Here’s a step-by-step guide for using the hCG calculator hormone tool. This tool helps you track your pregnancy progress based on your hCG levels.
How to use the application?
1. You need the results from two hCG tests.
2. Go to the online CALCULATOR for hCG calculation.
3. Enter the hCG level from the first test into the application. Then, input the second result and the time interval in hours between the two tests.
4. Click on 'Calculate' to see the percentage increase of hCG over 48 hours.
What do the results show?
The percentage increase in hCG over 48 hours will be displayed in red. hCG levels double every 48-72 hours during the 4th to 6th week of pregnancy. However, each pregnancy is unique, and in some cases, an increase of 35% in 48 hours is the minimum increase for a normal intrauterine pregnancy.
Although the hCG calculator provides valuable insights, it doesn’t replace medical advice. If you're feeling anxious and want immediate answers, you can call us at 697 461 4818 to schedule an appointment and get clear answers without stress.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
The second hCG test is usually done 48 hours after the first to check the increase in the hormone. Your doctor will guide you based on your specific situation.
If hCG doesn't increase at the expected rate, it may indicate that the pregnancy is not developing normally. However, this is not always a cause for concern as every pregnancy is different. Your doctor will assess the results and guide you accordingly.
During the early weeks of pregnancy, hCG levels double every 48-72 hours. However, values can vary significantly depending on the gestational week. In twin pregnancies, hCG levels are typically 30-50% higher.
