Possums - at 19DPO my levels were actually a LOT lower than yours - from what i can gather, my first BT is at what should have been 15dpo, result was 26. six days later it was on 270 (so 21DPO) - as much as the lower numbers worried me a little, they DID grow and that's the important bit. and the little gremlin kicking my internal organs at the moment shows that the actual number isn't the drama - it's the pattern of growth! as long as they are increasing every 24-72 hours (generally 24-48 hours is the "norm") you're on track. your concerns are more than understandable given your history though!
as to care - maybe talk to your middie about shared care options. i seen a GP up until 15 weeks, and won't see the OB again until 23-24 weeks - essentially, unless something happens that they deem me higher risk, i will see the GP for every second visit. i guess maybe later in the piece it might be more frequent with the Ob, but for now, it's pretty relaxed! we don't have the option of private hospital care either, so we're just going with the flow....
