3 questions about Miscarriages

I have a few quick questions for the Experts!!
What happens to HCG Levels when someone has had a Miscarriage?
What are the primary symptoms of a Miscarriage? Just Bleeding?
If someone has one, what does the doctor do? I assume you go see the
doctor, but what does he check or do?
How soon after a Miscarriage can someone get pregnant again?
Thanks,
Carrie
