What's next after 2nd beta

Tyana

Hi ladies. My second beta went well today and my numbers are rising. I have an ultrasound scheduled on 8/5 which should be 5 weeks 3 days. I understand that they'll be looking for the gestational and yolk sacs. Should I be expecting more bloodwork? How many ultrasounds did you have before you were release to your OB? How did you cope with the anxiety of waiting for the first ultrasound?

I had 2 betas then an ultrasound at 8 and 10 weeks plus bloodwork, released at 10 weeks to my midwife (could have stayed until 12 if I wanted)

Congratulations! I had beta done 4 times. At 5 weeks 3 days, I had an ultrasound done to make sure baby implanted in the correct spot. We go back again at 6 weeks 3 days to see if we can see the fetal pole. My RE does an ultrasound every week before release to ob to check growth. Depending on how well you are progressing and what blood work shows later on will tell when they will release you.

Hi I'm in the same stage I had my first Beta then I have my second today (due date is 4th April) I have my first Ultrasound on 5th August. I was wondering in the 9months roughly how many times would I go back if all is well? I know the doctor wants me to have the first scan I will be 5weeks 3days to check how many sacs and if in correct place etc, then I think another at 9weeks and again at 12weeks. He will also check many other factors and the lining. He wants me to continue with the medication he gave me Crinone, Endometrin, Predisolone and baby aspirin until 12weeks I believe. It's my first pregnancy so I do not know how many scans or appointments I will be having later on I think some depends on how the pregnancy is going. My Fertility doctor remains the same throughout the pregnancy.

I had blood work twice to check HCG levels. I than had an ultrasound appointment every week from 5-8.5 weeks. At 8.5 I had more blood work done to see how my Progesterone and estrogen levels were. I started to ween off the meds and was completely off by 9 weeks.

At my clinic they do bloodwork every week to test the hcg and progesterone levels. Also had ultrasounds weekly since week 5 of pregnancy. Will be released when 8 weeks pregnant.

With my clinic only one visit to confirm pregnancy, then released back to regular Ob.
