We did two in my Secomd pregnancy because of the miscarriage of one twin , but after the second result wasn't ver good, we went to US... and a lot of them when I had a big bleed.
I did with DD because I had had a m/c right before I fell pregnant with her and I felt like I needed some kind of information to make me feel everything was ok in there! But this time I didn't. I didn't see the point, I felt that if something was going to go wrong then I unfortunately couldn't do anything about it.
I have but only with this pregnancy due to past ectopic pregnancies and the increased risk of it happening again. I had 4 BTS for BHCG at 12DPO, 14DPO, 17DPO AND 19DPO (the first two were done by the IVF clinic and the second 2 the emergency department) I'd do the same next time also.
With DD's pregnancy we got two tests done to compare them (a few days apart) only because I'd had an early m/c before I conceived her and was a bit nervous and wanted it to feel real.
This time around, we didn't bother. Didn't want the stress.
First time I didn't, but it turned out to be a molar pregnancy.
Which is why for the second, and any subsequent, I was on 48 hourly, and then weekly betas up to 13 weeks. But I'd rather have them than a dating scan. Cos I'm weird like that
