Patient's question:
At 6 weeks and 6 days, there was some peeling and brown discharge. The hospital conducted a thorough examination 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 for bed rest to support the pregnancy for half a month.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 reexamination showed hCG levels dropping to over 70,000, while progesterone rose to 16.4. The ultrasound confirmed a fetal heartbeat and fetal bud, with the placenta measuring 1.0. The doctor advised focusing on progesterone supplementation for a week before another progesterone reexamination.
Is it normal for hCG to rise at 9 weeks? Is the baby developing normally?
