Benefits of Monitoring Your Beta hCG Levels
Earliest Confirmation
hCG is detectable in the blood soon after implantation, offering the earliest chemical confirmation of pregnancy.
Quantitative Result
Provides a precise numerical value (mIU/mL) rather than just a simple "positive/negative" result.
Fertility Treatment Monitoring
Essential for confirming whether IVF or other fertility treatments have been successful.
Early Viability Insight
Though a single number is not diagnostic, repeat testing allows clinicians to check if the level is rising appropriately (doubling time).

What do your Beta hCG test results mean?
| Weeks Gestation | hCG+β Level (IU/L) or (mIU/mL) | What do your results indicate? |
|---|---|---|
| Not Pregnant | <5 |
Not Pregnant: Levels below 5 IU/L usually suggest no pregnancy. You may retest in 5–7 days if you suspect pregnancy. |
| 3 – 4 weeks | 5 – 10,000 |
Early pregnancy: This range indicates implantation and early pregnancy. Due to the wide range, clinicians focus on the rate at which the level doubles (usually every 48–72 hours) to assess viability. Retest in 3–5 days to confirm and monitor progression. |
| 4 – 5 weeks | 1,000 – 50,000 |
Early pregnancy: This range indicates implantation and early pregnancy. Due to the wide range, clinicians focus on the rate at which the level doubles (usually every 48–72 hours) to assess viability. Retest in 3–5 days to confirm and monitor progression. |
| 5 – 6 weeks | 10,000 – 100,000 |
Early pregnancy: Indicates early pregnancy. hCG levels are highly variable, with levels peaking in mid-pregnancy and then declining before stabilising. Assessing menstrual cycle history and ultrasound scans are more accurate at predicting gestational age. |
| 6 – 8 weeks | 15,000 – 100,000+ |
Early pregnancy: Indicates early pregnancy. hCG levels are highly variable, with levels peaking in mid-pregnancy and then declining before stabilising. Assessing menstrual cycle history and ultrasound scans are more accurate at predicting gestational age. |

This rapid blood test is designed solely as an initial screening tool for triage and is not a substitute for a full lab-based venous blood draw. The results offer quantitative insights but are for informational purposes only and should not be considered a medical diagnosis. Any abnormal or significant result must be followed up with a medical assessment with your doctor and potential confirmatory lab-based testing.
