trying to decide weather to take a HPT or just wait for the beta

[Anonymous]

Oh ok, I didn't use a trigger shot. THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR FEED BACK I will let you know if I decide to take one tomorrow or not. Wish me luck!!! And good luck to everyone else out there. This is definitely the hardest thing I have ever gone through. And I have been through some hard times.

Good luck OP!

I always tested first, and was glad I did. When it was negative I was able to process that alone (which was necessary.) I still was upset by the call but at least it wasn't a surprise.

When I finally got a positive I actually got to have a little bit of a "hey, I'm pregnant!" moment with my husband - the fun of which is definitely lost in a prolonged infertility journey.

Just do whatever feels right to you.

Keep us posted!

Thank you all again for all your advice and input last week. I did end up taking a HPT Saturday, Sunday and this morning. Saturday and Sunday were positive with light lines. This morning the positive line showed up before the negative and it was almost like it was shinning so bright for me to say.... Hey you did it!!!! YAY!!! Went in and did the beta now just waiting to hear back from the doctors on the levels to see if I may have 2 little ones cookin in there. Merry Christmas!!!!

Beta levels do not indicate singletons or twins--only an u/s can tell you that.

Yay congrats! Agree with pp about beta levels not being particularly illustrative of twins (however I have heard doubling times can be somewhat predictive). regardless, congrats on making it to a BFP - enjoy that and don't worry yet about what else might be in store for you .
