Question 1

will hcg level decrease in tubal pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Doubtful: Unless it ruptures, which is really dangerous. Most ectopics plateau (level out) before this.

Question 2

does the morning after pill decrease or increase hcg levels?

Accepted Answer

Morning after pill: Prevents pregnancy.

Question 3

what would be a normal decrease in hcg levels after a miscarriage happens?

Accepted Answer

Depends: It depends on how high the level was to begin with.  If the miscarriage is complete, the level will go down quite rapidly and generally should be negative in 10-14 days.

Question 4

do hcg levels increase during a miscarriage or increase then decrease? was told i miscarried. in 1 week level went from 412 to 3548. 2nd opinion?

Accepted Answer

Decrease: HCG levels should decline rapidly after a miscarriage. There are a couple of reasons for the increase, (1) you are pregnant again, (2) if that is not the case, please consult your doctor to rule out retained products of conception that may still be growing and need to be addressed.

Question 5

i had ectopic preg. and had to get a 2nd methotrex. shot. my hcg levels started to decrease, each time i got labs done it decreased by 15%. my most recent drop was significant, went from a 1061 to a 330 however after the 330 it went to 353. normal?

Accepted Answer

: Although the HCG levels are low (330,353), given the persistence of the positive testing, it may reflect that some placental tissue is still viable.  See your GTN physician, who may suggest a diagnostic laparoscopy to evaluate the ectopic location.

Question 6

hello, dr,i did 3 positive test at home & all positive. i had slight bleeding too.my hcg levels decrease 519-85. we did ultrasound, dr couldnot figure?

Accepted Answer

I am sorry: Usually the combination of bleeding and dropping hcg means that you are no longer pregnant. Take care.

Question 7

is 806 a good number for hcg to be at 4 weeks & 4 days pregnant? checked hcg level since i miscarried last year & levels were low. results were 806. is this a good sign? also, my cervix still feels like its in a lower position, is this bad?

Accepted Answer

: HCG values are quite variable in normal pregnancies. Your level is in the normal range. You should repeat the test in 2-3 days and if the level more or less doubles, that would be good. Do not be concerned about the cervix.

Question 8

i'm approx 5 wks of.having lower then usual hcg levels but they are doubling every 48 hrs...is this ok since they are doubling? should i be concerned?

Accepted Answer

Would recommend u/s: Although probably nothing to worry about I would still recommend an early ultrasound

Question 9

after medical abortion, hcg levels went down and other signs are now gone. but now 7 weeks after the procedure, lower bellly is firm and no period yet?

Accepted Answer

Need more info: Have you been having unprotected sex during this period? Your profile states you being a 22 year male, which is obviously incorrect. You may wish to do a home pregnancy test.

Question 10

is it possible for hcg level to slightly decrease and go up again?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Hcg levels do vary in a normal pregnancy. See this site for more info.
