I missed my period and underwent a beta hCG test, which came back positive with a result of 161. After 2 days, I repeated the test, and the level decreased to 96. Does this mean I am having a miscarriage? If yes, will it happen naturally, or do I need to take any medication for it? Please help.

A fall in Beta hCG from 161 to 96 in 2 days suggests a failing pregnancy or early miscarriage (chemical pregnancy). Most early miscarriages complete naturally without needing medication. You may experience bleeding similar to your period within a few days. Monitor for heavy bleeding (soaking more than 2 pads/hour), severe pain, or fever. Seek immediate care if these occur. You can book a repeat Beta hCG after 7 days to confirm that levels return to negative, indicating complete miscarriage.

I have a problem conceiving because my follicle does not rupture and forms a cyst even after taking Hucog. I consulted a very experienced gynecologist and told her my problem. She scanned me, checked all reports, and said there is no issue for conceiving. She asked me to let her see for one cycle. In this cycle, on the second day she prescribed two Letrozole tablets daily for five days and asked me to come for follow up from the tenth day. On day thirteen, the left follicle size was 22 mm. She gave me Matrena 10k injection and asked me to come on day seventeen. On day seventeen, she wrote in my file that the left follicle is 30 mm and the right is 20 mm, endometrium 8.8 mm, and gave me Meprate 10 from day eighteen for seven days. She said to come if my menstrual cycle starts on day two or three of the cycle, or even if I missed my period, to visit in 2 to 3 days. I want to know whether Meprate 10 helps for pregnancy or not. Is whatever is happening with my follicle normal or do I have any problem? All my reports are normal, including AMH 2.68, thyroid normal, and fallopian tubes normal.
