Patient's Query

Hi doctor,

I have done IVF (in vitro fertilization). We transfer 3 embryos. I have a donor of 20 years of age. I did my 1st beta HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) 10 days back and it came back 445. My 2nd one was four days back and it came back to 4,810 and just did another one two days before and it came back to 11,114.

Is something wrong? My HCG rate is elevated.

Help please me doctor.

Thank you.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern.

The values of HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) are normal; there is nothing to worry about. HCG values double every day till the 11-14 week. If it has not been increasing like this then that could have been the reason to worry about.

Hope you are taking folic acid tablets regularly, and have done all the necessary investigation. Keep yourself hydrated, take at least 3 liters of water daily. Have more green leafy vegetables and fruits in your diet. Hope this information helps you.

Feel free to ask further queries.

Thank you.
