Hi @tersia, I merged your 2 discussions of the same name into one discussion that appears in the Women's Health support group as well as the Fertility & Reproductive Health support group.

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG or b-hCG) is a hormone that the placenta makes when a woman is pregnant. Certain cancer cells can also make it. You can read more here: https://cancer.ca/en/treatments/tests-and-procedures/human-chorionic-gonadotropin-hcg-or-b-hcg

When will you have the hCG test done?
