[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When does shady grove have you do beta after a 5 day transfer?   I am in the 2ww and don't think they told me when to test.  I have sore boobs and super tired but I have read those are often caused by higher levels of progesterone from taking the nightly shots. The only really suspicious pain is that round ligament pain or sharp stabbing pain in my lower right abdomen when I roll the wrong way in bed.  I had that early on in another pregnancy- I'm not sure what that means but I don't remember having it on any of my negative cycles.
   I agree though with most that you are pumped full of hormones during 2 week wait and also way down on exercise and not drinking caffeine, so all the symptoms could easily be attributed to those things probably. I'm 6 days past a 5 day transfer.[/quote]

If you are now 7dp5dt, they should be okay bringing you in within the next 1-2 days for your beta. There is no reason to have to wait until 14dp5dt.[/quote]

The reason they make you wait until the equivalent of 18dpo is because at that point, the likelihood you are getting the correct result is essentially 100% - there's less than 1% chance of false results at that point.  Bringing someone in any earlier, increases the chances of a false result or putting a person through an unnecessary beta hell.  It's long, long, long wait, but worth it if you think of it that way.[/quote]

I disagree, but I think it's a matter of personal preference. Personally I would rather know what is going on. Being in the dark, thinking of worst case scenarios is no fun either. I just think anything in the 14dpo range is fair game. That's what it was with our timed intercourse and IUI cycles, and that's what I requested with IVF as well.[/quote]

I definitely agree with you, in that it's a personal preference sort of thing.  I hated the wait, but much preferred the concreteness of my answer at that point, as opposed to testing feverishly up until then or going in much earlier.  But of course I also know people who wanted to know the first second they could, etc.  It's different for everyone!  I was just laying out I guess the more scientific/hard-and-fast reason the clinic structures it the way they do.[/quote]

I hear you! Although the not testing at home thing is a foreign concept to me, I hear there are people who manage to do it. :D  [/quote]

Haha, I am one of those mythical beings.  I didn't test for either of the cycles I went through, because I felt that it would just increase my anxiety.  I worried too much about getting an early positive and it being a chemical or getting an early negative and just going headlong into depression until the test date.  [/quote]
