[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thanks... I appreciate the information, and I think that confirms what I had suspected (that the center wants me to do the test for their purposes, not mine). I don't think there's anything wrong with that, but it bugs me that they aren't transparent about it. Going to do a test at this point means some heartache for me and frankly it's a pain in the ass when I'd just rather move on.

Of course I get that it's my decision, I just don't like the ideaof being told I actually might be pregnant when that's not teh point at all.[/quote]

Except that is for your benefit.  If the pregnancy is ectopic, which the incidence is HIGHER with IVF, you will and can bleed from the uterus because the embryo implanted outside of the uterus.  There will be an hcg level because there is implantation and it is ONLY for YOUR benefit to know sooner rather than later if this is occurring instead of waiting for your fallopian tube, horn of your uterus or possibly your ovary to rupture and you find out in the ER with a belly full of blood.  True story. [/quote]
