Hcg levels?

Jesse

I see a lot of mamas-to-be (😍) posting about their specific hcg levels early on. My first appointment isn’t until 12/12, so I guess I won’t have official counts until then. At that point I’ll be 8 weeks. For those that are earlier than that and are already having your levels measured - is it just standard practice based on when you were able to have your first appointment or because of another reason (e.g. previous miscarriage)? I had a miscarriage in May at 8 weeks so just trying to figure out what “normal” should be for me in terms of having it monitored / if I need to before my first official appointment. Thanks for any guidance!!
