Hi Dee,

Firstly congratulations on yuor pregnancy, I hope you have a happy and healthy pregnancy.

I take Vitamen B6, predominately because it helps with morning sickness and folic acid. My OB then recommends you either take Blackmores or Elevit pregnancy tablets from 16 weeks.

As for your HCG levels, they only really need to be tested if you either have problems. I had bleeding at 5.5 weeks after that my HCG levels were taken every day to make sure that they were increasing, I was then sent for an ultrasound to make sure everything looked okay. I have not heard of people checking HCG levels if there are no problems.

This website has grea tinformation or I found calling the nureses at the family planning clinic very helpful if you wanted a quick answer.

Hope that helps.

Lisa
