Does hCG drop immediately after a miscarriage?

Patient's question:

Today morning, my wife accidentally fell and had a miscarriage. I wanted to ask you if the hCG level would rise immediately after a miscarriage?

Doctor's answer:

Generally, it will take about a week to basically return to normal range, so it's important to avoid overexertion. It is recommended to go to the hospital promptly to have a follow-up ultrasound and blood hCG test to check the condition. Pay close attention to any abdominal pain or bleeding. Avoid consuming extremely cold or irritating foods and have a follow-up ultrasound in a few days to ensure any residual products are cleared. If it is a natural miscarriage, it is still important to prevent anemia.
