What is hCG?

FertilityMeds.com/Frequently Asked Questions
hCG is a polypeptide hormone produced by the human trophoblast in the developing embryo. It is composed of alpha and beta subunits. The alpha subunit is essentially identical to the alpha subunits of human pituitary gonadotropins: luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH). The beta subunits of these hormones differ in their amino acid sequences. As far as its action is concerned, hCG is virtually identical to the pituitary hormone LH.

What is beta hCG?

Ectopic Pregnancy Trust ~ Medical FAQ
The hormone beta hCG is produced by the placenta. In normal pregnancy the levels double every two days. When the level in urine is high enough, the home pregnancy test becomes positive. In ectopic pregnancy, the levels are usually lower and rise more slowly (and your pregnancy may not test positive). A combination of ultrasound findings and blood levels of hCG can make a more accurate and earlier diagnosis allowing more treatment options.

An rounded-off average would be about 25 mIU at 10 dpo, 50 at 12 dpo, 100 at 14 dpo. Please consult for charts on hCG levels in early pregnancy. You may be pregnant and just didn't have a high enough level of hCG to trigger the test within the usual time frame; however, it also could be the way that test reacts over time, so you really need to test again either way in order to be sure of the result. Some brands indicate that an "evaporation line" will appear if the test is left to sit.

What is hCG and how is it measured?

Charing Cross Hospital Trophoblast Disease Service
In all cases of molar pregnancy and the other forms of trophoblast disease the hCG level is important for making the diagnosis and for monitoring treatment. The abbreviation hCG is short for human Chorionic Gonadotrophin, the pregnancy test hormone that is detected in home pregnancy tests. In pregnancy (normal and molar) when the egg is fertilised it starts to make hCG and then as the pregnancy develops the trophoblast/placental cells take over making hCG.

What do I do with the HCG injections?

FAQ - Fertility - DukeHealth.org
The human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) can be used to trigger ovulation at the appropriate time. When the monitoring team feels your follicles are at the appropriate size to trigger ovulation you will be instructed when to take HCG. This is often referred to as "released". The type of cycle and day of the procedure (oocyte retrieval or insemination) will determine what time the HCG injection will be given. The additional HCG will be used as supplemental HCG for luteal support.
