Question about beta testing

I've seen on here a lot of mention about beta testing.  What exactly does that mean?  When would you have that done?

    Ok sorry, I did a little research after posting this question, and now know what it means to have a beta test.  They are testing for a pregnancy hormone.

    But here's my question - do you go in for that once you've had a positive pregnancy test at home?

    Depends on your RE.  I go in 12 days after my second of back to back IUIs. Some ladies here go in after getting a + on a HPT.

    My RE has me come in for a beta at 14dpIUI if I'm on progesterone supps. If not, I won't come in until a +HPT.
