HCG Urine Stick

Qualitative hCG infertility testing is routinely used to confirm pregnancy. Quantitative hCG REC testing is used to check for the amount of hCG in present in the bloodstream. There are several advantages of hCG testing, as it can be used to diagnose an ectopic pregnancy, monitor a pregnancy that may be failing, or monitor a woman after miscarriage.

How does an hCG Urine Stick work?

In non-pregnant women, normally the hCG levels are not detectable. In early pregnancy, there there double the increase in the hCG level in the blood every two to three days. In case of ectopic pregnancy the doubling time is longer than two or three days. If the pregnancy is failing, there might be a longer doubling time and a person might even show falling hCG concentration. In case of a miscarriage, the hCG concentrations will drop at a rapid pace. In case there is no fall of hCG levels, it indicates that the remaining hCG producing tissue will have to be removed.

Important to know

Tests performed to early in the pregnancy can create a false-negative result while blood or protein in the urine may give a false-positive result. Certain drugs like diuretics can also cause false-negative results. You can find hCG IVF urine sticks from top manufacturers at Make Me Fertile.
