My beta is tomorrow but I caved and took a HPT a little while ago...it was positive. I am freaking out right now. Have any of you had a positive HPT then a negative beta? My trigger was on 7/8 so I know thats out of my system. I just don't know what to think. This is my 3rd IVF (the others were BFN's) and I am so nervous and so scared, I don't want to get excited then be let down. Any input? Thanks ladies.

I would say if it was positive, then congrats are in order! It is very rare for a positive HPT and a negative BETA. I am sure you will have a great BETA tomorrow.

I hope that tomorrow you receive confirmation of your HPT results!!

What kind of test did you take I would say since it was positive you are pregnant hope your beta confirms it for you it is hard not to get excited congratulations

CONGRATULATIONS!! YOU ARE REALLY PREGNANT!!!
I called my nurse after my positive HPT and verified that there was no way it could be positive and then me get a negative Beta. I then waited a day (4 pregnancy tests later) and emailed my doctor. He told me to come in early for my Beta to calm my fears. I tested a week before my beta at home. It was my 2nd IVF and I will be 27 weeks tomorrow with a little boy.
CONGRATS AGAIN

I have been told that you can not get a false positive, just false negative.

Congrats!!

Thanks so much for your replies. I am still nervous but a little more calm to see a negative beta after a positive HPT isn't very common.
