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.

Is everything okay if your hcg levels were low but two days later another blood test showed they had tripled?

starting out low isn't a problem, you may just have had implantation later, or even ovulated later than you thought, as long as the levels are going up. Here is information on HCG levels http://www.bobrow.net/kimberly/birth/hcglevels.html ~pawsalmighty


Could your HCG level go up because of what you eat or something else if you are not pregnant?

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.
