Human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG (hCG) - a hormone that begins to actively produce female body after conception takes place and fixing on the wall of a fertilized egg uterus. Based on laboratory CG data to draw conclusions about how the process of gestation occurs, or how the body recovers after abortion. HCG levels after miscarriage should also be monitored, since it allows to diagnose a variety of diseases.
How quickly the level falls after a miscarriage
Since pregnancy is rapid increase in the level of hCG. 2 days it increased by 2 times. If there is a decrease in this indicator, it indicates that there is a threat of termination of pregnancy. Therefore, hCG begins to fall after a miscarriage, and a few days before its occurrence.
In the early stages
HCG with miscarriage in early pregnancy reaches its lowest level. For this reason, if a pregnant woman begins to feel bad, it is recommended as soon as possible to seek medical help. After receiving the results of the analysis on the level of human chorionic gonadotropin and comparing it with the period of gestation, the doctor can confirm or deny the threat of miscarriage.
Due to the fact that there is a spontaneous reduction of HGH after the termination of pregnancy the body needs about 2 weeks to recover, i.e., hormone level reaches its standard rates for 14 days.
The later stages
Increased levels of hCG occur before 12 weeks. Since this period, the active component stabilizes and then begins to decline it occur. Starting from 22 weeks of re-starts, but slower growth of hCG.
Depending on what the term miscarriage occurred and what the cause, it will be possible to draw conclusions about how the body recovers quickly. If the miscarriage was triggered by trauma, severe stress and so forth., Then the index of the hormone can long stay elevated. When a woman has other problems, eg, Rhesus-conflict, the body itself begins to prepare itself to fetal rejection.
In contrast to earlier periods, to restore a woman's body needs more time. For this reason, human chorionic gonadotropin index bounces back for about a month.
How many holds the record after abortion
Abortion - a procedure in which the removal of the body of a woman of the embryo. After abortion body will need time to understand that the further production of the hormone is no longer required. For this reason, for a few days may be a further increase in the level of hCG.
The process of reducing the hormone is gradual. In most cases, HGH begins to fall for 6-7 day after the medical procedure. For the complete recovery of the body it can take up to 2 months.
If the value for a long time does not drop
If after a miscarriage rate of hCG did not fall, and continues to increase, it may be caused by such factors:
- Fetus survived. Modern equipment allows to minimize the risk of medical errors, but it also should not be ruled out. Therefore, if a woman had all the symptoms of miscarriage, but the figure of hCG for a long time is not reduced, it should carry out additional inspections.
- Multiple pregnancy. During pregnancy interruption can occur only one embryo removal.
- Residues of membranes. After a miscarriage or an abortion is necessary to be examined to make sure that the uterus has been completely cleared. If particles remain therein fetal membrane, the organism can continue to assume that pregnancy proceeds.
- Taking certain medications.
- The presence of a malignant tumor.
In spite of the existing standards, every woman's body is different. For this reason, the assumption about how quickly comes to HCG normal, you can do after studying the medical history of the patient.
