Human Chorionic Gonadotropin - Know the Facts

HCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin, is the hormone produced during early pregnancy that maintains the production of progesterone by preventing the breakdown of the corpus luteum. HCG levels can be taken as early as 8 days into pregnancy.

The typical HCG levels during pregnancy are:

7 days - 0-5 mIU/ML or IU/L

14 days - 3-426 mIU/ML or IU/L

21 days - 18-7,340 mIU/ML or IU/L

35-42 days - 1,080-56,500 mIU/ML or IU/L

As pregnancy increases, the numbers will continue to rise. HCG plays an important role during pregnancy by controlling a woman's metabolic functioning; however, it has also recently been used as a weight loss tool.
