The so-called HCG, also known as human chorionic gonadotropin, is a substance secreted by the placental trophoblast after the fertilized egg begins to implant and released into the blood of the expectant mother.
Usually after pregnancy, HCG levels will double every other day. In the first two weeks of pregnancy, the HCG level is only between 50 and 500, but it will double every other day.
At the beginning of pregnancy, the doctor will check the HCG level of the expectant mother. If the doubling is good, it means that chorionic gonadotropin is normal. If the doubling is not good, there may be a risk of abortion, which requires timely abortion treatment.
Of course, if the baby develops normally, the HCG level is definitely within the normal range. It should be noted that if expectant mothers have symptoms of redness or abdominal pain in the first trimester, they must seek medical attention in time.
In short, at the beginning of pregnancy, as long as the HCG level doubles every other day, the baby can grow normally. It is recommended that expectant mothers follow the doctor's advice and actively cooperate with the examination.
Women find that they are pregnant. Many pregnant mothers develop in 5-6 weeks, because many girls find that they are pregnant because of menopause. They only check whether they are pregnant or whether I have an ectopic pregnancy. However, when checking, some data are still very important, such as HCG and progesterone values, which have a great relationship with the baby's development.
If you don't understand the meaning behind this value, many pregnant mothers will compare their inspection reports with those of other pregnant mothers without knowing much, so the data gap is particularly large. First of all, because the gestational age is different, there are different people who can't compare, because pregnant mothers are flustered when they see the big gap.
HCG is short for human chorionic gonadotropin. After the fertilized egg is implanted, the villi begin to stretch out their tentacles to grasp the uterine wall, and the fetus continues to develop. More and more villi will form a film, which is chorion.
There are blood vessels everywhere in the chorion, which are connected with the embryo and can provide nutrition and metabolic waste for the fetus. It is very familiar with the function of placenta, and the value of HCG is changed because of the secretion of hormones by chorion.
Similarly, chorionic hormone will also enter the blood of pregnant mothers, so when checking HCG, look at the value of HCG through blood test. From this value, we can know the situation of the fetus. If the value is abnormal, it may be caused by stunting.
The first trimester is when the fetal heart rate is unstable, so the HCG value is very important. Some hidden dangers of the fetus can be understood through numerical values, so as to eliminate risks in time.
We often say that HCG doubles, and the doubling of these two values is the comparison between the first day and the second day. Therefore, pregnant mothers should check once the next day after the check-up on the same day. Compared with the two inspection reports, we can know whether HCG and progesterone are normal.
The most serious time of HCG doubling is in the stage of 6-8 weeks of pregnancy, so it is best to check it at this time, but after 8 weeks, the HCG value will reach a stable level, so there is no need to check it.
The two values of HCG and progesterone are closely related, so we should not only pay attention to HCG, because HCG can promote the secretion of progesterone. If progesterone is abnormal, it may be because the growth of HCG is abnormal, which has affected the secretion of progesterone.
How much HCG can ensure the normal development of the fetus? This is not stipulated. As long as it's not too low, it's twice the normal value, which means that the fetal development is still good, but it can't guarantee nothing, because it's just an auxiliary examination and can't be diagnosed.
In the early pregnancy, the embryo secretes HCG, which promotes luteal development and secretes progesterone, while progesterone inhibits uterine contraction to ensure the normal development of the fetus in the uterus, and the progesterone level will also increase with the increase of HCG level. However, if the secretion of HCG is insufficient, the luteal function of ovarian pregnancy is reduced and the level of progesterone is insufficient, it will be difficult to ensure the normal development of the fetus and cause spontaneous abortion.
Before answering this question, we need to understand several basic concepts, so as to better understand the problem.
HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a glycoprotein hormone secreted by the trophoblast of embryo or placenta.
The main function of HCG is to stimulate the menstrual corpus luteum to change from menstrual corpus luteum to pregnant corpus luteum, and at the same time promote the continuous secretion of estrogen and progesterone, maintain the morphology of endometrium, promote the formation of decidua of uterus, and make placenta grow and mature, which is very important for maintaining pregnancy.
Under normal circumstances, HCG first appeared after the late embryo sac was implanted into the uterus. With the increase of gestational age, HCG gradually increased, reaching the peak at the gestational age of 8- 10, and then decreased. However, it is impossible to judge whether the fetus can grow normally by a single HCG value. It is often necessary to check HCG every other day to judge the activity of embryos. If HCG is doubled, the embryo survival rate is high. If HCG doubles seriously, or even drops, it means that the embryo is stunted.
Embryonic heartbeat usually occurs around 7 weeks of pregnancy. The earlier the embryo has a heartbeat, the lower the probability of embryo abortion.
To sum up, we can't judge fetal activity simply by HCG value, but we need to combine HCG doubling and fetal heart rate to judge whether the embryo is normal or not. Good luck with your pregnancy.
Thank you for your invitation. I'm Shen Huan, a reproductive doctor. I'm glad to answer this question for you.
Whether the fetus can grow normally is not determined by HCG alone. Sometimes even if HCG rises well, the embryo will stop developing. Moreover, the value of HCG fluctuates at different times, and the interval is very large. Therefore, there is no way to judge whether the fetus can grow normally by HCG alone.
What is hCG test?
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone secreted by placenta after embryo implantation in uterus.
The role of hormones is to tell your body to continue to produce progesterone and prevent menstruation. This will protect the endometrium and your pregnancy.
If the hCG content in your urine is high enough, the pregnancy test stick can detect it. This is how the test determines that you are pregnant. But only a blood test can give an accurate hCG value.
Standard hCG level
The standard hCG levels of different women vary greatly. This is because hCG level really depends on your normal condition, your body's reaction to pregnancy, and how many embryos you carry. The female body's response to pregnancy is completely unique.
The following table provides you with a guide to the normal range of weekly hCG levels during pregnancy. HCG levels are measured in international units (mill) of HCG hormone per milliliter of blood.
5-50mg/ml for 3 weeks
4 weeks 5–426 mg/ml
5 weeks18–7340mg/ml
6 weeks1080–56500mg/ml
7-8 weeks 7650-229000 mg/ml
9- 12 weeks 25700-288000mg/ml
13- 16 weeks 13300-254000 mg/ml
17–24 weeks 4060–165400 mg/ml
25-40 weeks 3640-117000mg/ml.
HCG levels usually continue to increase until 10- 12 weeks of pregnancy, when HCG levels tend to be stable or even decrease. This is why the symptoms of pregnancy will be more serious in the first three months of pregnancy. After this time, many women's symptoms will be alleviated.
In early pregnancy, hCG levels usually double every two to three days. Interestingly, when the measured values start to get higher, they don't expand at the same speed. If they start slowly, they will grow faster.
If your hCG level is below the normal range, your doctor may want you to have a blood test every two to three days to make sure your level is rising. It is useless to measure your hCG level once. In order to give accurate instructions, a series of hCG blood tests are needed every few days, and the readings are compared. With the rapid increase of the number, especially in the first few weeks of pregnancy, there are often changes.
Causes of low hCG level
If your hCG level is below the normal range, this is not necessarily a cause for concern. Many women have healthy pregnancies and babies with low hCG levels. Most women never have reason to know their hCG levels.
However, sometimes low hCG levels may be caused by potential problems.
Calculation error of gestational age
Generally speaking, the baby's gestational age is calculated according to the date of your last menstruation. This is easy to be misjudged, especially if you have an irregular menstrual history or are not sure of your date.
When low levels of hCG are detected, it is usually because the pregnancy that is considered to be between 6 and 12 weeks is actually not far away. Ultrasound and further hCG examination can be used to correctly calculate the gestational age. This is usually the first step in detecting low hCG levels.
abortion
Abortion refers to the loss of pregnancy before 20 weeks of pregnancy. Sometimes a low level of hCG may indicate that you have miscarried or will miscarry. If the placenta fails to form during pregnancy, the initial level may be normal, but it fails to increase. The common symptoms of abortion are:
colporrhagia
Abdominal spasm
Through tissue or clothing
Termination of pregnancy symptoms
White/pink mucus secretion
Withered egg
When the egg is fertilized and attached to the uterine wall, but does not continue to develop. When the gestational sac develops, hCG hormone can be released, but the level of hCG hormone will not increase because the egg does not develop.
This happens in the early stages of pregnancy. Most women don't know what happened. Usually you will experience your normal menstrual symptoms and assume that this is your normal period. But if you want to get pregnant, you can do an early pregnancy test and find the existence of hCG.
ectopic gestation
Ectopic pregnancy is that the fertilized egg stays in the fallopian tube and continues to develop. This is a dangerous and life-threatening disease, because it may lead to tubal rupture and excessive bleeding. Low hCG level is helpful to suggest ectopic pregnancy. At first, the symptoms of ectopic pregnancy may be similar to normal pregnancy, but with the progress of ectopic pregnancy, you may encounter the following situations:
Abdominal or pelvic pain, aggravated by tension or exercise (it may initially occur strongly on one side and then spread)
colporrhagia
Shoulder pain caused by internal bleeding (bleeding aggravates diaphragm and manifests as shoulder tip pain)
Painful sexual intercourse
Pain during pelvic examination
Dizziness or fainting due to internal bleeding.
Shock symptoms
How to treat it?
Unfortunately, there is no way to treat low levels of hCG, although just low levels are not always worrying.
If your low hCG level is caused by miscarriage, you may need treatment if pregnant tissue remains in your uterus. If there is no tissue residue, then you don't need any treatment at all. If so, there are three treatment options:
We can wait for the organization to pass naturally.
You can take drugs to help you through the tissue.
You can remove it by surgery.
Your doctor will discuss with you what is the best treatment.
The treatment of ectopic pregnancy is similar. Taking this medicine is to prevent the pregnancy from developing further. If surgery is needed, the doctor will not only get pregnant, but also remove the affected fallopian tubes.
What are the prospects?
There is only a low level of human chorionic gonadotropin, so there is no need to worry. There are many factors that affect this level, and the normal range of female individuals varies greatly. If you have concerns, your doctor will help you monitor your hCG level. Even if they keep a low profile, there is nothing you can do. It is also important to remember that low hCG is not caused by anything you do.
If your hCG level is low because of pregnancy loss, it doesn't necessarily mean that you can't get pregnant and serve in the future. If you lose your fallopian tube because of ectopic pregnancy, as long as your other fallopian tube works normally, your fertility will not change significantly. Even if not, reproductive techniques such as in vitro fertilization can help a successful pregnancy.
This blood HCG will double in 2~3 days. If your interval increases by one third a day, the fertilized egg should be fine. But whether the development is slow or not depends on the progesterone value. If your last period is about 30 days, progesterone 20 is still slightly below the standard. Personally, I suggest taking 1 week of anti-abortion drugs.
Hello, I'm glad to answer your question.
The hcg value is not important, but the data is doubled. For example, today's blood sampling data is 2, tomorrow is 4 and the day after tomorrow is 8. Sometimes it's normal to double every other day. If the data doubles, it means that the child is well developed and normal.
Everyone's fertilization time, ovulation period and constitution are different. There is no single data to prove that the child is developing normally. If you are not at ease, Yin Chao can generally see abdominal B-ultrasound at hcp6000 and 10000. If there is any abnormality, the doctor will explain.
It's important to have children. Pay attention to a balanced diet. Children can also feel your mood and grow up healthily. Let's go
