QUICK AND CLEAR

The Quick & Clear II Pregnancy test can detect pregnancy as early as 1 day after a missed menses. Since levels of 20 mIU/ml of hCG have been observed as early as 3 to 4 days after implantation, hCG may be detected before a first missed menses. 8 The amount will vary greatly with gestational age and between patients. First morning urine specimens approximate serum hCG levels which reach 5 to 50 mIU/ml within 1 week of gestational age. 2... Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG) is a glycoprotein hormone which is secreted by the developing placenta after fertilization. 1 The appearance and increased levels of hCG provide an excellent indicator of pregnancy. The hCG hormone doubles approximately every 2.2 days during the first trimester. 2 Detectable levels start at 5 mIU/ml during the first week of gestation and rise to 100,000 mIU/ml at 2 to 3 months. High risk terminations may be associated with a slow rise in hCG levels. 3 During the 2nd and 3rd trimester, hCG levels decline 10% to 15%..
