A member asked:

My hcg levels dropped no fetal heart beat measuring 6 weeks am i miscarrying only light spotting ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be: The data you provided, falling HCG levels, is not a good sign. No heat beat at 6 weeks may be because it is too early. Fetal heart beat can be detected at about 6 weeks by vaginal ultrasound. At this stage, please wait and hope for the best, as there is not much that can be done.
