For the ladies that have done IVF

in TTC after 35

I'm 7dp2dt and wondering when or if I should take an HPT or just wait for my beta.  I keep going back and forth so far I have no desire to POAS but wonder if it wouldn't be easier to do this before I go in for my beta so I have some idea what my results are - as this is my first IVF and it didn't go as planned and would like to be as prepared as I can be - would love any feedback you ladies can give me.

Me 38 MH 41 - TTC since June 2010 - dx with Severe MFI. Straight to IVF with ICSI. IVF #1 - ER 06/13/12 - 9 Eggs Retrieved - 4 ICSI'd - only 2 fert. 06/15/12 - 2DT - 3 cell & 6 cell with fragmentation. Beta 06/29/12 - IVF #1 = BFN. 07/20/12 - WTF Appt -Told by our RE to quit IVF. Second Opinion from RE is good. IVF#2 - November 2012. Estradiol Pills Started 11/6. Stims start 11/16. ER 11/26 - 7 eggs retrieved - all mature. 4 fertilized with ICSI. ET 11/29 Transferred 3 embryos. Beta is 12/10. 1st Beta 81 2nd Beta 160 and 3rd beta 360!!! First U/S 12/21/12 - We saw one beautiful gest. sac. 2nd U/S is 01/04/2013 - H/B 183 02/05/13 - NT Scan - everything looks good and IT'S A BOY!  Aiden was born 08/20/2013.

IVF #2 is in progress.  ER was 05/12/14 - 11 eggs retrieved, 8 fertilized with ICSI.  ET was 05/15/14 - we transferred 3 embryos as we did on the cycle my son was conceived.  We were able to freeze 3 embryos. Beta is scheduled for 05/26/14.  1st beta - 111.  2nd beta - 159 didn't double :( 3rd beta Friday 5/30) - not a lot of hope left. Beta # 3 is 247 - probably ectopic.  Beta # 4 is 813 - possibly vanishing multiple sydrome?  06/05/14 - 5w4days - first U/S - we see a gestational sac and yolk - still have hope!  06/17/14 - 7w1day - U/S and saw and heard the heartbeat - Finally!  06/27/14 - 8w4days - Baby and heartbeat look and sound great :)  EDD 02/01/14 and It's a boy!

    For me, I need to see the negative before my beta as I don't want the nurse to tell me it didn't work. I also wanted to cry at home and not the middle of the afternoon at work. It is totally up to you. Lots do test and others never do. I think you are too early right now and could still have some of the trigger left. Thinking it is positive if it is really just the trigger will break your heart. When is your beta?

    TTC #1 since 8/1/10; Me:41 and BRCA1+, DH:46
    DOR (FSH 24.3)/ terrible egg quality ; homozygous MTHFR c677t
    5 IUI's: 2/11 to 6/11 and 1/12= BFN
    OE IVF#1-4 8/11-6/12= all BFN
    DE IVF#1 11/12 bad embryos= BFN
    DE IVF #2 2/13 BFP/Beta hell: m/c 5w6d
    CFNBC 7 months, not doing well; decided on guarantee program at RBA w/frozen DE
    DE IVF #3 1/14  ET 4BB; BFP;M/C 5w1d, incomplete m/c; MVA extraction in ER 7w1d

    DE FET#1 ET 3/1714; BFP, beta 1 3/27= 197, beta 2 3/31= 1586, beta 3 4/7= 13879!!

    I haven't done IVF, but I've done several IUIs.  I usually do a HPT the day before my beta.  By waiting that long, I am sure I've given my body plenty of time to implant.  For my first IUI, I didn't do a HPT before the beta and when the nurse called, I completely broke down in a big, ugly cry.  I had to call the nurse back later because I couldn't talk.  I don't want that surprise again.  So little of IF is in your control, I want to at least give myself some space to react to a HPT.

    Good luck.

    I prefer to know before the nurse calls - it enables me to get through the phone call. I'd wait a little longer, though - one or two days before beta.

    I POAS before the blood test. I needed to know. It didn't make it easier. Best to you!! Hope you get good news! I usually wait for the day before or day of the test.

    *McIrish *- I feel dumb answering the question about when my beta is due - but I was given my sheet before my retreival was done on 06/13 and transfer was done on 06/15 - my beta was marked as 06/29/12 - but I believe this was before my RE realized we were doing a 2 day transfer instead of 3 day or 5 day - I just realized this when I looked at the paperwork yesterday - didn't want to look at it before.  I have a call into the RE to see when I should come in for beta because I'm confused is it the 06/29/12 date or would it be earlier because of the 2 day transfer - any light you can shed on this would be helpful...thank you.

    It's hard to say since clinics do beta differently. The RE I went to for IVF1 &2 did beta at 14days past your transfer (I had 2dts) and the current RE does 14 days from ER..  I think you'd be fine to just leave it at 6/29.   It's not like the embryo starts to implant on day 3 because you put it back a day early.
