HCG after D&C

I had an D&C December 30th. I didn't get my HCG tested until about 6-7 weeks after. My levels still haven't dropped. Has anyone experienced this? I was checked and everything is clear. And I have gotten my period twice since Dec 30th. The doctor just says its dropping slowly and it's not a problem. But didn't think I should try until it's a 0. It's torture waiting for this number to drop!!
