What Causes High Level Of HCG During Pregnancy?

Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here...i am 6 weeks pregnant and 1 week ago was told i was expecting triplets and just miscarried my hcg levels were 3500 and could see fetal sac but no yolk sac or fetus today they dropped to 3105 2 sacs are still there with no fetus. Are there any chances it is not a blightend ovum and could have 2 or 1 healthy fetus and rising hcg levels

HI,
I understand your concern.
HCG is a pregnancy hormone essential for fetal development.So HCG levels are indicators of pregnancy status.
You had triplets. In some cases one or two of the triplets can get aborted & one may remain intact.
* IN early pregnancy up to six weeks fetus has just a yolk sac .. and at 6.5 to 7 weeks fetal pole appears in the USG
I feel you should follow both HCG testing & USG scanning for one more week .. to confirm the pregnancy status.
So, cheer up. hope for the best. Take rest, nurishing diet & medications advised ..& wait for a while before comming to conclusion. Be in touch with your gynecologist & believe his conclusion & advise.
If not this time, you may get in near future. Be positive.
thanks.
