"During menstruation the HCG is already being made by the body" No, it's not. HCG is produced by the tropoblasts within several days after implantation of the fertilized egg.
HCG stands for "Human Chorionic Gonadotropin", the pregnancy hormone. HCG is being produced by the placenta and enters the blood stream as soon as implantation happens, about one week after fertilization and ovulation, when the embryo implants and the placenta attaches to the uterine lining.
HCG IS not related to dietary intake. Certain fertility drugs could cause hcg levels to rise. HCG will not ever be detected if you are not pregnant. HCG is a hormone produced by pregnancy and has nothing to do with anything you eat. HCG can be produced if you have some cancers or ovarian cysts.
Implantation as this is when the foetal cells implant and begin producing hcg.
Implantation typically occurs 6-10 days after ovulation. Although you are technically "pregnant" when the sperm fertilizes the egg, the pregnancy hormone HCG won't be produced until the egg implants into the uterine lining.
trophoblast
with an hpt 5 days before your missed period.... or get a hcg blood test by your doctor
No, the hCG levels are unlikely to be high enough to detect one day after implantation. What makes you think you know when implantation happened?
Fertilization is when the pregnancy hormone hCG has begun production and this hormone is what is searched for by pregnancy tests (urine and blood). However, this amount can be very little and may be difficult for a urine test to pick up. You can get the best accuracy a few days after your missed period, but they (urine tests) can detect up to 5 days before the first day of your last menstrual period. There is hCG during implantation, so it does have the potential to be detected and accurate, particularly for blood tests which are much more sensitive than urine tests.
hCG is Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin.It is produced in pregnancy.
A beta hcg is a blood test given in early pregnancy to measure the quantity or amount of hcg, the pregnancy hormone. This test can be done as early as a week after ovulation, even before a positive hpt. The result or number of hcg detected will vary from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy.
Yes. Just a few days after conception. Yes is definitely does! I tested positive 2 times on a HPT... and when I went for my first ultrasound, my uterus was empty!!! The Dr. informed me that my egg was on it's way down the fallopian tube to the final destination which is IMPLANTATION in the uterus. I later read on several of web pages that hCG is only produced and detected after implantation. I started stressing and gave my Dr. a nice 11:30pm late night call and he assured me that I AM pregnant, my soon to be baby is not lost in translation, and that I needed to turn off the computer and relax!! The majority of articles and answers written on the web are NOT written by qualified doctors. So ease your mind and call your doctor...or A doctor! Better to get an answer from him rather than a lady whos sister's cousin was once married to a nurse. God Bless!
