No. Bad sign.: The quantitative beta-hcg should double every 48h. This falling HCG is a very bad sign. The pregnancy is not viable. The worst possible scenario is a tubal pregnancy that is stagnating but present, and may rupture a tube possibly causing fatal bleeding. It's time for an ultrasound to check out where this pregnancy is. With falling numbers like this, you should be bleeding and miscarrying. Go in!

Sorry: These numbers not consistent with a viable pregnany. It does not lower your chances for a successful pregnancy next time though. I'm sorry to tell u but i'm sure your OB did. Good luck.
