As the title explains, I've gone with the option of just thinking that anything is still possible and until I get the phone call, I could very well be pregnant. This decision actually has seemed so "right", which is weird to me. I could hardly sleep with my first IVF waiting for the next morning when I could test again. I just HAD to know what the result was. Luckily, it worked out positively (no pun intended) and I got a BFP before the beta. With my FET in August, I was the same way, but much more convinced that it was going to be a BFP tomorrow, which of course, it never was. I hated going in for my beta, getting poked after I already knew I wasn't pregnant was just mean. I did hold out a glimmer of hope that some chance it was a positive beta (that the obsessive HPT's were all wrong), but the call came to confirm. So maybe this round deserves a totally different approach. I'll just wait and be surprised by the phone call (oh the pressure!). At least I can peacefully hold out lots of hope up until the very last minute. Gosh, I hope I don't embarrass myself on the phone, no matter what the outcome.
I thought that starting the night shift this week would be awful (and, well it is, I hate nights!), but the silver lining is that I'm so tired that I sleep and I'm too tired to worry about HPT's. I actually think I can make it until Monday without going crazy.
Ok, so, don't kill me for this advice (which you didn't ask for). I think you should consider testing at home Monday morning (or Sunday night) prior to going in for your Beta. Either that or test after going in for your beta. The reason I say this is it will prepare you for the phone call and hopefully take out the worry of embarrassment of your phone call reaction. I'm praying for you as always! xoxo
