HCG levels (loss is not the topic)

I was doing some light reading and read something that said at 9 and 10 weeks your hcg levels actually start to drop.  Is this true?  if it is true any idea why?  Just curious!!

    Yes. It is true. I'm not sure why but I think it has to do with needing hcg less once the placenta and umbilical are formed, but I can't remember for sure.

    I'll add that some things I've read puts the start of the decline later in second trimester.

    I wonder if that hormone drop accounts for morning sickness finally going away around that time?
