How to List Your HCG Levels

Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone that is produced during periods of pregnancy. Composed of cells from the placenta, it is detectable by both blood and urine test. Interestingly, according to the American Pregnancy Association, "In about 85% of normal pregnancies, the hCG level will double every 48 - 72 hours." However, if your hCG levels are lower than what is considered "normal," the Association says you should not despair. lf you do plan to track your levels, listing them is simple.
