What is the beta hCG hormone?

Beta human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone that can be used to detect pregnancy. You can call it beta hCG hormone for short!

The purpose of this hormone is to maintain the corpus luteum, which promotes the secretion of progesterone. When you become pregnant, you begin to secrete plasma beta HCG after about day 10. It peaks between weeks 7 and 12, and then gradually decreases.

Even though pregnancy tests are generally reliable, you can be sure that you are expecting by taking a beta HCG blood test in a laboratory.

My last pregnancy was a miscarriage. I’m 5 weeks and 2 days today 3 days ago my beta hcg was 2,400 and today they were 7,200. Possibly multiples? Just curious if anybody else’s almost tripled. I also had implantation bleeding with pregnancy which I have never had before.

Levels can’t tell you if they are multiples. Not This early at least. My levels were 24,00 at 7 weeks and only one baby lol. It just means your body has a higher level of HCG and they are doubling. Congrats !

I am 5 weeks & a day. My beta hcg levels were 266 on Sunday and 48 hours later are 1000. Anyone else have their number more than triple? My family has joked with me about possibly having twins b/c my fiance & I's dad's both are a set of twins, one an identical & one a feternal. We also have some family members that are autistic. But now I'm curious... #5weeks #beta

My HCG levels were normal with my son, and he is Autistic. My doctor said high or low levels are not predictors.
