My LMP was Sept 19, 2009. I had a positive pregnancy test on October 23rd & 24th. My periods are very regular. On October 28th I started bleeding heavily and cramping for a good 4 days, with very dark brown blood on the fifth day. I new I was miscarrying. I went in for blood work on that day of the first bleed and my levels were 35 then that friday they were 39. Then I went in this Monday the 2nd and they were 56. On tuesday I finally got to see my Ob/gyn she did a vaginal ultrasound and everything looks ok no bleeding or sac, ovaries looked clear etc. So it seems it was a very early miscarriage. She wants me to continue on Monday with another HCG level blood work taken to make sure it goes down.
My question is~ #1~why did these go up after the bleeding has ended. Is this normal? She was not concerned but said she wants to see the levels go to 0.
And #2~ could i have an ectopic preganncy etc even if i feel great? I guess i am worried about this level leading into something serious?
Please..What are your thoughts?
Thank you.

 Hello,
It varies but it can take up to six weeks for hCG levels to return to 0. I would not suspect pregnancy with these numbers and ectopic pregnancy does have symptoms so the fact you feel great would suggest no problem.
Good luck with your future pregnancy planning.
