Patient's question:
Early pregnancy, but the menstrual cycle is irregular. A total of three hCG tests were conducted, with results of 399, 1100, and 1800. Two progesterone tests were done, showing levels of 24 and 30. I want to ask if these results can indicate how many weeks pregnant I am? Is hCG doubling good?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to help you clarify. You didn't mention when you specifically took the triple blood hCG test. If you took it every other day, the doubling in the second test is relatively ideal, while the doubling in the third test is not as ideal. The progesterone level should gradually decrease as the gestational age increases, and the hCG value alone cannot predict the number of weeks of pregnancy, except in cases where the menstrual cycle is irregular. It is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a joyful mood at all times to enhance their physical condition and accelerate the recovery process.
