I'm Currently Feeling: | I feel hard done by!!! My doctor told me that they don't do them as standard - only if you have been having a problem or have reasons in your fertility/pregnancy history for doing them.
I would quite like to have one done, so that I know that my levels are going up. My boobs are really sore today and I did yet another pregnancy test this afternoon and it says that I am still pregnant (the line is darker).
I should probably stop worrying! |

I'm Currently Feeling:  | They don't do them as standard here Poppy! 
Ive had loads of hCG tests done but thats because of my history however I moved the day my period was due and knew I was PG. I rang the MWs here as soon as we were here who were great at helping me & contacted a consultant who demanded I seen the EPU as well as him taking me on before I even had a GP but they wouldn't do a hCG count on me here. I was quite pissed about that tbh but hey ho but as standard I know most areas won't do them. seems different abraod though. |

I'm Currently Feeling: | I think it is mandatory to check these levels in Canada.
my doctor based the progress of my pregnancy solely on those results.
You should demand it either way, it is your body and you have the right to know. |
