Hi,
Thanks for the query.

If the baby condition is good usually you won't get HCG levels as zero.
Though after 9 weeks the levels can decrease to some extent but may not reach zero.
Sometimes false negative beta HCG test results can come due to the masking effect antibodies etc.
So you once repeat the test in some other lab.
You can take HCG injections to increase the levels.
After followup scans you can decide further regarding the continuation of the treatment.
For more details you can ask me through: http://www.healthcaremagic.com/doctors/dr-sree-gouri-sr/63429
Take care.
