In a healthy pregnancy, hCG levels will double (rise by 100%)every 48-72 hours.
Slow rising hCG levels (less than 66% increase in 48 hours) doesn't usually look good, however falling hCG levels during the first trimester means a non-viable pregnancy has occurred.
It's hard to say for certain what will actually always happen next. If the pregnancy is only in its earliest weeks, your body may take care of things naturally by absorbing the miscarried embryo and then having a heavier than usual period within a week or two.
Some women and their caregivers, rather than wait around to see whether nature will do its thing (as they find this too upsetting) opt for a D&C or a suction curette straight away.
If a miscarried pregnancy is confirmed but no period is forthcoming after a considered length of time, and a twin pregnancy has been ruled out, then as a safeguard against infection a doctor may recommend a D&C or suction curette.
All the best.

if your hcg level is going down, you are already miscarrying. i have gone thru it twice and know how hard it is. you can have a + preg. test for quite awhile yet as they detect a very small amount. so sorry for your loss. God Bless. if you have not been to the doctor you need to go pretty soon. and i guess it may be possible to not miscarry even though your hcg levels have gone down, but both times mine began to drop the doctors told me it was too late.

Not always. Sometimes it takes your body a lil bit to adjust. My friends levels went down for about a week then started going back up after she took a leave from work and stayed home in bed. She now has a healthy 10 month old girl.
The discharge can happen from implanation and its just not alot so it turns brown quicker before its out of your body.

Hard to say for sure - you may have a mega-period straight away, or you may not bleed at all and have to have a D and C.
Your doctor should be able to discuss this with you more fully.
