I had my first appointment last week. It was basically just a consultation with a nurse I didn't actually see the doctor. They took a urine sample in the office and then sent to get labs and a urine culture. They said my labs were fine and the urine culture was negative, but they never mentioned anything about my HCG levels or anything . Should they have checked them? I've worked my self into a frenzy worrying now. I go back September 9th for my 1st ultrasound, but reading some other posts makes me feel like I should be getting my HCG levels checked before then.
