Urine pregnancy test with IVF before beta?

I just can't wait to know (or have an inkling) and feel like I need it to mentally prepare. This is especially the case since the day of the beta is a work day and I'd rather not hear the news while at work without being prepared. Anyone else do this or have thoughts?

OP, this process is so emotional and stressful, don't create extra stress where there needs to be none. Want to test? Test. Test 5 times a day. On different brand tests. Do it!
The only thing is if you triggered with HCG you need to test it out, otherwise you might get a false positive.

Definitely there is hope. I tested negative around then with a 3 day transfer and then stopped testing and had a positive beta a couple days later.

I ALWAYS test about 2-3 days before a beta. I just cannot wait that long and want to be prepared for bad news. I would always go into my blood draw saying "don't feel bad when you call me to later to tell me it's negative - I already know." That is, until I finally got a positive!

In the last two months I had two frozen embryo transfers done. The first one failed and the urine pregnancy tests indicated I wasn't pregnant accurately. The second one was successful and urine pregnancy tests indicated I was pregnant before the blood test confirmed the pregnancy. I started testing at day 9 post FET for both transfers and for the 2nd, successful transfer, the home pregnancy test was positive at day 9. For the first transfer, I'm glad I used the urine pregnancy test, so that when my nurse delivered the bad news over the phone I was prepared.

My home urine tests were always accurate 5 days after a 5/6 day blast transfer (in both positive and negative cycles).

I always tested early. I didn't want to learn via. phone call.

I would assume most women test on their own.
