I def. believe 12 dpo is too early!
