Numbers instead of stripes
Quantitative hCG answers “yes/no” and “how it develops”: paired measurements after 48 hours are the standard for pain and spotting in the early stages, control to zero is required after ectopic and LDV (excluding persistence). The indicator is also included in prenatal screenings and monitoring of trophoblastic diseases. Result on the day of delivery.
When is it appointed?
- assessment of ovarian reserve before planning and IVF;
- confirmation and monitoring of early pregnancy (hCG);
- male infertility - inhibin B as a marker of spermatogenesis;
- forecast of response to ovulation stimulation;
- control after ectopic pregnancy and curettage.
Reserve and pregnancy
AMH shows the supply of follicles regardless of the day of the cycle - the main guideline for reproductive plans and IVF protocols; HCG confirms pregnancy days before the delay and monitors its development based on the dynamics of doubling; inhibin B reflects the functioning of Sertoli cells in men and granulosa cells in women. These tests answer the couple's most pressing questions with precise numbers.
