Exclamation How long does it take for you hsg levels to drop?

I just lost my pregnancy at 4 weeks along
When I went to the er friday my hcg level wake as at 20. I go to the ob gyn thursday.

Also, ever since the loss I feel depressed, tired. I can't sleep and i have panic attacks. I feel dizzy, chest pain and shortness of breathe. could this be PTSD? I have a history of panic attacks and ever since this happened I think that I am dying. I don't take meds for it and I was wondering if anyone else felt this way too?

meggerpiez - I am so sorry for your loss. As you can see from my signature, I also suffered a loss recently. I was 18 weeks, but had also had a missed miscarriage at 11 weeks with his twin. I had my HCG levels tested on Friday, which was 3 weeks after and they were already back to zero. I would imagine it shouldn't take you much longer, did you have a natural miscarriage or a D&C? If there was any tissue left it could cause the levels not to drop.

After my loss, my OB had prescribed Ambien so I could sleep at night, and a mild Xanax for anxiety. It has helped a lot, and I was an absolute emotional wreck for the first two weeks, but I did sleep which is so important. Talk to your doctor, he/she should be able to prescribe something for you, but you should also talk to someone about how you are feeling, your dr should also be able to connect you with someone that can helo you sort out your feelings especially if you have a history of panic attacks.

I am so sorry, and I hope you feel better soon and do talk to your doctor about everything you are feeling.

Meggerpiez- So sorry for your loss. It took my HCG months to diminish,(see signature)however if you were already at 20 hcg, it shouldn't take too long now.

Mrs. M- Sorry for your loss as well.

Wishing us all peace and success in the future!
