Beta hCG, also called hCG blood test, is a test that detects the levels of human chorionic gonadotropin hormone (hCG) in the blood. The cells in the placenta produce this hormone during pregnancy. This hormone can be detected in blood after 11 days of conception, and the levels double every 48 to 72 hours. hCG levels reach their peak between 8 and 11 weeks of pregnancy.
Negative Pregnancy Test
A negative pregnancy test usually means you’re not pregnant, but low hCG levels can hide an early pregnancy. Don’t ignore symptoms; retest if needed.
Understanding Chemical Pregnancy
Chemical pregnancy is normally an early miscarriage that usually occurs after the implantation process, and normally, before a woman realizes that she was pregnant.
