When does your RE do the first beta?

It seems like mine does it a little later than others.  The first is 11dp5dt.

(This is also a sneaky way of also figuring out when I can POAS ;-)

My TTC Journey:
Dx: Hypothalamic amenorrhea / mild PCOS (Pretty much a hormone/ovulatory disorder)
Progesterone to induce period w/ the goal of Clomid - never got period (September 2011). Referred to RE.
Femera - never responded to the meds (December 2011)
Clomid with TI - BFN (February 2012)
Injectables (Menopur) - hyperstimulated/canceled (March 2012)
Injectables #2 (Menopur) with TI- BFN (May 2012)
IVF - OHSS (transfer canceled), but 11 frozen! (June 1012)
FET - 1 transferred on 8/09/12. Beta#1 (11dp5dt): 350.3; Beta#2: 365; Beta#3: 157. Biochemical pregnancy.
FET # 2 - 1 transferred on 11/01/12. Beta#1 (11dp5dt): 337; Beta#2: 769. BFP!!! 1st ultrasound 11/28/12 showed heartbeat, but measuring 5 days behind. 2nd ultrasound 12/05/12 - miscarriage.
FET # 3 - 1 transferred on 1/24/13. Beta#1 (11dp5dt): BFN.
FET # 4 - 2 transferred on 3/21/13.  Bet #1 (11dp5dt): 660; Beta#2: 1,300.  Miscarried at home @ 6 weeks.

FET # 5 - 2 transferred on 7/12/13.  Beta #1 (10dp6dt): BFN.
Attempted an IUI in late August 2013, but didn't respond well.
IVF #2 with PGS - Stims started 10/28 with retrieval on 11/11.  Of 14 mature eggs, 10 fertilized, 4 made it to Day 5 & 1 made it to Day 6. We did PGS on the Day 5 embryos, and 3 of 4 were normal. Had ET on 11/17. Beta #1 (8dp6dt): 203. Beta #2 (10dp6dt): 618. We since had two ultrasounds & on 12/19, our RE released us to the OB.  On 1/02/14, we had our first ultrasound with the OB where we heard the heartbeat.  We are so thankful for the blessing & crossing every finger & toe for a healthy & successful pregnancy.

    My RE always does beta on 11dp3dt or 9dp5dt, unless it's a sunday and you do it a day later. I guess you can POAS on 9dp5dt ;-)

    My RE's policy is 18 days after ER for fresh cycles. Not sure about FET. That just seems like forever if you ask me.

    My RE said they will do a beta at 8dp5dt. I was very excited to find out it was that soon! Then I will have to resist the urge to test at home, and I'm sure I won't be able to!

    Ours told us we 12 days past whenever your transfer day is.  So for us, it will end up being 17 days!!!  Last time I had a 3dt and he had me come in at 14 days, but since then he has changed his protocol.  DH and I are considering testing on Friday, which would be 9dp5dt.  I'm just not sure yet...

    But, lat cycle I went in early, 10p5dt, because I POAS and was spotting so I called and asked if I could come in for an "early" beta.
