Doctor as per beta hcg value which went down from 297 to 204 , it means that miscarriage will happen. And i should stop all the medicine. Then how come the ultrasound is showing positive sign. Here the doctor said the endomerial thickness for week 5 and 1 day i.e 7.8mm is less . Am confused what should i do?? Is it advisable to stop the medicine? Should i go.for one more beta hcg test.

Answered by Dr. Mahesh Koregol (6 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Continue medicines for another week

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Ultrasound scan is definitely showing pregnancy. There should be improvements by next week. If there is miscarriage, you won't see any improvement in the scan.

Meanwhile, continue medicines for one more week till next ultrasound scan.

Doctor since yesterday the flow has increased along with blood clots. Is it common or is it a sign of miscarriage? ? Should i go for an ultrasound ?

Answered by Dr. Mahesh Koregol (37 minutes later)

Brief Answer:
Take rest for 2 days

Hi XXXXXXX

This does not necessarily mean miscarriage. As of now no need of ultrasound scan. Just take rest for next 2 days. Only after decrease in bleeding you go for scan. Going for scan now is not advisable.
