Q&A: I want to know if there is another way to check on my pregnancy during the ninth week other than an ultrasound.

by Dr. Gerard M. DiLeo

I'm in my ninth week and want to make sure everything is fine with my baby. Could I take another pregnancy test to make sure I am still pregnant or are your hormones going to give you inaccurate information whether you are still pregnant or not?

The pregnancy hormones can still linger for a while even after a miscarriage, so the best way is to have an ultrasound. That will determine, without doubt, fetal well being. If your insurance won't cover it, offer to pay for it yourself if you're that concerned, but it may run you anywhere from $125 to $600!
