What is hCG? When to do a blood test, hCG test?

• Our medicine obliges patients to take a lot of various tests to determine the state of health or ill health
• A few decades ago, we were surprised by the ability of doctors to talk about the absence/presence of pathologies or diseases.
• Now with the development of Internet resources, access to the study of material related to the purpose and decryption of a variety of tests and tests is open
• We can familiarize yourself with it in detail or superficially and ask the doctors questions. Although they really do not like the last moment, and sometimes annoying them

What is hCG? When to make a test?

• to understand how the baby develops in the womb of the mother
• with suspicions of the tumor
• to assess the quality of the artificial termination of pregnancy
• if there are threats of miscarriage

• alpha particles
• beta particles

• progesterone hormones, estrogens
• the work of the yellow body in the ovaries
• the normal development of the baby in the womb of the mother in the first trimester

• a week after fertilization
• a couple of days after the delay of menstruation

Blood test for hCG - Deciphering: table

• If you were assigned to donate blood to hCG, then do it in the morning on an empty stomach
• The unit of changes in the level of hCG is MME/ml - a militurial unit for mililiter. In the body of a non -pregnant woman, the indicator of chorionic gonadotropin ranges from 0 to 5 mm/ml
• From the moment of attachment of the fetal egg to the wall of the uterus, the female body begins the enhanced production of chorionic gonadotropin. On average, its amount doubles every day or three.
• This trend remains up to 9-11 weeks of pregnancy. Then the indicator is reduced and fixed at a specific level

HCG norm by day from conception

• Each laboratory has its own standards and norms for deciphering tests, including hCG in the blood
• On the other hand, due to the difference in calculating the gestational age, differences in the result of the concentration of chorionic gonadotropin are also possible
• The obstetric period is always more than embryonic, since it is counted from the first day of the last menstruation

How hCG grows during pregnancy

• Chorionic gonadotropin protects the embryo from the attacks of the mother's body. The latter in the early days and weeks perceives the first as a foreign body and tries to get rid of it, push out
• Therefore, hCG affects the zones of the brain that inhibit the functioning of the pregnant immune system. At the same time, this hormone takes control of the development of those substances that need an embryo for successful development and life
• Such a responsible mission of hCG is accompanied by its increase twice every one and a half-two days 5-7 days after conception. The dynamics of doubling remains up to 10-11 weeks of pregnancy. After the pace is reduced to a certain mark and persists until the end of pregnancy

HCG with frozen pregnancy

• The fading of pregnancy often occurs in the first trimester, rarely at a later date
• Due to the fact that the fetal egg remains attached to the wall of the uterus for some time, hCG is produced. Its concentration increases slightly until the embryo detach and its release

HCG during an ectopic pregnancy

• The embryo shell during an ectopic pregnancy produces a gonadotropin hormone in a significantly smaller quantity than with a normal location in the uterus
• You will not see the dynamics of doubling every 2-3 days. Nevertheless, the increase in the level of hCG is preserved, only by a significantly slow pace
• Sometimes it happens that an increase in the concentration of chorionic gonadotropin has a negative trend. That is, instead of growth, there is a clear insignificant decline

HCG by day

• Are you holding the results of the analysis on the hCG and do you see that the indicators vary around 5mm/ml? So the pregnancy has not yet occurred or you hastened with research
• If you compare the dynamics of changes in the chorionic gonadotropin with a table of its increase and you see that for a specific week your data is twice more, there is a high probability of multiple pregnancy
• Thanks to the hCG data, you can diagnose dual much earlier than ultrasound analysis
• Approximate figures for changing the amount of hCG in the blood with multiple pregnancy, see the table below. The first day of the last menstruation was selected by the starting point

HCG after ovulation

• On the third day after ovulation, the egg is fertilized. From this moment on, the shell of the fetal egg begins the production of chorionic gonadotropin, gradually increasing its concentration in the body of a woman
• Pharmacy tests for pregnancy are able to “feel” hCG in the urine when it is equal to or more than 25 mma/ml. That is, approximately 13-14 days after ovulation, or after 2-3 days of menstruation delay. In this case, the pharmacy test will show you a weak second strip
• In turn, a blood test for hCG will give a more reliable result, since it is able to catch the hormone of pregnancy in a concentration of 5 mm/ml. Therefore, the first time you can donate blood a week after ovulation and repeat the procedure after 2-3 days

HCG after IVF

• three -day
• five days

1. Therefore, the amount of hCG in the body of a pregnant woman is slightly different. For example, after the seating of a three -day embryo, the hormone of pregnancy has slightly greater values \u200b\u200bthan a five -day
2. Tables of norms and ranges of the HCG values \u200b\u200bafter the seal of embryos by eco you can easily find in the open rutes, as well as in the doctor who performed this procedure
3. If you have successfully passed the IVF procedure, be prepared for the first two weeks for constant monitoring of your condition. As soon as the level of chorionic gonadotropin reaches 100 mma/ml, you can be congratulated on pregnancy
