Question 1

is free beta hcg different from hcg they measure in early pregnancy? if hcg was elevated at 5w5d, does this mean my hcg will be high at quad screen?

Accepted Answer

HCG: The HCG is the same test. However, the hcg at the beginning of pregnancy is very variable. When you have the test doen in the second trimester, it is looking for markers for Down's Syndrome and risk rates. So, it does not necessarily mean your quad screen will be elevated again.

Question 2

can i get pregnant if my hcg levels are still elevated (positive hpt) after a d and c miscarriage?

Accepted Answer

Likely wait,,,: Likely, the best chance would be to wait until you cycle again to try to get pregnant as the ovary has to get back to releasing eggs for pregnancy to occur.  The HCG levels would likely come down by that time also.  Good luck.

Question 3

my hcg level was negative 10 day ago and today it is 600, is it possible to e that high if i just got pregnant this week?

Accepted Answer

BHCG: BHCG levels increase by 66% every 48 hours so it does not take long for the BHCG to get to 600.

Question 4

hcg 0, could i still be pregnant?

Accepted Answer

You are not pregnant: Blood and urine pregnancy tests are very reliable. If either reads 'negative' it is highly unlikely that you are pregnant.

Question 5

why is hcg undectable if pregnant?

Accepted Answer

HCG : Should be detectable  very early in pregnancy. If the HCG test is poor quality, then maybe it isnt detecting the hcg.

Question 6

what result of hcg means pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

HCG positive: Hcg positive means pregnant.

Question 7

my beta hcg 159..im pregnant or not.?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Your pregnancy test is positive. Anything about 5 or 10, depending on the lab, is positive.

Question 8

can women have 0 hcg throughout pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

No: No. Hcg is correlated to pregnancy.

Question 9

hcg less than 1 but can you still pregnant?

Accepted Answer

Tests are accurate: All women who are pregnant will have HCG detectable in their blood and urine. If tested too early (approximately less than 2 weeks after conception), a pregnancy test may sometimes show a false negative result. If worried about pregnancy, one can retest a few days to a week or two later, when a rising HCG level will become detectable on tests.

Question 10

is beta hcg 0.172 miu/mi positive pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

No: Lab tests that check one's urine or blood, check only those fluids. Tests count how much bHCG is in either the urine or the blood. So, before implantation of a baby embryo, that embryo is floating around, not attached to the future mother. Because the embryo is not attached to the woman (it's too early in the life cycle), there isn't a direct way for bHCG to get into the woman's blood or urine yet
