Hi SaraJane,
First, more warm and gentle hugs to you from me
Your story sounds similar to mine when I lost an angel in November 2005. I too went for an US and I knew it was all over and that there was no hope, but they (medical professionals) weren't willing to accept that, just in case. I really wanted to have a D&C ASAP, so we could just get it all over and done with and start again. But they weren't willing to do that until they were absolutely sure that it wasn't a viable pregnancy, because miracles really do happen (even though I knew that I would not be having a miracle). So yes, I went and had repeat blood tests and another US (thankfully they didn't make me wait longer than a week) just to confirm everything.
So, if you don't want to have a D&C, I can't see any reason why you would need to have the repeat blood tests. Like others have suggested though, go and have another US, just to check, when it's all done.
More hugs
Rachel.
