A member asked:

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?

2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

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.

See your Doc: If your HCG levels are still rising, you need to be re-evaluated by an Ob/Gyn. After a miscarriage, the levels should continue to drop to zero. Rising HCG levels after a miscarriage can indicate something serious such as Choriocarcinoma. Its also possible that the initial diagnosis of a miscarriage was incorrect. Don't wait to have it checked out. Best wishes!
