IVF Negative HPT

Hello I am 33 I have 3 children. Had my tubes tied when I was 25. Decided to have them reversed it didnt work. So now I am currently in the 2ww process of IVF. Well I had a day 3 and 3 grade 1 embryo transfer on June 5. My Beta is June 16th. Well i decided to do a HPT this morning and it  came back negative. Should I still go to the doctors for my beta?  Doctor thought I would have no problem with IVF and that it should work for me the first time. What is your opinion on that

Hi!
You are a GREAT candidate for IVF since your only fertility issue is your tubal ligation. By now I hope you have done your blood test, because it is more sensitive and appropriately timed,. I hope that it was positive, and that you are underway with your pregnancy.  If not, it would be worth your while to try again--everything is in your favor.
Good luck!

Hi Pauline..
  I am 34 with one child and have been TTC for 5 years now.  I am in the process to do IVF, and was wanting to talk to women who are going thru the same thing.  We are not sharing with our family and friends so I really have no-one to talk to about it except my husband, and he get's lost in all the numbers and things that go along with it.  How was the actual experience for you? What did they have you do to prepare? Any info would be helpful :)
