Did your OB check your HCG and/or your Progesterone levels during your first OB visit?

Question

Answer

They only checked both once when I was having unexplained spotting and I also had a miscarriage right before that pregnancy.

Answer

Im high risk with lupus and PCOS and previous miscarriage and my OB won't check my Progesterone levels 😣 Its causing me so much stress. I've had a loss before caused by low progesterone and my OB keeps saying low Progesterone can't cause a loss and she won't test my levels unless Im bleeding "heavily". Im switching to a new OB next week

Answer

They did a full bloodwork which measured HCG but it was done at a lab and faxed to my midwife prior to my first visit. I don’t think they’ve ever check my progesterone but I could look at the sheet to confirm.

Answer

This is my third pregnancy and the first time it was checked. The only reason was because the last pregnancy was ectopic, so we were monitoring this closely.

Answer

Nope, I didn’t have either checked even with a history of miscarriage.

Answer

I haven’t even seen my regular doctor yet, but my RE had me do both when I got my positive test.

Answer

Usually only check if you are high risk or had a previous miscarriage
