Default Can I POAS yet??

I posted in another thread but I dont know if anyone will catch it.........

My booster was saturday night, 5000 units of hcg. I've been drinking a ton of water and gatorade, especially since yesterday.

Do you think I'm ok to POAS yet?

If I dont do it tonight, I think I wanted to try to do it tomorrow and friday before my beta becuase I really need to be prepared for that call, especially since I wont be with DH, I'll be here at work .................... BOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

What should I do?!??!

If your beta is the day after tomorrow, I think you're more than good to POAS today.

Good luck!

I think it is too soon. I got s super faint positive 9dp3dt and it was twins. But that is just me, I would not want to a false neg.

But, let us know what you do!

But what do I know??!

Let us know what happens. And don't be afraid. It can only be one of two things.

I never POAS but that's just me. Before we were diagnosed IF and were trying every month, I'd POAS every month and every single time I'd get my period within an hour - I think I jinxed myself and am too scared to POAS now!

Please keep us posted whatever you do

It usually takes 1 day per 1000units of hcg to leave your system.

Some leave sooner....but I will say WAIT. Only a couple more days!!!

Renee-
While I am DYING to know, I think you should probably just wait. Only two days left girl!
Besides, I'm not sure since you did that booster on Saturday.
But if you do POAS, let us know Immediately!!

At the very least...if you decide to POAS, make sure you use first morning urine. Don't be tempted to do it tonight.
