Normal hcg blood value table during pregnancy

The first time I heard the word hcg, I felt it was very high-end. Some people even claim that the hcg value in the blood can be used to determine whether the pregnant woman is carrying a boy or a girl. So what exactly is hcg? Is it really that amazing? There is no doubt that many friends want to know the answer just like me. Don’t worry, let’s look down together.

What is hcg

HCG stands for human chorionic gonadotropin, which is composed of α and β dimers of glycoprotein. After a woman becomes pregnant, the hCG originally present in her blood and urine will fluctuate with the increase in the number of weeks of pregnancy. Therefore, whether a woman is pregnant can be measured based on the changes in hCG.

Pregnancy blood hcg standard value report

The standard value of blood hcg is <10μg/L, and the standard value of β-hCG is <3.1μg/L. β-hcg is a part of hcg. Generally, the β-hcg radioimmunoassay value of a normal woman is lower than 3.1. If it exceeds 5, the possibility of pregnancy can be considered, and if it exceeds 10, pregnancy can be basically confirmed.

The absolute values ​​of hCG in blood cells change at different stages of pregnancy and among pregnant women. There is no comparability between them and they can only be compared with each other. In the first three months of pregnancy, hCG levels approximately double every 2.2±0.5 days. The following editor will introduce the normal range of hcg (IU/L) values ​​in pregnancy weeks:

0.2 weeks——15-50

1 to 2 weeks——50-500

2 to 3 weeks——100-5000

3 to 4 weeks——500-10,000

4 to 5 weeks——1,000-50,000

5 to 6 weeks - 10,000-100,000

6 to 8 weeks——15,000-200,000

February to March: 10,000-100,000

Everyone should understand by now that hCG in the blood is an index used by obstetricians to test the early fetal development of pregnant women. After 12 weeks of pregnancy, this value will continue to decrease. The normal value table provided by the editor above is only a reference standard, and the actual value should be based on the local doctor's prenatal examination. After all, every pregnant woman is quite different and cannot be generalized.
