Had a chemical pregnancy on 11/12 - ChatDoctor still hovering at 22.  Ultrasound shows normal - want to avoid a methotrexate (?) shot as well as a d&c.  Is there a way to reduce my ChatDoctor level?  I want to let my body do this on its own, but my doctor is making me nervous!
Hello, Serum beta-ChatDoctor levels usually take 3-4 weeks to come down after an abortion; sometimes as long as 6 weeks. The prior values influence the time taken for this fall in titles. Meanwhile, a follow-up trans-vaginal sonogram should be performed to see if there are any retained products of conception and if this so, you will need a check curettage. There are no treatment methods available to reduce the Chat Doctor titles as such. Medication such as that prescribed by your doctor is given when the titles are abnormally high even after 6 weeks. Hope this helps.
