Missed miscarriage, 6.5 wks took cytotec at 11wks to abort. 6wks later hcg 59, had methotrexate. 3wks later still have hcg of 34. why wont it go down?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
It should over time: Methotrexate causes slow deterioration of the HCG producing chorionic villi and as a result serial HCG's are done to note if the result is trending downward or not.
