If you\u2019ve become pregnant even once in your life then you must have gone through multiple tests to detect pregnancy<\/a>. The most commonly used methods include a home test kit and a blood test. Both of these tests detect a particular hormone in the blood which signifies pregnancy. The hormone is called hCG <\/strong>or Human Chorionic Gonadotropin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

hCG is produced by the body after conceiving. It is a very important hormone to maintain a healthy pregnancy. Throughout the pregnancy, the hCG falls and rises depending upon a lot of factors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implantation and hCG<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The process of pregnancy can be divided into several stages and typically lasts for around 280 days or 40 weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first stage of pregnancy is called implantation when a human embryo attaches itself to the uterus. Now you might be thinking, what is an embryo<\/em>? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right after intercourse the semen travels to the cervix and meets with a fertilized egg. Both of them together form a tiny baby which is called an embryo. This embryo attaches itself to the lining of the woman’s uterus, which is the place where a baby grows after 6-10 days from when the sperm and egg join together. This marks the first step in the process of pregnancy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"implanation<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Implantation is a very important stage of pregnancy. It is the time when the baby starts its life in the mother’s womb. It is also the time when most miscarriages happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Along with the embryo, one more temporary organ starts developing in the mother’s body. It is called the placenta<\/em>. Placenta is the organ from which all the nutrients and oxygen are delivered to the baby. Placenta also allows the exchange of gases and waste products between the mother and the baby.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After implantation occurs, hCG levels start to increase rapidly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2-3 days after implantation hCG can be detected in the mother’s body. However, the exact timing of hCG increase can vary from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In general, hCG levels will double every 48-72 hours in the first few weeks of pregnancy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The signs and symptoms of implantation are very similar to that of PMS.<\/a> These include cramps, light spotting, nausea, tender breasts, mood swings, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Timing of hCG Rise After Implantation<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The timing of hCG rise depends from woman to woman. First, the fertilized egg has to implant in the uterus which takes about 10 days after ovulation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There Are Certain Factors That Affect hCG After Implantation<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Number of Embryos Implanted<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Women who go through fertility treatments such as IVF have gotten multiple embryos implanted in their uterus. This causes hCG rise and it can be detected very early in such cases.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The Health of the Pregnancy<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The health of the pregnancy also affects the rise of hCG levels. In a healthy pregnancy, hCG levels rise after every 48 hours. If the hCG levels are not doubling up in the said time then it is an indication of something wrong with the pregnancy such as a miscarriage<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Sensitivity of the Pregnancy Test<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

The sensitivity of the pregnancy test used can also affect when hCG levels are detected. Some tests are more sensitive than others and such tests detect hCG levels in the body earlier. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Age of the Mother<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Multiple studies have been conducted which had proven that in mothers with higher age, <\/a>the hCG levels remain low and do not increase as much as in a younger woman\u2019s body.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Body Weight<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Weight issues such as overweight and obesity can also result in low hCG levels and can also affect the rise of hCG throughout the pregnancy.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
