How many times is too many for bloodwork?

Question

So I got my first two positive pregnancy tests at the beginning of this week after missing my period. The had me come in for bloodwork Tuesday and Thursday, all they said was I had hCG levels of 43 and 71 respectively. They also said it is very early pregnancy. Now they want me to come in for more blood work and I’m already so bruised! 
I meant to ask, but why are they doing so much bloodwork? Is it because of how early I may be?? I feel like sexEd failed me for this 🙃

Answer

They want to make sure your levels are doubling as needed.

Answer

I go for blood work once a week. Not pregnancy related. It’s okay. Just when they take your blood keep extra pressure on it longer & avoid lifting anything too heavy close after. But the longer pressure should be helpful.

Answer

They want your levels to double. So far they haven’t so they want to keep checking to see if they do.

Answer

Girl I can relate to a lot of bloodwork. I did fertility treatments to conceive this baby and ive had multiple losses (bloodwork every other day for a week or so to monitor levels back to 0). My veins are probably permanently messed up 🥴 but they’re checking your levels to see if they will double. How many dpo are you?
