At 4 weeks gestation, Hcg levels can be 5 - 426 mIU/ml. Hcg levels should be tested again to see if any rise in the levels occur.Any decrease in levels or very slow increase should be noted.
When there is a decline in the level of hCG from the first test to the second test, this often means a miscarriage may take place, also known as impending miscarriage.
I would suggest you to take Hcg again,continue duphaston and also consult your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
