Wow. I've never heard or read about routinely doing HCGs after a
"routine" AB in the last thirty-some years.
Considering that 15-25% of pregnancies end early, think of the cost of
such a recommendation. It would be hard for me to justify any benefit.
This is like getting a chest x-ray for every hospital procedure (like I
remember being required for INPATIENT D&Cs decades ago).
