HCG testing or let it go?

Question

I took at HCG tests at 4 weeks and was at 116. My doc (not OB, just primary care) told me she doesn't think I should test again because I don't have any troubling symptoms, not high risk, etc.  I know that a good sign is that number doubling, should I ask to do another test or relax and just try to stop worrying and enjoy this??

Answer

To follow up - I took a second, it had dropped to 86 and now I'm having an MC. Really sad but I think in my gut, I knew something was off. :(

Answer

With my first pregnancy we had one hcg level 14dpo and it was 71. The doc told me it was fine. Everything went well. We now have a beautiful 1yr old girl. But then in sept I had a mc. Now we just found out we are pregnant again so the doc ordered 2 hcg levels and they went up 6 times. Your hcg levels seem right on but if getting a second will make u feel better and not worry u should get it done.

Answer

Don't test hcg. It's not worth the stress.

Don't stress sometimes it causes more stress to do it

Answer

I was told the same. I'm glad I didn't end up bothering with the bloodwork. The ultrasound was reassurance enough.

Answer

Early in my pregnancy my dr told me the number itself was not as important, that what matters is to see the number at least double up in 48 hours. The first time i went i got 68.5 (i thought it was pretty low) but then 48 hours later it had gone up to 200.3 so my dr said not to worry and that everything is ok.
