Hi there,
Welcome to HCM,
Do not worry. If the last scan showed embryo with a good fetal heart, this decreases the chances of miscarriage drastically.
Also, the discharge you are having is light brown not red or bright red, so it makes it more likely to be old clotted blood.
A repeat scan is required only after 10 days of the last one, so do not worry. HCG values are of little help now and need not be repeated.
So please continue Folic acid, Duphaston and see your doctor as scheduled.
Hope this helps.
Regards.
