Question 1

is hcg included in a regular blood or urine test? i dont know if my results had it or not and i dont want my mom to see...

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy test: Testing for pregnancy is not routinely performed without suggestive symptoms of concerns.  Preoperative testing may include pregnancy screens.  Patients beyond the age of 18 are considered adults and medical information is generally protected from communication to to others without explicit consent from you.

Question 2

why does hcg never enter a womens urine in some women?

Accepted Answer

Hcg in urine: Hcg, human chorionic gonadotropin, is found in blood of men and women. It is very elevated in pregnancy and some forms of cancer. Urine pregnancy tests are designed to detect the presence of HCG in the urine of pregnant women. It is found in all pregnant women. However, it has to reach a threshold to be detectable and if urine is checked too early in pregnancy, the test may be negative.

Question 3

how high would hcg in the urine be at 8 weeks? would i still get a reliable result with diluted urine?

Accepted Answer

Likely: Your profile says you are a male!
It is better to use first morning urine for pregnancy test. If you are pregnant, at 8 weeks the HCG is usually high enough to give a positive result with random urine.

Question 4

how long is hcg detectable in urine?

Accepted Answer

At pregnancy end?: If the pregnancy ends before 12 weeks then hcg is no longer detectable in about one week.

Question 5

is it possible to not have hcg in urine?

Accepted Answer

If you're pregnant: "no" it's not possible. Good wishes.

Question 6

does hcg stay in your urine longer than your blood?

Accepted Answer

Depends: The HCG is present in the urine any time it is present in the blood.  The urine pregnancy tests require a certain (low) level to be detected - it would be detectable in the blood before it would be detectable in the urine, and after it was no longer detectable in the urine.

Question 7

what is the definition or description of: urine hcg?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy test: Beta-hcg is the hormone that rises exponentially in a woman's bloodstream when she is pregnant.
Pregnancy can be diagnosed by either detecting HCG in the blood or in the urine.
A positive HCG test in either place means the woman is pregnant in most cases.

Question 8

how much time does it take for hcg to show in urine?

Accepted Answer

A week: It takes around a week after conception that HCG is detectable in urine. At the time of the anticipated menstrual period, it would be unusual, if it is not detected.

Question 9

hello, how accurate are blood hcg tests? are they better than urine?

Accepted Answer

: Blood tests are more accurate and more reliable.
Conception occurs within day or so of the sex. It takes about 3 weeks for the embryo to make enough HCG for a positive pregnancy test. Blood test may be done a day after a missed period. Home pregnancy tests should be done 4-5 days after the missed period. If the result is negative repeat the test in 4-5 days. Use first morning urine.

Question 10

when will there be enough hcg that you don't need to use first morning urine?

Accepted Answer

Good question: Early morning urine has the highest level of HCG since it is when the urine is the most concentrated. This does not become an issue once the pregnancy is firmly established. Urine pregnancy tests are usually positive once the beta HCG reaches a level of 50.
