I will not be able to answer them. Dr. McIntosh, My HCG levels have slowly been dropping (slowly but surely). Shortly after the miscarriage my levels decreased 200 pts, but the next week they shot up higher than the first test. This alarmed my OBGYN and he gave me my first dose of methotrexate. They began falling at that point, but extremely slow. The levels began at around 2000 and now are at 14 as of last Monday. Four months have past since the first test.
