86 views

Miscarriage can be emotionally and physically challenging. hCG levels are a crucial indicator during early pregnancy, but miscarriage does not start at a specific hCG level. A declining hCG level, especially if it’s substantially dropping, may indicate a miscarriage. If hCG levels are not doubling approximately every 48-72 hours in early pregnancy, it could be a sign of an issue. Always consult with a healthcare provider for accurate diagnosis and support.
