HCG is a hormone produced during pregnancy and is the hormone used to test for pregnancy

An hCG level of less than 5 mIU/mL is considered negative for pregnancy, anything above 25 mIU/mL is considered positive for pregnancy. Sensitive pregnancy test like AccuMed pregnancy tests can detect levels of HCG as low as 25mIU/mL in urine

Most sensitive tests will pick up positive hcg level around the time of your missed period (when your 4 weeks pregnant)

Testing HCG levels can be used to guestimate how far along a pregnancy is if women hasn’t had a period, has irregular periods, or doesn’t know when their LMP was. This happened to me after I stopped breastfeeding, I barely had a period but the doctor wanted to make sure I was 8 weeks before having me come in for an appointment. HCG levels per week can vary so much from person to person and the ranges are broad.

Typically doctors will have you do a series of hcg level tests to check your levels and see how fast they are increasing.

So when you get your results look at the chart and see where you fall. Keep in mind when comparing results that in a typical pregnancy the hcg levels within the first four weeks of a viable pregnancy, double about every two to three days. After six weeks, the levels will double about every 96 hours.

Levels peaks during the first 8 to 11 weeks of pregnancy, then decline and plateau.

This gauge is not full proof. My numbers were 19,000 at week 5 and 44,000 at week 6. There are also some factors that can sway your tests.

- [ ] Ectopic pregnancy may present with rising, falling or plateau β-hCG levels; thus, serial measurement is most useful to confirm fetal viability rather than to identify ectopic pregnancy.

- [ ] Miscarriage usually has slowly rising or falling HCG levels

- [ ] An hCG level that is 30%-50% higher than a standard singleton pregnancy could mean a twin pregnancy
