What ´s measured
What is the hCG hormone?
The placenta starts to release the hCG hormone approximately six to eight days after an egg is fertilised by a sperm. The laboratory diagnosis of pregnancy is based on the identification of hCG in serum. The level of this hormone significantly increases within approximately 10 weeks of pregnancy and then gradually decreases, while in the second half of pregnancy it stabilises and remains till childbirth.
If pregnancy is excluded, an elevated hCG blood level may indicate various tumorous diseases, such as trophoblastic disease or a germ cell tumour. When such conditions are present, the identification of the hCG level is important for the monitoring of therapy efficiency and the timely detection of a potential tumour recurrence.

When to take a blood hCG pregnancy test?
About 10 days after conception, the fertilized egg attaches to the uterine lining and the body starts producing hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin). Sometimes, however, the hCG level rises more slowly, so according to experts, it is advisable to undergo an hCG test no earlier than 2 to 3 days after missing a period.
What should be the level of hCG in the 5th week of pregnancy?
The hCG level is highest at the end of the first trimester. In the 5th week of pregnancy, according to experts, the level of hCG should be 1,000.00 - 10,000.00 IU/l. Higher hCG values appear in pregnancy with twins or triplets, or in case of abnormal growth of the fetus in the uterus. (6)
When will the results of the hCG blood test be?
The hCG pregnancy test from Unilabs is evaluated in 2 working days. In a simple blood test, one parameter (hCG) is investigated and one working day is enough to show whether or not you are pregnant. Come to the nearest Unilabs collection point and have the test done.
How to detect pregnancy in the first days?
The first symptoms of pregnancy include fatigue, breast pain, nausea, great urge to urinate and mood swings. Sometimes extreme heartburn, high blood pressure and skin problems are added. Take a pregnancy test and find out if you are pregnant or not.
