My doctor mentioned my hcg levels in the blood report and said they looked good, but i didnt really understand what it actually does. Just trying to learn more about my own body. Can someone explain in simple words?
Haan, hCG is basically the pregnancy hormone that you see on those test strips, na! It increases very fast in the first few weeks to help the baby settle nicely in the uterus. It's totally natural and just means your body is doing its job!
When I was at my parents' place, my mother explained that this is the hormone that makes the baby grow safely inside the womb. It signals your body to nourish the pregnancy. It's a beautiful way nature takes care of us, so don't worry about the scientific details too much.
hCG is the main hormone that supports the early pregnancy and tells your body to stop your periods. I remember tracking my hCG levels before my scheduled C-section. It is what keeps the pregnancy safe in those early weeks, so it is very important!
For our IVF journey, we had to monitor our beta hCG levels so closely after the embryo transfer. This hormone basically tells the body to produce progesterone to sustain the baby. It is a beautiful signal of life, and I pray your journey goes smoothly.
Well, hCG is the little hormone responsible for giving us those crazy cravings and morning sickness! It basically maintains the early pregnancy but also makes you crave spicy chat or sweets at 2 AM. Quite a mischievous hormone, I must say!
I am in my 19th week now and I read that hCG is also what causes all the intense nausea and breast soreness in the first trimester! My levels were so high and I was constantly anxious about them. Did anyone else feel extremely sick because of hCG spike?
