Pregnancy hormone: Early pregnancy bleeding and threat of miscarriage is best monitored through serum (blood) HCG levels, preferably at the same lab for comparison purposes. This, coupled with clinician evaluation of the uterine cavity with tvus, and review of blood testing can help determine if the pregnancy is viable. You may need Rhogam injection if you have rh negative blood so please speak with your physician.
