Quick background: I'm 36 and my first two pregnancies (both in the last year) ended in miscarriage at about 10w (MMC...both stopped developing at about 6w). I'm recently pregnant again, and on baby aspirin/progesterone routine...Just had first round of hCG and progesterone tests and everything looks normal (still need second hCG tomorrow to confirm, but fingers crossed .
My question is this: my doctor seems pretty optimistic that if tomorrow's hCG quants are good, then we can stop the hCG and P-testing until the first U/S (~7w)...but given my past MMCs, I'm inclined to do at least weekly monitoring...not just b/c I'm an anxious nut job right now, but mostly b/c I had symptoms of low P in BOTH of the last two pregnancies and think it's worth monitoring these, even with the progesterone suppositories that I'm using.
Has anyone else been in a similar situation, and if so, what did you test for (e.g., hCG, progesterone, anything else?) and how often? Also, feel free to share any reference websites/articles/etc. So grateful for this community and looking forward to hearing about your experiences!
