HcG Levels
HcG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin) is a hormone that is produced by the embryo when its starts to implant itself into the uterine lining (implantation) and begins to grow. This occurs approximately 6-10 days after conception. As it grows, the amount of HcG increases and doubles about every three days. The purpose of HcG is to keep the estrogen and progesterone levels at their appropriate levels until the placenta has developed enough to take this function over. HcG levels will reach as high as almost 300,000 mIU/ml (level) and will peak out at 10 - 12 weeks.
Average Range of HcG Levels
Pregnant women will vary in levels of HcG within their body at different times. But HcG levels once beginning to build should not fall. A dramatic decline in HcG levels indicates that a miscarriage is taking place. The chart below gives an average range of mIU/ml of HcG in pregnant women from days 10 - 22 past ovulation (DPO). Please note that in multi births HcG levels are much higher.
| 10 DPO: | 10 - 50 mIU/ml HcG |
| 13 DPO: | 20 - 100 mIU/ml HcG |
| 16 DPO: | 40 - 200 mIU/ml HcG |
| 19 DPO: | 80 - 400 mIU/ml HcG |
| 22 DPO: | 160 - 800 mIU/ml HcG |
