Patient's question:
At 6 weeks and 6 days, there was some peeling and brown discharge. The hospital conducted a thorough check and found hCG levels over 30,000, while progesterone was only 13.4. The ultrasound confirmed a fetal heartbeat and no fluid accumulation in the uterus. The doctor prescribed progesterone and bed rest for 15 days to prevent miscarriage. At 8 weeks, hCG levels rose to over 90,000, and progesterone increased to 15.1. The focus was on taking medication to support the pregnancy. At 9 weeks, a recheck showed hCG levels dropping to over 70,000, and progesterone rose to 16.4. The ultrasound confirmed a fetal heartbeat and fetal bud, with the placenta measuring 1.0. The doctor advised taking progesterone for another week before a follow-up check on progesterone levels.Is it normal for hCG to rise at 9 weeks? Is the baby developing normally?
