Being pregnant causes HGC to be in your body. If you want more detail than that; it's a hormone that your body produces when you are pregnant. That is what home pregnancy tests detect. If you have HGC in your urine, you are pregnant.
P.S. its actually HCG... if you'd like info on HGC, please go to this wikipedia link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HGC
There is a wide range of Serum Beta hCG during the first month of pregnancy. If the egg is fertilized, blastocyst implants in the endometrium on day 21, and hCG levels are present. Beta hCG levels should double approximately every 2 days for the first four weeks of pregnancy.
some people have had low beta hcg levels and not be pregnant i am one of them,.,
I believe that is impossible you hcg levels cant rise unless your pregnant
test used to measure the levels of hormones in the blood plasma
Beta-HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) is a hormone produced during pregnancy. Free beta-HCG refers to the fraction of beta-HCG that is not bound to other molecules in the blood. Both are used in pregnancy testing, but free beta-HCG may be more specific in certain situations like screening for Down syndrome.
It just means that your HCG levels are within the 4 week age.
Yes, having low hcg levels or no hcg levels while pregnant can be hereditary

no. your hCG levels should be atleast 20 if you are pregnant. Yes you are if your beta hcg test is above 5 anything less than 5 is not . It doubles up every 48-72 hours when your pregnant to keep the pregnancy going . .
The tube for collecting blood for Beta HCG testing is typically a plain red-top tube.
A normal woman may carry trace amounts of HCG in her system. I, for example, carry about .1 units. This is not near enough to consider pregnant. Some women can carry up to 5 units in her system and not be pregnant. After 5 units, though, they will monitor to see if your levels rise, because it is usually indicitive of pregnancy.
