Had my HCG back yesterday 218 clinic doesn’t want to be tested again.

Had my transfer on 16th of September they want me to have a scan next Friday so that would be about 5 and a half weeks to check everything is going in the right direction

I’m not sure what they would see that early.

Iv had cramps for the first 2 weeks then had a good few days of nothing, then since last night cramps again, low down no bleeding feels a bit period like I suffer with endometriosis so I always find I do have terrible period pains so I’m not sure as things may be slightly stretching it could feel slightly worse.

I’m notice to not to be too graphic when I’m putting the progesterone pessaries inside it feel slightly tighter now I’m not sure if that is also a normal sign.

Thanks for any advice x

first of all, congratulations on your pregnancy! This is wonderful news xx

I would insist on doing another blood draw, you want to make sure it’s doubling appropriately. Do Just for your own peace of mind, even if you have to do it privately. I always thought it was standard for clinics to check if betas are rising. My clinic does it all the way to 1000 hcg then they schedule in a scan (5 and a bit weeks).

Let me know how you get on xxx

Scan at 5 and half weeks is not early for some one in ivf treatment. But you can certainly ask for another beta .
