HCG levels went down @ 9 weeks!

Hello everyone,
This is my first time posting on here and I am really worried. I had my first appointment on Monday which included a transvaginal ultrasound and everything looked great with a HB of 166 BPM :) while I was there I also had some blood work done. After the appointment they asked that i come back in 2 days to make sure my HCG levels are going up. Today they called to tell me that my levels have dropped they went from a 94597 to a 93325 and that I will need to come back in next Wednesday for another ultrasound and bloodwork to make sure everything is ok..... I am so scared! This is my second pregnancy and we are really excited. I just told everyone and I pray I am not losing him or her. :(
Please let me know if any of you have had anything similar happen? If so what was the outcome!
Thanks in advance!

    T&P's! I may be wrong, but I thought that hcg levels started to drop off around 9-10 weeks?

    I'm surprised your Dr. ordered an HCG after a perfect U/S and detecting the heartbeat. I'll be praying for you and sending positive thoughts. 166 is a strong heartbeat so I would try and stay positive. Keep us updated.

    Thoughts with you lady-- I was under the impression that after a while HCG levels do drop (especially toward the end of 1st Tri) when the placenta starts to take over.... Either way I'm thinking all good thoughts for you.

    T&P for a healthy baby!! Try to stay calm, everything is probably fine. HCG does drop after a while.

    Actually, yeah - I just did a lot of googling and found the same thing. I wonder why your office is testing that so late? I always thought it was a very, very early first tri test. I could be wrong, but that was my impression.

    I wouldn't be too worried about your HCG levels. my doctor says they can fluctuate. As long as your not having any other issues you should be fine.

    Just focus on the fact that baby has a heartbeat and everything looks ok. Don't worry too much about the blood work just yet. Doc prob shouldn't have ordered that test cause it's just adding stress for you, but I hope all is well and you can put that behind you soon. Good luck!

    I fourth this. My Dr. said HCG peaks around 10 wks. I would not be super concerned if I was you. Your numbers are in the appropriate range and you had a strong HB and developmentally on track u/s. Try to relax. Good luck
