Parenting after a Loss

WWYD: Betas Question

I got a faint bfp yesterday afternoon. I am super busy this week with full classes and parent conferences.

Would you still try and go in for betas, wait until next week, or just poas to see if they get darker?

    That's a tough one. For me I think I'd go crazy without them, but then I'm a mess in between each time I get them and getting them is still no guarantee of anything so it's hard to say. Whatever you're most comf

  • YEA!!!!!!  I'm a POAS kind of a gal - and have never gotten betas before - so I'd vote for stick.  (Plus, with the stick you can just watch the progression and don't need to wait for the test results - immediate gratification is awesome!)

  • Thanks, ladies.

    I think I'll just poas for the rest of the week and see if they still want me to go in next week.

    Clearly getting pregnant is not really the issue with me, staying pregnant is. I still feel as if AF is on her way and with my

  • Yaaaaaaaaaaay!! I did 2 betas during a crazy week for peace of mind and because I didn't flipping believe I could be pg, but if poas will give you enough to obsess about that might be enough if you're swamped with other stuff to do. I am crossing all ava

    I am a betas person, but a realist too, so if your schedule is jammed this week then maybe POAS this week and do betas next week?

    I also like LOTS of reassurances though.  I too s

  • I did call the OB yesterday to see what they wanted me to do. The receptionist said she would relay the message to my OB and call me back. That never happened. My first appt is April 18.

    Unfortunately, it is also the same day and time as DD's 18

    I did betas and progesterone. It was good for me and my peace of mind. I also found out my progesterone was low again and was able to start supplements.
