I'm dying.
My beta is set for Monday--but I don't wanna wait until then. PLUS I'd have to go in before school 7am, for the blood draw, then WAIT until both DH and I get home AFTER School around 4pm for the results.
Today, I am 11dpER. I did a 5-day blast transfer of 2. I'd do the test tomorrow morning. 12dpER.
Does that seem reasonable? DOes anyone actually POAS after IVF or do you all wait?!?!?! WHAT TO DO?!?!?!?
My Story and Blog:
The Conception Craze
1/2009- TTTC
After 7 rounds of clomid and HcG, Three failed IUI's with an ectopic pregnancy, two shots of methotrextate, ER visits, breaks, low (3%) morphology One IVF cycle (lupron, gonal-F) that ended in another ectopic, more methotrexate, A Lap to disconnect both tubes, remove endo and a hydrosalphinx, . . .we are finally expecting TWINS from FET#1!
1.11. 2011: Beginning FET cycle!
3.11.11- FET! (DH's birthday!) 2 blasts transfered!
3.20.11- BETA #1 BFP!!! 272! (9dp5dt)
3.23.11- BETA #2 1346!!! (12dp5dt)
4.8.11- U/S #1. . TWINS!!! . . .TWO BOYS!
9.10.11-My beautiful Boys arrive unexpectedly at 28 weeks, 6 days.




Re: Anyone POAS after IVF? If so when?!?!?!?
I'm not there yet...but I don't plan to wait!
I think HCG starts to show on HPTs after 11-12dpER. Good luck!!!!!
beta#1 3/21 (14dp3dt)=413, beta#2 3/23 (16dp3dt)=785, u/s 4/11
EDD 11/25/12

I started about 3dp5dt and got a extremely faint positive the evening of 4dp5dt. It turned out to be a very sad chemical (my highest beta was 34), but it was an interesting experiment and gave me a few days of excitement. I would imagine with a strong pregnancy that you might get clearer and/or faster results than I did.
FWIW, I used internet cheapies ("Wondfo brand") from Amazon. They were $10 for 50. You can't beat that price for compulsive POASing! There were reviews stating those tests could pick up an hcg of 6. I have details and pictures of my testing in the blog link in my siggie.
I'm in the 2ww and my beta is scheduled for 11-2. But I do plan to POAS before that date. My ER was 10-18 so I will probably start POAS on 10-27.
good luck!
TTC #1 since Oct 2006 with severe MFI.
Summer/Fall 2011 - DH on clomid. Helped with morphology and motility, but count still under 1 million.
February 2011 - First RE appointment to discuss options.
March 2011 - We aren't sure what we are going to do right now. DH isn't sure about DS.

hahaha! I love you ETOYAMA.
I know, that is usually my protocol--it has always been! But I just don't know. . . . I feel like I need to be prepared to hear the beta before the beta. . . but what going to prepare me for the POAS-ness???
Grrr. . . .

Me - DX Hashimoto's Disease, Hypothyroid, Rheumatoid Arthritis
DH - DX Azoospermia - Sertoli Cell Syndrome
DS-IUI #1-4 BFN IVF #1 - BFP! It's a boy!!!
I'm still in the stimming phase for IVF #1, so I haven't been there yet, but knowing me, I would POAS.
Good luck whatever way you decide to go.
My advice is to step away from the pee sticks and wait for the beta. Do something fun and distracting this weekend to try to keep your mind off of it.
and good luck on Monday!!!
