How often should hcg be checked in early pregnancy?

Pregnant mothers all know that HCG is an important way to diagnose ectopic pregnancy in the early stage, and blood HCG is also the most accurate and earliest test method to test whether a woman is pregnant. Generally speaking, blood HCG test can detect whether the woman is pregnant within 8-10 days after intercourse. So how often should HCG be tested in the early stages of pregnancy?

Check HCG in the early stages of pregnancy and then follow up again after 48 hours. If it doubles well, there is no need to follow up again. You can do an abdominal ultrasound on the 40th day of pregnancy. If you see a gestational sac in the uterine cavity, it means everything is normal. By the 50th day of pregnancy, if you see fetal heartbeat and fetal heartbeat, there is no need to worry, as there is generally no problem. However, if the HCG level in the blood is not high in the early stages of pregnancy, it may be that the test tube embryo has stopped growing or it may be caused by an ectopic pregnancy. Therefore, it is necessary to continue to follow up and start treatment as soon as possible after diagnosis, because if it is an ectopic pregnancy, conservative treatment can be used in the early stages, in other words, surgery can be avoided.

Women can go to the hospital for a blood HCG test 8-10 days after having sex. At this time, the HCG value of the body in the early stages of pregnancy is relatively high, which can accurately detect whether a woman is pregnant. On the day of the blood test, do not wear clothes with sleeves that are too small or too tight to avoid the sleeves not being able to be rolled up during the blood test or the sleeves being too tight after the blood test, which may cause arm vascular abscesses.

If the expectant mother wants to know the growth and development of the baby in her belly, she can go for a check-up every other day, but she must go to a reliable hospital for examination. Don't go to a small clinic for examination just for the sake of saving money. Sometimes small clinics may cause infection in blood tests due to incomplete disinfection or environmental problems. Therefore, for the sake of your own body and the baby in your belly, don't be greedy for such cheapness.
