    @ultratomato When working with an RE at least for me I get weekly checks. So that's blood and ultrasound. I had my first ultrasound yesterday and bloodwork and my hcg was over 8000. They also keep checking for progesterone. I go back next Friday for a six week ultrasound and bloodwork.

    @ultratomato I'm sure it will but I know how nerve wracking it is. My numbers doubled. We saw something on ultrasound and now I'm thinking that I hope we see or hear a heartbeat. Constant worry. But I'm trying to take it day by day and each day I don't bleed I have to think positively and assume that everything is ok. After the RE we won't be getting so many appointments.
