How long until HCG levels go down? (TMI)
With my first miscarriage my levels were only at like 47, with this one they were at almost 2000. I really do not want to have a D&C as hospitals give me anxiety. I am working on day 4 of bleeding. Its like a normal but heavier period..today I haven't passed any tissue just lots of blood clots. I have already passed ( Ihope) most of the tissue. So how until HCG levels go down from this point? I am getting HCG levels checked this friday and I am REALLY hoping they are low enough that it will be my last blood draw as my arms are completely bruised already from the past HCG tests...:(
Your stories and answers will help as I am very anxious and nervous and want to make sure I am ok. :(
Every time it is different
I had a natural m/c that completed in one day. The levels were above 6000, but I think they went down pretty quickly. I got my period 3 weeks later. The next cycle after that was completely normal, with ovulation.
I had a missed m/c at 10 weeks. I bled for 2 weeks and nothing was happening, finally I decided to have D&C to speed things along. I do not know how quickly the levels went down after that or what they were, but there was a heartbeat at 6 weeks, so they were probably pretty high. After D&C I bled every 2 weeks for the next 3 months, it took 3 months to get a normal cycle. I guess D&C does not always make things faster.
Then I had an ectopic that was treated with the methotraxate shot, my levels at the time were 2600. My doctors said it will take as long for your levels to go down as your pregnancy lasted, so if you were pregnant 7 weeks it will be 7 weeks for them to go down. I did not belive him, but he was right.
