What Cause High Levels Of HG Of 400 After Miscarriage?
hi, i had a miscarriage 2 weeks ago and have been for 3 blood tests since then to check my HG levels. Since those 2 weeks it has only dropped from 475 to 400. The hospital has asked me to go back next week for another blood test. Why is my HG levels not going down

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your clinical history and query, my opinion is as follows:
1. It takes 4-6 weeks for HCG level to return to normal.
2. HCG has a higher half life and it would take time to reduce. Not to worry as it reducing.
3. If it is further increasing, molar pregnancy might need to be evaluated. However, as it is reducing, you need not worry about it for now.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
