The Beta hCG blood test confirms early pregnancy and monitors progress, while also serving as a tumor marker for certain medical conditions. It plays a vital role in assessing reproductive and general health swiftly and effectively. This test is primarily conducted for the following reasons:
Pregnancy Confirmation:
Detects hCG levels to validate progress of pregnancy 1and1 monitor.
Estimate Fetal Age:
Check how far along you are in pregnancy.
Identify Abnormalities:
Diagnosis ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage possible or molar pregnancy.
Screen for Health Conditions:
Cancers detected include uterine, lung, breast and/or ovarian cancer and non-cancerous diseases like cirrhosis and IBD.
The Beta hCG test may clarify if you suspect pregnancy or have symptoms that suggest other underlying conditions. Key symptoms to consider:
Missing a menstrual cycle often indicates pregnancy; testing can confirm this or determine other reasons for amenorrhea.
Early pregnancy hormones can cause swollen, tender breasts, prompting a pregnancy test.
Can occur any time of day. Beta hCG tests help confirm pregnancy.
Ongoing fatigue may stem from pregnancy or other conditions affecting hCG levels.
Testing can help diagnose pregnancy complications like ectopic pregnancy if you experience unusual pain.
Spotting might be implantation bleeding, a sign of early pregnancy, while other health concerns may require further tests.
Hormonal changes increase urination in early pregnancy, often leading to a Beta hCG test for confirmation.
Beta hCG blood test measures hCG concentration in your blood. This is an essential hormone during early pregnancies and gives information about pregnancy progress and health in general.
The cells in the growing placenta create the hormone known as human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG). After the fertilised egg attaches to the uterine wall, the placenta provides nourishment, promoting healthy foetal growth and development.
No prep work is necessary! Eat and drink normally before the test. Simply show up at the testing facility relaxed and ready.
Pregnancy Stage (Gestational Ages) | hCG+β Level (IU/L) | hCG+β Level (mIU/mL) | What It Means for Your Health |
3 to 8 weeks | 5 to 10,000 IU/L | 5 to 10,000 mIU/mL | Early Pregnancy:hCG levels rise rapidly, confirming implantation and early development. Retest in 7–10 days for progression. |
9 to 24 weeks | 10,000 to 50,000 IU/L | 10,000 to 50,000 mIU/mL | Mid Pregnancy:hCG levels stabilize or decline slightly, reflecting healthy pregnancy development. Retest in 4–6 weeks for routine monitoring or as advised by a healthcare provider if clinical concerns arise. |
25 to 40 weeks | 50,000 to 100,000 IU/L | 50,000 to 100,000 mIU/mL | Late Pregnancy:Stabilized levels, ensuring continued support for the pregnancy nearing term. Routine care continues. Stabilized levels, ensuring continued support for the pregnancy nearing term. Routine retesting is recommended every 4 weeks unless complications are suspected. |
