HCG doubling rule in early pregnancy

In the early stages of pregnancy, HCG is very important for pregnant women, because if hcg is abnormal, there will be certain problems in the development of the baby. In the early stages of pregnancy, when the embryo develops to a certain stage, hcg will double in size. If it does not double, there is a high possibility of fetal growth retardation. So, what is the rule for the doubling of hcg in early pregnancy? This will be introduced below!

After the sperm and egg combine, the fertilized egg will extend many small tentacles to grasp the inner wall of the uterus in order to settle firmly in the uterus. These small tentacles are human villi, and hCG is a hormone secreted by human villi. The full name is human chorionic gonadotropin. This shows the great connection between these small tentacles and hCG. HCG can reflect whether these small tentacles are growing normally, which also shows whether the baby is developing normally. As long as hCG can double normally, it means that the baby is healthy. This is why everyone likes to use the doubling of hcg to measure the baby's development.

What hormone does human chorionic gonadotropin promote? In fact, it is the progesterone we will talk about later, so hCG has the function of promoting the secretion of progesterone. Often, if the hcg level is not good, the progesterone level will not be high, because there is not enough hcg to promote the secretion of progesterone, and the progesterone level will naturally not be high (this does not apply to the case of taking injections or taking medicine to supplement progesterone). The hcg level cannot be compared with others, you can only compare it with yourself. Don't believe what others say that your hcg is too low! There is no such thing as hcg being too low. The only scientific statement is that doubling hcg is not good!

Because everyone's physique is different and the fertilized egg implants at different times, everyone's hcg level is different. Some people only have a few dozen hcg at 30 days of pregnancy, while others may have hundreds. We should not worry because other people's hcg is higher than ours because there is no comparability! What we should really do is compare ourselves with ourselves - that is, to see the legendary "doubling"! Doubling means that, for example, if the hcg level in a blood test on the 1st is 100, then if you go for another blood test on the next day, that is, on the 3rd, and the hcg level reaches 200, it means that it has doubled every other day, indicating that the embryo is good. So doubling is only theoretical, and the specific speed is different for each person. The doubling time of hcg is not fixed. It is different for each person. The generally said doubling every other day is just an estimate. Some people will be faster, and some people will be slower.
