What Does Increased Beta Hcg Levels After An Abortion Indicate?

Brief Answer:
possibly an ongoing pregnancy
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to hcm,
As your beta hcg has increased and doubled after previous levels and still positive, it indicates that the abortion has been incomplete and there is possibly an ongoing pregnancy in situ.
It is suggested that you should get a transvaginal ultrasound to check for retained pregnancy first.
Possibly earlier bleed was a threatened miscarriage and not a complete abortion at all. So ultrasound pelvis is must hence.
