Question 1

what is hcg?

Accepted Answer

Pregnancy Hormone: Hcg or human chorionic gonadotropin, also commonly known as the pregnancy hormone. It is a hormone that is produced by the placenta of a pregnant woman. It is detectable in the blood and urine within days of fertilization.

Question 2

is 73 a good beta hcg?

Accepted Answer

Hormone: It is difficult to say if a level of HCG is good, based on one level.  Hcg levels tend to increase exponentially in the first trimester of pregnancy.  A HCG of 73 could be a normal very early pregnancy at 4+ weeks. Many times we will follow HCG levels over time.

Question 3

what is hcg 1 iu/l mean?

Accepted Answer

Hcg 1 iu/l: This pregnancy test is negative. A level over 25 indicates pregnancy. Values between 5 and 25 are indeterminate but can be seen in early pregnancy but requires retesting. An obstetrician can advise you best with this indeterminate range of results.

Question 4

what dose hcg negative mean?

Accepted Answer

No placenta: A negative HCG means that the cells that produce this hormone are not present nor are they making this hormone.  Hcg is commonly referred to as a pregnancy test but the test can be positive without fetal tissue.

Question 5

do the hcg drop work and how?

Accepted Answer

No: The HCG diet has a person eating 500 calories a day for more than a month. That's just one big slice of pizza a day. A 4-month old baby eats 500 calories a day. Anybody on 500 calories a day is on a starvation diet and will lose weight. It doesn't sound safe. Extremely low calorie diets don't work because the weight comes back when one starts eating again. Long-term lifestyle changes are needed.

Question 6

hcg, what physical test is it?

Accepted Answer

HCG levels: Are used in pregnancy testing. If this is not what you were asking then please clarify and re-ask question.

Question 7

do they make an oral hcg drug?

Accepted Answer

No: Solely an intramuscular injection because the molecule will no longer work after being broken down by stomach acids and metabolized by the liver.
