To get HCG levels or not?

Question

After an early loss in July, I got a clear positive at 12 dpo.  I haven't talked to my ob team yet because I find myself wondering what I want from them if anything before the 10-12 week appointment.  I kinda want an HCG test series for the reassurance/confirmation but really that's silly because nothing can be done if things aren't okay at this point (and I'd have to pay for them so...)  What have you all done for your pregnancy after miscarriage and what do you wish you had done differently?  Pic for attention

Answer

Congratulations!!!! Firstly remember that the odds that everything will be ok this time are in your favour so try not to stress! For me I felt the same way as you, the 1st number of weeks were long but my symptoms 2nd time round after a loss were very different which was very reassuring for me! We had a scan at 9 weeks because we were going abroad and I wanted to make sure everything was ok before then but trust how you feel! I’m now 16 weeks and all going well so good luck!! Xx

Answer

I have done hcg following my first loss (currently on my 4th pregnancy with no loving children). I like it for reassurance....it has also told me something is wrong in my second pregnancy (rates not increasing adequately).

Answer

After my chemical I found I was pregnant 3 months later, immediately called my doc to run hcg levels. And unfortunately it was impending miscarriage, first blood draw at 5 weeks was below 100. So it kinda prepared me for what was to come 😭
I mean it sucked knowing... but it would have really sucked not knowing and thinking “yay I’m pregnant” only to have bleeding a few days later 😩
