How high is the hcg level?

Due to the complex environment today, many pregnant women will experience fetal arrest in the early stages of pregnancy, which may cause great harm to the pregnant woman's body and mind. Therefore, everything from pregnancy preparation to delivery should be carried out step by step to ensure the normal development of the fetus. In the early stages of pregnancy, doctors will pay more attention to hcg. If the hcg is very low, the doctor will ask for pregnancy preservation. So, how high does the hcg have to be to prevent the fetus from stopping? Please see the detailed introduction for details.

β-HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a glycoprotein secreted by trophoblast cells of the placenta. Early diagnosis of ectopic pregnancy is mainly based on the detection of blood HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). The normal human β-HCG human chorionic gonadotropin content is about 0-3mIU/ml. The blood β-HCG ratio can be used as an indicator for judging intrauterine pregnancy, ectopic pregnancy and pregnancy failure. Patients with a β-HCG ratio of <0.81 are more likely to have a failed pregnancy, and patients with a ratio of more than 1.68 are more likely to have an intrauterine pregnancy. HCG is a gonadotropin secreted by the placenta. Therefore, when a woman is not pregnant, the hCG content is very low. Only when the baby is born will the placenta be stimulated to secrete a large amount of this hormone. HCG can promote the development of the embryo in all aspects. If the hCG value of a woman is relatively low during pregnancy, there is a certain possibility of fetal arrest.

When the hcg value reaches 50, women are less likely to experience miscarriage. The hcg value will increase significantly when a woman is pregnant, generally reaching above 50. If the result of a woman's hcg hormone test is lower than 50, the possibility of miscarriage will increase. Therefore, the hcg test must be taken seriously by pregnant women and doctors so that problems can be resolved as soon as possible. In the initial stage of a woman's pregnancy, if the fertilized egg has developmental abnormalities and automatically stops developing, this is called embryonic arrest. Embryonic arrest is the initial stage of spontaneous abortion. After embryonic arrest, it is very likely to be expelled from the body by the mother for self-protection, but it is also possible that the embryo fails. In this case, surgery is required to remove it. In any case, embryonic arrest is a very unfortunate thing.

After the fertilized egg of a mature woman moves to the uterine cavity and implants, an embryo is formed. During the process of development into a fetus, the placental syncytiotrophoblast cells produce a large amount of human chorionic gonadotropin, which can be excreted into the urine through the pregnant woman's blood circulation. During the 1st to 2.5th week of pregnancy, the HCG level in serum and urine will increase rapidly, reaching a peak in the 8th week of pregnancy, and then dropping to a moderate level in the 4th month of pregnancy, and remaining until the end of pregnancy.
