Had my follow-up u/s

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss

No tissue, just a little bit of fluid that's probably blood which they're confident is going to continue to pass on its own, so that's good.  

They had told me on Wednesday when I called to tell them I was miscarrying that I should come in next week to have my betas checked to make sure they were going down, but when I asked about it today the doctor said it was up to me whether I wanted to or not.  What do you think, should I go in again or not spend any more time in the freaking doctor's office?  (I've been there 6 times in the past 3 weeks already.)

    Like Theresa said, maybe do it at home for a couple weeks.  It has been 4 weeks since I had a d&c and still had a positive HPT so when I went for some other blood work I asked them to add the HCG labwork.  It came back at 49 and they want me to recheck in 2 weeks.  Who knows what will happen if it is still positive in a couple weeks.  I guess I will cross that bridge when I get there.  I am not sure if there is something to take to get it back to 0 faster or just wait it out.  GL to you and sorry for your loss.

    First off, I am sorry for your loss.

    I opted for blood work and had my betas drawn about a week after my m/c.  They were 79.  That was a pretty big drop because a week earlier they were 3,574.  I have a follow up on Tuesday and the nurse said they were going to do a urine test and if it comes up positive, they are going to send me back for additional blood work.

    You should do whatever seems best for you.  Taking a hpt to monitor will give you an idea of what is going on and also allow you to do that at home.  You can always decide you want to get bw done and have your dr call in an order for you.
