5 Key Points
What is the normal range of Beta-HCG in pregnancy?
- The value of beta-hcg during pregnancy doubles every 2-3 days. After the first 2 months, this will reduce and double every 4-5 days and eventually taper off.
- The normal ranges in the first 3 months are as follows 3-4 weeks : 16 to 156, 4-5 weeks : 100 to 4,890, 5-6 weeks : 1,110 to 31,500, 6-7 weeks : 2,560 to 82,300, 7-8 weeks : 23,100 to 1,51,000, 8-9 weeks : 27,300 to 2,33,000, 9 - 13 weeks : 20,900 to 2,91,000, 13 to 18 weeks : 6,140 to 1,03,000
- Weeks mentioned are weeks from the last menstrual period. To know the time accurately, it is counted from the first day of bleeding of the last menstrual period.
What is the normal range of Beta-hcg when not pregnant?
- The normal range is less than 5
Is beta-hcg blood test for pregnancy better than the urine home test for pregnancy?
- The urine pregnancy test is qualitative or a yes/no style of test. In some cases it may be falsely negative, especially in early pregnancy. As such the blood test is far more reliable and accurate, down to 25 IU/L concetrations.
What is the earliest possible time at which this test can tell me if I am pregnant or not?
- The beta-hcg blood test for pregnancy starts to show an elevation around 4 weeks after conception.
- A single value of beta-hcg cannot tell you if you are pregnant.
- Doctors usually use serial monitoring or serial levels of beta-hcg to check for what is known as "doubling". This refers to the fact that the value of beta-hcg doubles every 2-3 days in the first two months. A steady doubling is more confirmatory of pregnancy.
Will there be a difference in the value of Beta-HCG in case of twins or triplets?
- Yes, in the first 3 months, twins and triplets are associated with much higher values of Beta-HCG as compared to singleton pregnancies.

What is Beta HCG Test
The Beta HCG test is a blood test used to detect the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in the blood. This hormone is produced during pregnancy and can be detected as early as 11 days after conception. The test is performed by drawing a blood sample from a vein in the arm, and the results are typically available within a few days. It is commonly used to confirm pregnancy or to monitor the progression of a pregnancy.

- Women who are pregnant: Beta HCG test is commonly used to confirm pregnancy. The test is used to detect the presence of the hormone human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) in a womans blood or urine. HCG is produced by the placenta during pregnancy, and its presence indicates that a woman is pregnant.
- Men with testicular cancer: Beta HCG test can also be used to monitor the treatment of testicular cancer. Testicular cancer cells produce high levels of beta HCG, so the test can be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment and to detect any recurrence of the cancer.
- Individuals with certain medical conditions or tumors: Beta HCG test can also be used to detect and monitor certain medical conditions, such as molar pregnancies, ectopic pregnancies, and gestational trophoblastic disease.

Interpretation
In which other conditions can Beta-HCG be raised?
Beta-HCG is not confirmatory for pregnancy. It can be elevated in many other conditions like : ectopic pregnancy(pregnancy in an abnormal site), Gestational Trophoblastic Disease(an abnormal growth during pregnancy), Gestational Choriocarcinoma (a type of cancer that develops from the early fetus), and some tumors. The table below describes the values of HCG in these conditions. Please consult with your doctor before interpreting your HCG value.| Conditions other than Pregnancy where Beta-HCG is Elevated | |
|---|---|
| Disease | Value and Management |
| Ectopic Pregnancy | Beta HCG > 1500 IU/L & Transvaginal USG shows no sac, OR Beta-HCG > 6500 IU/L and abdominal USG shows no sac. Source |
| Gestational Trophoblastic Disease | Beta HCG > 100,000 IU/L and USG shows abnormal appearance like snow-storm. Source |
| Germ Cell Tumors | May be seen in men or women who are not pregnant. |
Can Beta-HCG level be false positive for pregnancy?
A raised Beta-HCG value does not necessarily imply pregnancy. As such "false positive" values are possible. A falsely elevated value may be seen in cases of an ectopic pregnancy, a non-viable pregnancy, or some kinds of cancers.Is a false negative Beta-HCG test possible?
A false-negative test for beta-hcg in pregnancy would be one where a viable pregnancy is present, but the beta-hcg level does not correspond to the same. False negative results may be seen in urine-pregnancy strip tests. It is not usually seen with blood tests, as blood tests are far more accurate and quantitative measures, with a much lower limit of detection.Which other test can be done to help the diagnosis of pregnancy
Ultrasound or USG is the gold standard for pregnancy diagnosis, and serum progesterone levels are also supportive evidence for a pregnancy.| Test | Description |
|---|---|
| Abdominal Ultrasound | An abdominal ultrasound uses high-frequency sound waves to create images of the uterus and the developing fetus. It can help visualize the gestational sac, confirm the pregnancy, and assess the health of the pregnancy. |
| Progesterone | Progesterone is a hormone that plays a key role in supporting a healthy pregnancy. A blood test for progesterone levels can help assess the viability of the pregnancy and the functioning of the corpus luteum, which produces progesterone in early pregnancy. |
