SO should I request another ultrasound. He just had me do more bloodwork and couldn't tell nothing so far. Just that on December 18 my HCG was 2000 and on January 29 it was over 20000. What would that suggest? He just did more bloodwork to see if there is a decrease and if so he suggests a D&C. Should I go by what he is saying or request another ultrasound?
