[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would push for an HCG series. One data point won't tell you anything. You need a series of let's say, 6. That's the number of blood tests my OB orders for me. I've had multiple miscarriages and every time I can prepare for them when I see my HCG numbers declining.

I hope you see a heartbeat in 2 weeks![/quote]

No OB will do this. There’s nothing the dr can do short of progesterone. Is this your first op? [/quote]

PP you replied. You're funny. I've had multiple miscarriages, because I'm high risk, and every time I've been pregnant, my OB has ordered a series of HCGs.
It's an important monitoring tool, it's not a treatment or cure. 
You want to see my blood tests or something? :-)

NP, sure, that’s reasonable before you can visualize structures on an ultrasound (although 6 is a lot).  Once you can see structure on an ultrasound, the standard of care is serial ultrasounds, normally 1-2 weeks apart.

OP sorry for the fact you are in this situation. It’s so hard being in limbo. One day here or there can make a huge difference, that’s why my RE doesn’t like to schedule until middle to the end of the 6th week (I understand you didn’t know exact date of conception).  Equipment sensitivity can also make a huge difference, so depending on the type of ultrasound and quality people might see different things.  I think you have a reason to be hopeful! [/quote]
