Well I miscarried about 4 days ago or so and I went in a couple times to get my blood drawn and stupid vaginal ultrasounds.. well my levels had dropped dramatically each time and the docs keep calling for me to come back and i haven't. Honestly i dont see the reason. I get upset everytime i go there and if they are dropping just fine waht's the point? They have to return right? I just really dont wanna go back to hear oh they dropped.. fan freakin tastic

Today is my 25th birthday, to my somewhat lack of surprise I can see already no one really seems to care. I've always been the kinda person to make sure that everyone I Care about feels appreciated and knew somebody had their back. I can count 4 times this year when I Went out of my way to make sure a "friend" felt good on their birthday, especially if they got left hanging. Its early in the...
Hope I was helpful. :)
i was wanting to make sure they dropped because a) didnt want there to be left over tissue or anything and b) once they reach 0 you are able to ovulate and start having cycles again. its important to me to finally be able to have all the products of this pregnancy out of my body so i can move on..and i consider the hcg still left in me to be exactly that, a reminder of the pregnancy.
my d&c was a month ago yesterday, but i knew the pregnancy was not viable since 12/29.. so i've had a bit more time than you of dealing and grieving. don't get me wrong, i am and will always be heartbroken, but i think ive moved on to the angry phase, where i just want to get back to "normal"
I had a natural miscarriage at home, I had follow up ultra sound and bloods about 1 week and 4 weeks after the begining of the miscarriage.
There after I didn't have further testing, but my levels were very low before i miscarried, so I assume the Dr i saw didn't think it needed following up in my case.
Everyones case is different, and I suggest that even though it is shitty and uncomfortable and you'd really rather not go, that you do go.
Make sure you give your body what it needs so that you don't worry about it later on.
I send you huge warm hugs.

I know it hurts to keep going back to get blood drawn as a reminder that you just lost the life inside of you. I hated going. There were always women there who just found out they were pregnant. The reason I knew this was because it was a military hospital and they give every newly pregnant woman a bag of goodies and send them to the lab to get OB labs done. So,I always saw them with the goodie bag and knew they were expecting and I wasn't. It sucked having to go to radiology to get u/s done to check if my pregnancy was viable because I'd always see pregnant women walking out of there looking at their u/s pictures. The constant reminders make it difficult, but it's important to get the healthcare that you need. Take care.
My situation was weird. I went in for my first u/s and they thought the baby was smaller then it should've been but said there was a heart beat. My OB called me two weeks later. I had already started bleeding before my next appointment, I hadn't had any blood work done. I lost my baby over the week at home nautrally. I had an u/s done after my M/C and more blood drawn. My HCg levels were already coming down by this point. My OB called for a f/u about a week after and she did a PAP and didn't even do a urine test or anything like that.
I haven't had an appointment since then, but since I got a visit from AF the other, I think I'm fine.
I just wanted you to know my story so you know that everybody's is different and might depend on your doctor.

I did not have to have my levels checked however I had a D&C also. Since they removed everything they had less to worry about.
If the testing will prevent you from a D&C I would suggest going in for them. I sooo understand the pain of going however. When I went in for my first yearly exam after my loss I broke down in the Dr office and they had to medicate me to calm me down.
That drs office to this day makes me shake just thinking of it. But each time it gets better. Maybe just a little but better.
