Why is everyone getting their HCG levels checked?

Is it something your OB routinely offers?

Or is it for personal medical/pregnancy history reasons?

Is anyone else not having them checked?

I just ask because it’s not something my OB has mentioned or offered. She doesn’t even confirm pregnancy until your first ultrasound appt (after 7 weeks). I’m worried I’m missing out on something important!
