[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anybody know if a follow up with your OB is required and/or necessary once your betas start dropping? I passed all of the tissue (I think) over the weekend. Due to work conflicts and scheduling conflicts with P&M I cannot get in for another 2 or 3 weeks. At that point is it even necessary to have a follow up ultrasound? I am leaning toward just not doing anything since my body seems to be taking care of the miscarriage itself. I just don't have time, nor the inclination to go back to the doctors again and spend more money on an unnecessary ultrasound.

[b]Also do you really need to monitor your beta all the way back down to zero? [/b] It has already started to fall per my last blood test on Sunday. [/quote]

Yes, you do.  Just saw this...I just posted a reply on your thread in the Expecting forum, but I wanted to reply here, in case this ever pops up in a search. 
It is very important that you do follow-up bloodwork to ensure that your betas end up negative following a loss.  Hopefully, if you've passed all of the tissue, then this will be a quick process for you.
I'm really sorry, OP.[/quote]

OP here - thanks for responding.  I didn't actually think of what a horrible extended process this would be once I started miscarrying.  Between work and other life issues I just have no idea if I have time to get to the doctors.  I guess I will have to try. [/quote]
