Post What is HCG?
Hello friends


Human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) is a hormone that is normally produced first by the cells that make up the placenta, then later by the placenta during pregnancy.Pregnant women, especially those who have experienced fertility issues, place a lot of importance on HCG levels. Due to vast ranges of what can be normal, doctors advise women to not take them too seriously. Some women have low HCG levels and go on to have a healthy, normal baby. After a miscarriage, HCG levels fall back to the pre-pregnancy range, which is less than 5.0 mIU/ml, about four to six weeks later. In some fertility treatment regimens, women may receive HCG injections to encourage ovulation or to extend the luteal phase of the cycle.
