A member asked:
Can pcos cause low levels of hcg? having regular cycles for years once i started taking metformin. tracking ovulation with opk's.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Confused: HCG is a hormone that is only present during pregnancy. Levels will normally be very low in non pregnant woman regardless of whether they have PCOS or not. OPK kits look at LH levels, not HCG.
