Angels and Demons

Picture a devil on one shoulder. "Test test test."

And an angel on the other shoulder. "Don't test. Wait until beta."

That's the sort of day I'm having.

Throw a headache in for good measure.

Just makes you want to punch the devil and shoot the angel. There's just no winning in this scenario...

Good luck!

Hmmm...I am already having that internal debate as well, and I am a week away from reasonable testing time. Not that I didn't stock up on EPTs yesterday. Nope, not me.

I didn't test last cycle and it didn't turn out so well...so I know how that goes. I may take a chance on this one. It can't be much worse, but could certainly be better...

Good luck with the struggle - I don't know how I'd handle it!

Valerie said...

Hmmm...JB certainly has a good point.

On the other hand, you could test, get a positive reading from the residual hCG shot and well...you know...

Either way the waiting is horrendous.

I, personally, did not test, but that's just me.

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers,
Valerie

I am the Devil. I tested, but 10 days after the hcg shot when I knew it would be gone.

I test because I like knowing how that call is going to turn out...and this time they just wanted me to wait way too long.

When is your beta?

This is a good problem to have...

I personally would want to be prepared for the phone call. So I would POAS after my blood test and before the phone call.

Good luck!!!

Yup...been there...been there...and done that.

Maybe it is the angel saying test and the devil saying wait ...

Sorry my first post was riddled with bad spelling.

We are praying for you!!! I know it is hard but I would test after your blood draw so you will have a better result. But there is such a thing as false negatives on the stick ;) So even if the stick comes back neg there is still hope.

I say test..I think that I would. I am horrible at waiting.

Thinking of you!

I waited until beta, and was glad I did. The wait was hard though!
Hang in there - I'm hoping for the best for you!

ASP said...

Oh gosh, don't you just hate the wait? I don't think it's any easier knowing ahead of time or waiting for the beta phone call. It's brutal either way. Just try to be patient, lil' donkey! When is your beta?

K said...

Uhm yeah. Right there with ya. I can't decide either. On the one hand, I want to know before the phone call. On the other hand...the sticks aren't always accurate.

I feel you on this one... I'm having the SAME THOUGHTS. ITs Torture!!!

Just do whatever is best for you in the end. I have 8 EPT's Tucked away in my night stand..haha (a little crazy..huh) But still don't know what I'm going to do. Test.. or Wait?? That is the Question:(

Sorry this waiting is so hard right now. I understand!!!

Thinking of you,
