Beta HCG "the pregnancy hormone" test measures the specific level of HCG in the blood. HCG is a hormone produced in the body during pregnancy.
HCG appears in the blood and urine of pregnant women as early as 10 days after conception. Quantitative HCG measurement helps determine the exact age of the fetus. It can also diagnose abnormal pregnancies, such as ectopic pregnancies, molar pregnancies, and possible miscarriages. It is also used as part of a screening test for Down syndrome.
HCG level rises rapidly during the first trimester of pregnancy and then slightly declines*.
*To interpret test results use the reference range in the laboratory report.
