Miscarriage: How long for HCG to drop?

On 1/23 we had a miscarriage. Since I wasn't naturally miscarrying we chose to take Motrical to get the process started. The baby had stopped growing 2 weeks prior. I went back to the doctor 4 days later to have an u/s and get my HCG levels checked. The u/s showed that everything should have been cleared out. My HCG levels were at 5,000. On 2/5 we checked them again and they had fallen to 70. How long should it take

I'm sorry for your loss. Unfortunately there is no way of knowing how long it will takefor levels to go down because everyone is different and evey time is different. I had a D&C with my last loss and it took 7 weeks for my levels to return to 5 from about

Thanks Laura! I'm so sorry for your loss. I appreciate all of the information you provided. Tomorrow I'm going back to have my levels checked again. So I guess we'll see. I'll keep you posted and let me know how your doing as well.


I'm ready to jump back on the TTC train as well. It is so hard waiting.
