I was a high risk pregnancy and knew my chances of loss were very high, so I was being monitored with blood work to track my hCG every other day since my BFP.

I just hit 6 weeks and got the news today that my numbers have significantly dropped and they diagnosed a miscarriage.

My question is, now what? Do I wait for bleeding to start? Do I need to do anything? My doctor wants me to keep going back to monitor the hCG levels every other day until they get down below 2 and I don’t understand why. I want to grieve privately and not have my blood drawn at 7 am every other day as a constant reminder of this pain.

I did leave a message asking all these questions but know I won’t hear back until tomorrow. I received this news via an email update so I wasn’t able to ask questions in person yet. I’d appreciate any insight from someone who knows what I might expect next.
