Wondering about HCG Levels

[liz0011]

I am due to have a breast augmentation on 6/13/08 and my pre-admission testing is on 6-6-08.
On my pre-admission date it will be six weeks since my abortion.
I'm going to my obgyn to get a blood test a week before for my hcg levels.
If they have declined between the testing from my obgyn and my pre-admission testing, but still present, will they still perform the surgery?
Again my pre-admission testing will be 6 weeks post-ab
and actual surgery 7 weeks post-ab.

Thank you so much for your help! Hope to hear from you soon!!!!

I doubt that your HCG levels will postpone your procedure, but your plastic surgeon and ob-gyn should be aware of the results and advise you if they have any objections to the surgery.

Well I was hoping that them knowing that i did have an ab, and knowing nothing was left behind, and it will be seven weeks post-op. But i'm just afraid that my pre-testing will come back neg. but i guess time will tell. the nurse at the plastic surgeons office also said that if the hcg levels still showed up that they could still do another test the day before my surgery again. So if they are low enough i'm guessing they will still go on with the surgery?
Thanks so much for your help again!!!!!
