My daughter is about 3 weeks pregnant and
her hcg level was 245 two days ago and
they repeated it today and it went down to
118 today. What could be happening?

Dear katy,
maybe they miscalculated her hcg count the
first time. If her hcg level was going
down that quickly she would be
experiencing a threatened miscarriage, but
if she is not showing any signs of
bleeding, abdomen pain or lower back pain
then there shold be no reason for her to
worry. The hcg levels should be going up
not down. Maybe she could have her hcg
levels monitored over the next week, and
if her hcg levels are still going down
with no bleeding or abdomen pain then her
doctor may request an ultrasound.
