What does mean if the BETA-HCG*,Serum result is...

Pregnancy HCG

• Human chorionic hormone is produced during pregnancy.
• They are made from cells formed in the placenta, which feed eggs after they have been fertilized and become attached to the uterine wall.
• Levels can be detected first by blood test after 11 days of pregnancy and after about 12-14 days after pregnancy through urine test.
• Typically, HCG levels are doubled every 72 hours. The peak level will reach the first 8-11 weeks of pregnancy and then it will go down and remain at a specific level of pregnancy.
• Normal pregnancy with low levels of HCG may also lead to a completely healthy baby. The level of HCG 4900 almost means you are in the fifth week of pregnancy.
• Ultrasound results after 5-6 weeks gestation are much more accurate than using HCG numbers. Therefore, sonar imaging and fetal pulses should be confirmed.
• HCG levels should not be used to calculate pregnancy weeks because these numbers can vary very widely.
