How many blood tests did you have?

in 1st Trimester
I had a blood test last Friday to confirm everything. My HCG level were at 250. My doctor had me come back yesterday morning to test again. She thought the 250 was low for when my last period was. Yesterday's numbers were 1100 which is better (I think?). She wants me to come back on Friday for one more test. Did any of you have this many HCG tests? Is this normal?

    I had 2 to check for hcg. My levels just more than doubled with the 2nd draw (and were on the higher side compared to the charts I found online). But I also had my first appt at 6 weeks due to a prior ectopic.

    Ok, so I guess this is normal. From the charts online my 1100 seems low, but my doctor just said it could be sluggish. I just want to make sure everything is moving along alright!

    I had two. One last Friday and one yesterday. They just wanted to make sure my levels doubled, which they did.

    I didn't have any blood tests to confirm my pregnancy. My doctor just trusted that my home pregnancy test was accurate. I won't even see her until I'm 9.5 weeks.

    Just one - they thought my HCG and progesterone levels looked really good for the week I was in.

    Same here. I wish I would of asked what the numbers were, but didnt think about it at the time! They originally told me to schedule a second, but then called and said it looked good so no need to go back for a second test.
