How do you know if your hcg is going up ?

Sophie

I keep taking tests just to confirm pregnancy is going well but I know that’s not how it works. (Plus expensive) I was researching online to find out if there are any tests that measure your hcg levels etc but couldn’t find any.

I’m meant to be just under 9 weeks but not heard anything from midwifes so am anxious to know all is well with my baby.

Nausea kicked in today along with feeling gassy and bloated. Very tired too!

Any one else have an idea of how to check hcg levels apart from the normal blood tests which are a nightmare where I live to get.
