hCG level at 2 after miscarriage?

Question

I had a miscarriage Sunday July 30th. I was about 5 weeks pregnant. I bled for exactly a week before, and then 4 days after.

I got blood work done this past Monday, so the 21st, and my doctor told me I had an hCG level of 2.

She told me that it meant my miscarriage had completed on its own. Did I hear her wrong? Did she say .2 instead? If not, is 2 kind of high for having had a miscarriage 3 weeks beforehand?

What would my expected hCG levels be for 3 weeks after a miscarriage if I was 5 weeks pregnant?

Answer 1

actually 2 is not bad at all considering your hcg levels double everyday. at 5 weeks mine was at 3000. but when you lose a baby they dont drop as fast as they go up. because your body doesnt accept right away that the baby isnt there anymore. They claim that it can take up to 4- 6weeks for your levels to drop to zero after a miscarriage. so another couple of days you should be at 0. but 2 is just the number 2 not very high at all. and to be honest 2 sounds just about right.

Answer 2

You heard correctly. In a normal pregnancy the HCG levels go up as the pregnancy progresses, especially in early pregnancy. A level of 2 means you are no longer pregnant.

Answer 3

I am not sure about the hCG levels just wanted to say sorry for your loss.
