Is hcg illegal?

hCG, which stands for 'human chorionic gonadotropin', is FDA-approved in fertility treatments and certain hormonal imbalances. It is popularly used in the hCG Diet Protocol for weight loss.

It is legal in most states only by prescription. Using hCG for weight loss is considered an 'off-label use', which is perfectly legal and done all the time in the medical industry.

It is not regulated at the federal level, but instead each state has its own laws about dispensing it and how it is classified. Some states do not regulate it at all, others consider it a Level III Controlled Substance.

Laws vary from state to state, but it would be illegal to buy it from outside of the US without a prescription in any case. Only a doctor can prescribe it in states that require a prescription.

Hcg levels go from 16000 to 13000 in 1 week?

That is probably 4th week. Average HCG 14 days after conception is around 100.

Could I be pregnant if I'm two weeks late for my period bloated indigestion headaches period-like cramps very sore breasts weird cravings hpt neg 11 days after missed period?

EXCESSIVE tiredness and breast tenderness are typically the first signs of pregnancy. Not until your atleast 2 months pregnant do you get nauseous, frequent urination and headaches, and its not until late in pregnancy you get cravings. So you may just be coming down with a cold. I would suggest taking a pregnancy test to be sure.

Is 4500 HCG normal at 4 weeks?

My HCG is 4,560 at four weeks one day. The doctor said it was normal, higher better than lower. There is such a broad range of what it could be there is no right or wrong answer. They are more concerned of it doubling every two days, no matter what it was. If it doesn't rise enough then it may not be normal.

How do you know if your having vaginal bleeding or a period?

If you are bleeding while you are pregnant you may vomit. Also it may be a light pink color or spotty if pregnant.

Can hcg be produced and detected before implantation?

AnswerI don't usually answer this stuff but I felt I had to do so. According to the ER doctor I saw when I had my miscarriage in April, hCG is produced shortly after implantation. Enough is not produced, however, during the travel from fallopian tubes to uterus to detect on any HPT. After implantation occurs is when the hCG begins to double every 48-72 hours. Once it begins to increase exponentially after implantation is when there is enough metabolized into the urine for a home pregnancy test to be accurate. The rate at which a woman's body metabolizes the hCG from the blood stream to the urine is different for each individual and for every pregnancy within the individual. No two pregnancies are alike, even within the same woman. If you have a positive test, implantation has occured or you have lingering hCG from a miscarriage. If implantation does not occur in the two weeks between ovulation and your period the corpus luteum dies off, stops producing progesterone (responsible for all symptoms in early pregnancy which is why you cannot tell the difference between PMS and early pregnancy) and you get your period. During the first few weeks after implantation you will not be able to see a pregnancy at all on an ultrasound. That is why you're first prenatal appointment is at or after 6-8 weeks. Also, much can go wrong in early pregnancy and many pregnancies do end in miscarriage before a woman has her first appointment. Oftentimes women have no clue they even conceived because some end so early. If you get a positive HPT call your doctor immediately and follow it up with a quantitative (beta) hCG blood test. These are more accurate in that they measure how much hCG you have instead of simply answering "yes" or "no" like a qualitative serum blood test does or an HPT. Note: A qualitative blood test simply involves the blood serum being separated then dropped onto a urine pregnancy test with the same mIU as most tests: 25. This is why you can be pregnant and get a false negative blood test: because they didn't measure how much, just yes or no.

How far along are you if your hcg levels are 327?

From conception, it would be 2-3 weeks... from LMP, it would be 4-6 weeks

Why would the Hcg level be 20671 but scan showed empty sac?

At about 5-6 weeks sometimes you may only see the sac. Give it another 2 weeks and you should hear the heartbeat.

Does synthroid have HCG in it?

can levothyroxine produce hcg hormone or give a false positive pregnancy result

Is pimples back pain cervical mucus are early signs of pregnancy?

Vaginal pain is usually a sign of a UTI or yeast infection or even a cyst. But it is possible it could be a sign of pregnancy but Im unsure about this one.

What does early pregnancy low hcg levels and slowly droppng mean?

Answer

DOCTOR TOLD ME TODAY YOU HGC NEVER GOES DOWN IN A HEALTHY PREGNANCY.

Answer

It means you could be losing your baby.

My HCG levels started going down at around what I thought was my 18th week of pregnancy. The dr sent me home scared saying I may be losing my baby. I went back 2 days later for another HCG test and again, drastic drop. An OB/GYN came in and reassured me that HCG levels start dropping around 20 weeks. So I may actually be further along than estimated. Everything looked normal. It is not good to stress about anything while pregnant, because it's just going to cause more problems.

What is a 5300 hcg level?

3500 could be good or not it depends on how far along you are the further along you are the higher your number should be call your doctor and ask them that is what they get paid for don't be shy it is your body and your baby.

Is an hcg level of 872 normal for a 6 weeks 5 day pregnancy?

A single hCG level does not give any information about the normalcy of a pregnancy. There are a number of reasons for a lower-than-expected hCG level. Your date of concepion may be wrong, adn you may hae conceived only very recently. Or the pregnancy may not be developing normally. Follow-up with ultrasound and a repeat hCG level in two days will clarify the picture and determine what type of additional testing is needed over the next couple of weeks. If that second hCG shows a normal doubling, then your pregnancy is just much earlier than you thought. If it has not doubled, more future blood tests will be needed. If the HCG level drops, the pregnancy may be coming to a natural end. In that case, your health care provider will likely give you some options to "wait and see" or to seek treatment earlier. As long as you are well, without fever, chills, pain, you can wait and see what happens with your health care provider's followup.

Can a woman be pregnant and have a negative hcg test?

Yes you can. I'm 18 and 3 months pregnant. I was starting off with my regular periods but, out of the blue my periods just stopped for 6 months I took a home pregnancy test(hpt) it came out negative. So I went to the doctor to get a blood test done and found out I was 3 MONTHS PREGO I asked my doctor why did I have a negative result and it was because my hcg levels were not high enough for the hpt to detect the pregnancy. So the answer to your question is yes you can be pregnant

Can i still be pregnant even tho i have had 3 negative pregnancy tests but on day 2 late on my period?

Answer

I'm in the same boat. I had 3 positive and 3 negative and my period came 1 day early and lasted 2 days and its usually 4-5 days. So I don't know. I ask the same thing.

the possibility is very good the bleeding u lady's had was most likely not your period it is implantation i would wait a couple of days and take another test good luck to the both of u.

Is taking a pregnancy test a week after you missed your period still accurate?

There are early pregnancy tests that can detect as early as 6 DPO (days past ovulation), but most store bought tests can only detect as early as 5 days before your expected period.

A pregnancy can not be ruled out until after the period is missed. A negative pregnancy test before then, is not a guarantee that you aren't pregnant.
If you are only 7 DPO, then the best bet would be to wait at least another day or 2, then use FMU (first morning urine) and test with a sensitive test, such as First Response Early Result, or the Clear Blue Digital tests.
Having symptoms is a very good sign.

What does it mean if i have a .5 hcg hormone level?

In what context were you given this value? I ask because without some more information, it's difficult to tell exactly what you're asking about.

My best guess would be that you're referring to the levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in either your blood or your urine. hCG is a protein produced by the placenta during pregnancy. Its presence at a certain level in the blood or urine can be an indicator of pregnancy. This is typically how pregnancy tests work:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pregnancy_test

Even if I'm correctly guessing that you're talking about hCG, ".5 hcg" doesn't say anything about how much is in your blood because there are no units given. So I can't tell if that 0.5 refers to 0.5 ml/dL, 0.5 mIU/L, or something entirely different. If you know the units, you might want to post them here for a better answer. Better yet, ask your doctor exactly what your blood/urine results mean.
