What causes decrease in HCG level during pregnancy?
Patient: Last week I did ultrasound and blood test. There was no heart beat of the baby from ultrasound and my HCG level initially it was 35000 then after 2 days it dropped to 31000. Now I am 9 weeks, still today the ultrasound result is the same. My doctors told me to do D&C but I really stressed Doctor: HiFall in HCG level with no heart beat is cosistent with finding of non viable pregnancy. As the repeat USg shows the same result, D and C is the right treatment
