  Hey! Welcome! You're not alone in that nervousness. My doc told me to come in the day I got my bfp for blood work. Then they tracked my hcg and progesterone for the first week and got me an ultrasound at what I thought was six weeks but was actually 6.5 based on baby's size. Then they gave me another at the time of my mmc. Not the time of my d&c two weeks later but when they estimated I lost at nine weeks. They considered me high risk until that second ultrasound and then I wasn't high risk anymore. Have you told your doc you're pregnant again and gone in for blood work? That's where I'd start. Fingers crossed for you! Keep us posted.

  Hello! If your under 35 and have no other known medical conditions I don't think your considered high risk unless you've had two or more MCs. Each doctor handles this stuff differently. If I were you I'd call your OBGYN and ask them what their plan is on handling this pregnancy. I'd ask blood tests like HGRich had.

  Welcome, congrats! Sorry for your previous loss. Every OB office is so different- my guess is they will see you between 8-10 weeks but may run early bloodwork if you request it.

  Usually 8-10 wks for first appt, but I have found after my first loss the dr would totally do early scans for me if I asked. And betas and progesterone testing if I wanted.
  
  unless there is another issue I don't see why you would be high risk. I've had two losses and am now AMA but im
  still not considered high risk. 
  
  Congrats on your BFP!
