What to do if hcg is low one month into pregnancy

HCG refers to human chorionic villus growth hormone, which is a type of glycoprotein hormone produced by embryonic germs. Generally, hcg can be detected in the blood or urine of pregnant women one week after the menstrual period ends and the pregnancy is confirmed. So what should I do if my hcg level is low one month into my pregnancy?

If the hcg value is relatively low one month into the pregnancy, it is recommended that the pregnant woman go for a follow-up visit one week later. Because the hcg value may be slightly lower when the test is first performed, but after the follow-up visit, the hcg value may increase. Because the hcg value is slightly lower one month into the pregnancy, the reason may be late ovulation or late implantation of the test tube embryo. Therefore, it is safer to go for a follow-up visit later.

If the hcg level is still low after the hcg level is checked and followed up, the doctor may recommend that the pregnant woman take drugs to increase estrogen. After taking these drugs for a period of time, if the hcg level is still slightly low, she should go to the hospital for an ultrasound to check whether there is any problem with the gestational sac. If the gestational sac cannot be seen by the ultrasound, the hcg value will also be low. If there is a problem with the gestational sac, the hcg value will also double.

In addition, it should be noted that low hCG values ​​are not closely related to nutrition. If a pregnant woman has a low hCG value, it is recommended to check and treat it in time to avoid abdominal pain and bleeding, which may have a negative impact on the baby and the pregnant woman.

What is the hcg value for pregnancy

The following are the normal standard values ​​of hCG: the standard value of blood HCG is <10μg/L, the standard value of β-HCG is <3.1μg/L. At the same time, the values ​​of blood cell hCG vary greatly at different stages of pregnancy and among different pregnant women. Therefore, you cannot usually compare two people. You can only compare the conditions at different stages by yourself. This must be remembered, and you must not make mistakes due to comparing with others.
