Pregnancy blood test: what does the hCG level indicate?

Pregnancy
Pregnancy follow-up

Today you received the results of your blood test and you're still on a high from your positive pregnancy test, wondering what the hCG level is.

  • The hCG hormone is detectable in your blood as early as the 10th day after ovulation and its level increases gradually until the 8th week.
  • You can find an indication of the hCG level on your blood test.
  • From this time on, you can precisely date the start of your pregnancy and start planning now.

Ask your doctor for advice on how to interpret the dosage!

My HCG blood test came back from yesterday at 79 . This range means I’m 4-5 weeks pregnant.

Okay so I got a positive pregnancy test 8/18 and the past 3 Wednesdays I’ve had my blood drawn and my hcg levels went from 447(8/23) to 5181 (8/30) to 42981 (today), my first ultrasound is the 11th…. With the extreme jumps could it be multiples?!? #hcg #twins? #earlypregnancy

I mean it’s not really extreme jumps. It should double every 48 hours roughly. You have really good numbers tho. If you want multiples then I’m sending you multiple baby dust when you go to your ultrasound

I’m so excited to see my rainbow baby on the 7th 🥹 First HCG was 328.6 then two days later HCG was 941.2. I got more blood work today and I hope it’s still doubling, hoping to see over 3,600. My pregnancy in April-May was a rollercoaster when it came to HCG and progesterone levels and it ended in a miscarriage. Praying this baby continues to stick!

I feel like I’m in that miscarriage stage but I haven’t had any bleeding or severe cramps. I’m 5 weeks. Pregnancy was inconclusive today. My hcg did increase from 191 to 1385 but progesterone was only 3.9.

I see many women on here have been getting HCG levels, are you asking the doc for that or are they doing by standard testing. I'm going to be 10 weeks Tuesday and have only had my HCG tested once confirming pregnancy around 5 weeks. I've had a lot of blood tests for the "prenatal Labs" which they said they'll do every trimester but HCG has not been included in these labs. Also noted, I'm a high risk pregnancy.

My doctor only checks if there is a reason such as concerning symptoms or a history of ectopic, etc.

My first doctors appointment, and blood work they didn’t even check my HCG. I ended up getting a new dr, but needed to see the Dr in order to get any labs ordered. That appt wasn’t for 3/4 weeks.. I ended up ordering the HCG test on my own. There are websites you can order your own lab work. If you are concerned or need peace of mind and your dr won’t order it I suggest doing that. Not expensive at all, and it definitely eased my mind when the only thing I truly had was a positive pregnancy test going into my second trimester.

It doesn't really correspond to the weeks yes each week your hcg needs to be a certain level but each hcg level is different for each pregnancy one person can be 5 weeks and have a hcg level of 5,000 and the next person can have one of 3,000
