My hcg came a bit on the lower side in the blood test and obviously im worried now. Im 6 weeks. Repeat test is after few days. Is there any food that helps na, or its just a wait and watch thing? anyone been through low hcg?
I totally understand how stressful it is to worry about hormone levels and baby's safety. But please don't stress about food changing your hCG, because it's a natural hormonal process. Just eat comforting ghar ka khana and trust your body, dear.
Please don't rely on food to change your hCG levels. If your doctor has told you that your hCG levels are low or not doubling, they might prescribe hormonal support like progesterone. Always follow your gynac's advice strictly for any hormone issues.
Actually, according to my pregnancy trackers, hCG levels are produced solely by the placenta and can't be increased by eating specific foods. The best thing is to eat a balanced diet to support overall baby growth. If your hCG is low, your doctor will advise the right medical support.
I am also learning these things slowly, but I heard that food cannot directly increase hCG levels. It increases naturally as the baby grows inside. Just take your prenatal vitamins and eat healthy, fresh food as advised by your doctor.
I was also reading up on this because I am trying to conceive! Turns out hCG is a hormone that increases naturally on its own if the pregnancy is progressing well. Food doesn't really change its levels, but eating healthy keeps your body strong. Have you asked your doctor about your levels?
