Blood work? How often after m/c?

in Miscarriage/Pregnancy Loss
I had blood work done at the hospital yesterday, when I found out that there was no baby. My OB called today and wants me to go get more blood work done tomorrow. I'm just wondering how long I will have to keep going back. Can anyone help explain this to me? I'm sure its to measure my levels, but just wondering how long until they drop?

    I very sorry for your loss.  Hmmmm...are you having a natural m/c or d&c or meds?   Typically for natural m/c your OB will follow your betas to 0.  For d&c and meds it depends on the dr.  Sorry if I'm not much help.

     Also, to get to 0 it really just depends on the individual and how high your #'s were to begin with.

    It is different for every woman and every pregnancy and it depends on how far along you were.

    Mine dropped quickly from 78 to 32 to less than 2 a week later. 

    I'm very sorry for your loss...

    Everyones different. I had a mc last week and my levels went from the thousands to 200 in a couple of days. I went back today and they went from 200 last monday to 7.5 today. I also inquired about the same thing earlier and I got a response from a girl who miscarried a couple of weeks ago and hers was still 2 or 3,000 (don't remember for sure).

     Mine is pretty closet o be done. Then I can't wait to ttc again. I'm hoping for a fall baby!

    I'm sorry, I know this is frustrating. Like pp said, every person is different. It took me 4 weeks after my m/c for my levels to get close to 0.

    I don't know yet... I went in today and they scheduled me for a follow up in one week.

    Every body is different.  I naturally m/c on November 7 and I had some odd bleeding within the last week or so - my levels are still at 15 and it's been almost 2 months.  It's fustrating I know.  Hang in there.  ((HUGS))  Kel

    So sorry for your loss. 

    Everyone drops at a different rate... At first I had my blood drawn every two weeks but I am a "slow" dropper and needed a second D/C so its been months (M/C 8/14, D/C 8/19, D/C 10/15)... I did start scheduling my draws three weeks apart becuase I was tired of going to the Dr all the time.  The Dr told me she is just looking for at least 15% every two weeks... and a continued drop.  The continued drop is important because of teh molar preg issue. 

    Best wishes and hang in there!
