My RE told me to go for a blood test if I haven't had AF by CD 14, which is tomorrow. I feel kind of ridiculous going in for a blood test when I'm pretty sure that this cycle is a bust. Plus the lab where I'll have to go for the blood test is totally out of the way.
I know that some people don't get a + until after their missed period on HPT, so it can still be early. But really, I don't feel like that's the case.
Can they learn any info from the b/w tomorrow, or is it just a waste of time and money if I'm not pg anyway? Ugh.
Thanks, ladies!
Re: BFN at 13 dpiui-should I still go in for a blood test tomorrow?
Since AF has not shown yet, I would go. Blood tests are more sensitive. It's worth a shot.
((Hugs)) and good luck!

There are a lot of HPT that don't go below a 20ui. This means if you are pregnant and implanted late that you might not be at the 20 mark yet thereby not getting a +hpt.
Do I recommend you go? It's totally up to you. I've been in your shoes. It's pretty annoying to have to spend $75 to get a blood test just to be neg. However, you might be still and they will get you your hcg and progesterone numbers either way.

I never go after a BFN at 13dpiui. I am OOP so I would prefer to save the money. If a HPT eventually became positive or AF never showed, then I would schedule the blood test. But that's me
Good luck either way!

I should say thanks ladies and gent!!!
Hmmmmm....if I go tomorrow, it would be in the afternoon, and I wouldn't get the results until Friday anyway. So maybe I'll wait, and if no AF by Friday morning, I'll go before work that morning at 15 dpiui. I know that Clomid could make my LP long though--in the past, pre-lap, it was anywhere from 9-15 days.

I'm sorry! This shouldn't be so hard.
I would go.
I started bleeding on day 13 but since it wasnt full flow they like to test anyway. It ended up being positive.
Good luck!
