Hello dear

Understand your concern
HCG come back to normal level after 4-6 week of miscarriage. Get back to normal in surgical abortion. But you have natural miscarriage so some part of placenta may be there in the uterus that still secret the HCG and thats why HCG is slight high in your case.
I advice you to consult the gynecologist and get the USG done to confirm the some retain bit of placenta or conception. If it is there it should be removed by curettage as it increase risk of infection.
If no retain placental bit has been found, your HCG level come back to normal with in 4-5 weeks.
Take rest, analgesic, antibiotics and maintain prelvic hygiene to prevent infections
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
