When does hcg start to rise in pregnancy?

Question

I'm trying to track my pregnancy very closely. I know HCG is an important hormone. Roughly when does HCG start to rise after conception, and when can it usually be detected?

Yamini Bajpai · Answer

For IVF, we track beta hCG very precisely around day 10-14 after transfer. It starts rising slowly and then speeds up, so stay hopeful and calm.

I am also trying to understand this, it is all so new to me. I hope we both get our positive results very soon.

It starts going up after implantation! Keep tracking and wait for that beautiful double line soon.

Mandira Munshi · Answer

Absolutely agree. Usually hCG is detectable in blood first, then in urine a few days later.

Darshanee Bajpai · Answer

I remember counting the days and researching hCG levels constantly, it was such an emotional rollercoaster. It rises very quickly once the baby implants, hang in there!

God has his own perfect timing for everything. Let your body do its work naturally, stay happy, and wait patiently for the levels to rise.

Savita Guha · Answer

Don't keep checking the tests every day, bacha. hCG takes time to build up in your urine, so wait at least 5 days after your missed date for a clear line.

Madhu Solanki · Answer

It starts rising right after implantation, which usually happens 6 to 12 days after ovulation. It doubles every 48 hours in early pregnancy.

Damini Mangal · Answer

In our family they say wait for a week after missed period to check. Trust your doctor's blood test if you want to know the exact hCG levels early on.

My doctors at the hospital explained that hCG rises rapidly after the embryo attaches. They did a serial beta hCG test to confirm my levels were doubling perfectly.
