After pregnancy, female friends' HCG levels will also show significant changes, and they will double with the increase of pregnancy days. However, some pregnant women may not show a significant increase in HCG levels during this examination. So, what if the HCG doesn't grow at 5 weeks of pregnancy?
When a woman enters around 8 weeks of pregnancy, the HCG hormone secreted by the gestational trophoblast cells in her body reaches its peak and then undergoes a decline or remains in a sustained and stable state. If the HCG value does not increase significantly at 5 weeks of pregnancy after examination, it may be related to embryonic arrest.
The reference range for HCG in women at 5 weeks of pregnancy should be between 1000 and 50000 IU/l, and can reach around 270000 IU/l at its peak. HCG varies greatly at different stages of pregnancy and due to individual differences among pregnant women, but the concentration of HCG in women's bodies will rise to a certain level between 5-6 weeks of pregnancy.
Therefore, when there is no increase or low HCG value at 5 weeks of pregnancy, it is easy to induce threatened miscarriage or embryonic arrest. It is recommended to strengthen prenatal monitoring, especially to observe the levels of various hormones in the body at any time. If necessary, medication should be taken according to the doctor's guidance to protect the fetus. If diagnosed with embryonic arrest, necessary measures should be taken.
