Possibly: These are concerning findings, keep in contact with your doctor to follow up closely, sooner if bleeding increases or any new symptoms appear. Also know this is very common in early pregnancy. Be sure to talk to your doctor before getting too worried or coming to any conclusions.

Possibly: Having a dropping HCG level with bleeding is concerning. Consider repeating in 48hrs to see if levels still dropping--if so, discuss with your doctor. That finding is likely consistent with an abnormal pregnancy.

Family practice: Any viable pregnancy should have an increase in hcg. A miscarriage is your body ridding itself of a non viable fetus.
