Had a blood test (beta) at Shady Grove today

[Anonymous]

And am dying to find out the results! Anyone know when they generally call with the results? It's always the same day, right?

Yes, it will definitely be today. My (positive) beta call was after 5 pm, but I think usually it's much earlier.

They've called me 3x with beta results (negative; positive but low; negative) and each time it was mid- to late afternoon. Twice my nurse called, one it was my doctor.

I don't think you can infer anything about the results based on when they call- depends on your nurse or doctor, how busy they are that day, etc. And I will say that SG is VERY busy today (was in for monitoring this morning).

Good luck!

I took a beta today too. I usually get a call b/t 2 and 4...hang in there...I know they are short staffed today, so only a handful of nurses have to make all of the calls today...so maybe expect to hear from them later in the day.

Hang in there--I know waiting for that beta call can make hours seem like a lifetime.

I have had the experience with my bets, when SGF is short staffed, that the call can come way after 4 PM, so don't worry (I know, easier said than done!) if it is later. GL to you--let us know how things work out.

OP here - thank so much for the responses. I got a call around 4pm yesterday- it was positive! HCG was 62. I am supposed to go in tomorrow for a second test, but of course, the snow is going to get in the way. Ugh.

HOW MANY DPO ARE YOU?

[Anonymous]

SG doesnt normally do BETA's until 18dpo so if you are 18dpo I would be cautiously optimistic

[Anonymous]

SG does betas for IVF at 18dpo and 15dpo for IUI.

OP here. I was 12DPO. I didn't do a regulated cycle this round, tried the old fashioned way and got a positive. But Shady Grove is still letting me come in for the tests.
