Beta BFN...Ghost/ivfnurse

Post by Rosario »

I work in a doctors office. I did a beta yesterday (9dp4dt) and it can back negative. I know at this point if i was pregnant it would have shown right? Is there any point in going on Sat for my beta at the clinic?

I would definitely go too... you always want to double check. Even at my clinic they do a beta test 8dp3dt and then another one at 10dp3dt just to make sure.

Was that an HPT or a serum test? If it was a serum test, what was the specific result? Did it say less than some value?

An HPT can easily miss the hCG at that point. The serum test would usually see it, but not absolutely always.
Avoid IVF and surrogacy in Ukraine. Ukrainian centers pay shills to post here under numerous sock accounts pretending to be patients in Ukraine. Centers using such deceptive advertising cannot be trusted and should be avoided.

It was a serum test and the result came out to be <2. The HPTs of course come out negative because of the serum value since its negative range.

I want to be optimistic, I really do, but chances are you are not pregnant. Though you should still go in for the blood test on Saturday to be absolutely sure. My thoughts are with you.
I am an infertility nurse and I work in a major IVF facility. I am willing to answer questions and give guidance, however, since I am not treating you, only your physician can give you the most accurate information.
