My wife had IVF and we have had great HCG beta that so far shows she is pregnant. We couldn't be happier for now but know the first trimester is a long road with its own worries.

Anyway, we don't believe our OB doc has had many IVF baby deliveries plus my wife has POF. Question: Is it critical that ...

should we make appt to get a 'beta' (is this the actual name of the test?) from a dr here instead of hpt? We had our ivf outside the country and are not going back next week when the 14 days are up.

and so the beta test is usually at least 10 to 14 days after ivf? I don't really want to have her take a hpt - for some reason I don't like them even if they have value.

My wife had ivf 6/7 days ago. she takes an oral estrogen pill and has been getting shots of progesterone.It seems some of you out there take both as a pill? Are there other drugs you are taking now post ivf during 2ww? And what is your schedule for bw? 2 weeks later or during the 2ww to check levels ...

why is FET better or eaise r than fresh? Is that because you are supplying your own eggs (fresh) and then within a few days have the IVF? What if you were getting fresh from a donor?
