An HCG test detects the HCG hormone that is present in large amounts during pregnancy. Testing this via blood tells your doctor what level you are at, if you are pregnant, as well as if the pregnancy is on track and healthy.

It’s a blood work done to confirm pregnancy! There will be 2 rounds taken 48 hours apart and they will confirm and compare HCG a levels if they increase dramatically within that time frame you are pregnant

Okay not to be rude buuuut… If you don’t feel comfortable asking your doctor these questions you need to either a) get to know them better or b) find a doctor you’re comfortable asking questions. My doctor already knows I’ll ask about 25 questions per visit. He’s seen me in most vulnerable positions and I think everyone can benefit from learning to consider your healthcare team one of the few non judgmental places. Now with that being said they check your hormone levels for several reasons, it can be to confirm you’re really pregnant, it can be to see if ur baby’s growing too fast too slow, it can be because they want to see how far along you are, there’s several reasons. Just ask your doctor

It’s a blood test that check your HCG levels.
The doctor will give you the form. Take it to the nurse, she will draw the blood, doctor will call you back in for the results in a day or so
You listed what kind of test it is right in your question there. <3

It’s a hormone that is produced when pregnant. No pregnancy its usually under 5. Pregnant is over 25 and it rises depending on how pregnant you are. Xx

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone normally produced by the placenta. If you are pregnant, you can detect it in your urine. Blood tests measuring hCG levels can also be used to check how well your pregnancy is progressing, including your baby’s development.

It’s for pregnancy 
higher the level could mean multiple baby’s as it’s higher with two than one doesn’t mean you are though carrying twins or more though could just be your levels are higher or your alot more further on than you expect to be!!! nothing to worry about pee or blood is how they check hope that gives you some idea of why they give them out

HCG stands for human chorionic gonadotropi. Aka Pregnancy Test. You may use urine or blood samples to test what levels you are in determining how far along you are.
Most of these women on here on being too negative and hateful. Post is anonymous. You have no idea what age the person is who posted this. No need to be rude. Just be nice. Don’t have nothing nice to say, please don’t say anything at all.

If someone asking a question on a Facebook group instead of googling it is that upsetting for some people, then maybe they shouldn’t be on Facebook. Jesus Christ, get over yourselves thinking you’re clever and funny by saying “Google” and keep scrolling if this simple question has upset you so much instead of potentially making someone feel small for asking.

They have a reason to think you may be pregnant or they’re to rule out pregnancy.
Pregnancy can share a ton of symptoms as other illnesses. Some major & some not. Like a really bad case of the flu. Or if you are pregnant. Its to possibly how long, far, risk factors (if you lost babies before, etc).
Many women get them not while pregnant because its just something to eliminate if you might be sick.
So many rude people! Maybe she’s nervous and this was her way of wanting conversation or support… Women sure don’t lift each other up anymore! So sad

HCG would stand for: Human chorionic gonadotropin
I’m thinking they probably said hsg.
Hcg can be used for several things, check for pregnancy, how far along you are. Hcg levels double about every 72 hours so it can help determine conception dates and stability of pregnancy. Hcg can also be used to check for certain cancers in the ovaries and testicles. No reason to be mean on a simple question.

Theres a qualitatative and quantitative test that can be done to measure IF you have the HCG hormone with simply a yes or no. (I think minimum level is 5 to be pregnant.) It can also measure how much of the hormone is in your blood to determine if it is a viable pregnancy or not.
Regardless, good luck!

They either meant a general pregnancy test or they want to get a test on your HCG hormone level to make sure pregnancy is progressing as it should. The number should double every 2-3 days in most viable pregnancies.
The human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) test is done to measure the amount of the hormone hCG in blood or urine to see if a woman is pregnant. HCG may also be measured to see if cancer of the ovaries or testicles is present.

It measures the amount of the hormone in the blood. If looking for a pregnancy it can determine about how far along. However if you aren’t suspecting pregnancy they could be checking for other variables… in this case you should clarify the need with the doctor, they may have explained and you missed or forgot that part.

It’s a hormone test that let’s the drs know how your reproductive organs are functioning, if your pregnant, or might be have unusual periods due to low levels.
Why are we as a society afraid to ask these questions to the doctors ordering these tests?

- Seems you got the answer you were looking for, so that’s good. 2. If you ever have questions always write them down or make a note somewhere, to bring to every appt. And if you leave an appt and aren’t sure, make sure to have either the number of your clinic or access to the patient portal so you can email. This was a simple broad question, but there maybe some questions that come up, that would be best answers by your doctor rather than fb. Even ladies who can relate or went through something similar, still can’t accurately say anything about your particular situation, so making sure to have a plan and access to your medical team IS essential.
- Also, look into parenting and birthing classes as well, those can be great to help give you a good foundation for starting motherhood.

Its the pregnancy hormone:) depending on how many weeks youre pregnant, it will be at a certain level.
HCG is your hormone levels when pregnant your levels are higher .
What is with woman these days!? “Woman support woman” yea right. Clearly not on social media. Get off your high horse people. Sometime we forget to ask with everything going on. Lol. If you don’t know the answer to her question you could just not say anything either lol.
HCG = Human chorionic gonadotropin aka the pregnancy hormone. Here’s a link that is more knowledgeable than I am on the subject: hCG Levels | The American Pregnancy Association
Ewww, leaving this page based on these comments. Hope some of you’re kids come out with better attitudes, such great role models
