Q

what is last menstrual period?

A

This is commonly used in pregnancy dating. Doctors often measure pregnancy from the first day of the last menstrual period (LMP) because the exact date of fertilization is usually unknown. Since ovulation (when an egg is released and can be fertilized) typically happens about two weeks after the start of the last period, the “14 days prior to fertilization” roughly corresponds to the start of the menstrual cycle.

HCG in pregnancy
Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is a hormone that helps confirm pregnancy and can also be used to diagnose certain cancers. Pregnancy hCG is produced by the placenta during pregnancy. hCG levels increase rapidly during pregnancy, peaking around 10 weeks. hCG levels can be detected in urine 12–15 days after ovulation in a 28-day menstrual cycle. hCG blood tests are more sensitive than urine tests. Healthcare providers use hCG levels to confirm pregnancy and monitor how the pregnancy is progressing.
