Can Your Hcg Beta Go UP After A Miscarriage?

I have had 7 miscarriages.  I am not a doctor.  I am quite sure you miscarried.  In my cases I have had the same thing happen.  The hcg level if it is a normal pregnancy should double every other day.  In your case it is not.  If you are not bleeding badly, and your body is not passing the pregnancy then you may need a d&c to get cleaned out.  Some times your body can absorb the pregnancy tissue.  But if your hcg level is flucuating and not going down to 0 most likely that is what will need to be done.  Or you may have to take a medication to help you pass the pregnancy. 
It is a very sad situation.  I am sorry you have to go through it.  Again, I am not a doctor but have gone through the same thing 7 times.  I have 4 children and am having my 5th in September. 
If you miscarry there is nothing the doctor can do to save the baby.  It is a normal thing and happens to a lot of people.  There are support groups out there if you need them.  You can check some out on the internet too.
Take care.

Well, the numbers went up again the following week to 200. When will they do down? How long will they continue to go up. My doctor did not recommend a D&C. This is not at all possible to be a viable pregnancy?

The presence of beta HCG levels in blood indicate pregnancy. Its levels below 0-5 means no pregnancy. After 5 weeks of pregnancy the normal levels are 18-7340. A level of 156 after 5 weeks your are pregnant. As you had bleeding, there are chances that all the contents of pregnancy were not aborted. For your satisfaction, get second opinion.

Warning this is graphic. I did bleed for 2 days, probably a pad every 3-4 hours. Only lasted 2 days, 2nd day not as much. I was very busy that day. My eldest daughter graduated from college! You say 156 is pregnant. Do you mean "alive" pregnancy? I guess I have to see the beta numbers next week. Thanks for your input.

I have had two miscarriages and two ectopic pregnancies.  It is possible that your hCG levels are fluctuating for the reasons Lisamarie1 gave but slow rising hCG levels are also a sign of ectopic pregnancy.  I have had two and with both of mine I thought I was miscarrying.  The symptoms are pretty similar to miscarriage but if your tube ruptures you will have a lot of pain.  I would make sure your doctor continues to monitor you to rule out ectopic pregnancy and if you notice any pain call your doctor right away or got to ER.
