About this service

Beta Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (β-hCG) analysis is a blood or urine test that measures the level of the hCG hormone, which is primarily secreted during pregnancy. The body begins producing this hormone after the fertilized egg implants in the uterine wall, and it is usually detectable about 11 days after fertilization through blood or 12–14 days through urine. This test is commonly used to confirm early pregnancy and to diagnose certain abnormal pregnancies, such as ectopic or molar pregnancies. It can also be used to monitor some types of cancer, such as testicular or ovarian cancer.

Purpose Test

Pregnancy: The test is the standard method to confirm early pregnancy by measuring hCG levels, which rise in the first weeks after fertilization.
Ectopic pregnancy: It helps detect ectopic pregnancy if hCG levels are lower than expected for the gestational age.
Miscarriage: Abnormal levels or a rapid decline in hCG may indicate a risk of miscarriage or issues with pregnancy continuation.
Tumor diseases: The test is also used to detect certain types of cancers, such as testicular or ovarian cancer, as some tumors produce this hormone.

Recommended groups

Women suspected of being pregnant: To confirm early pregnancy after a missed period or upon showing pregnancy symptoms.
Women experiencing abnormal symptoms during pregnancy: Such as bleeding or pelvic pain, to check for issues like ectopic pregnancy or miscarriage.
Women after fertility treatment: To confirm pregnancy success following IVF or other fertility therapies.
Men and women suspected of having hCG-producing tumors: Such as testicular or ovarian cancer, or molar pregnancy.
Women monitored after miscarriage or molar pregnancy: To ensure hCG levels return to zero.

Symptoms indicative

Missed menstrual period (amenorrhea)
Nausea or vomiting (morning sickness)
Unexplained fatigue and tiredness
Breast pain or swelling
Abnormal vaginal bleeding
Severe pelvic or abdominal pain
Dizziness or fainting

Sudden decrease or cessation of pregnancy symptoms
Heavy bleeding
Severe abdominal cramps or pain
Abnormal testicular enlargement in men
Abdominal or pelvic pain or swelling in women
General symptoms such as unexplained weight loss or extreme fatigue

Normal Levels

Negative result: If the level is below 5 mIU/mL, it indicates no pregnancy.
Positive result: If the level is 5 mIU/mL or higher, it generally indicates pregnancy.
Week 3-4: β-hCG ranges between 5 and 426 mIU/mL.
Week 4-5: β-hCG ranges between 19 and 7,340 mIU/mL.
Week 5-6: β-hCG ranges between 1,000 and 56,500 mIU/mL.
Week 6-7: β-hCG ranges between 5,000 and 200,000 mIU/mL.
Week 7-12: β-hCG ranges between 25,700 and 288,000 mIU/mL.
Very high levels: May indicate abnormal pregnancy, such as molar pregnancy or ectopic pregnancy.
Low levels: May indicate miscarriage or absence of pregnancy. Rapidly declining β-hCG levels may signal pregnancy failure.

Normal levels vary depending on gestational age. In a normal pregnancy, β-hCG levels rise and approximately double every 48–72 hours during the first weeks.

What does elevated β-hCG indicate?

Elevated β-hCG levels usually indicate pregnancy. However, it may also suggest issues such as ectopic pregnancy or molar pregnancy in some cases.

What does low β-hCG indicate?

Low β-hCG levels may indicate miscarriage or improper fetal growth. Rapidly declining levels can be a warning sign of a problem.

Can β-hCG be used to determine fetal sex?

No, β-hCG testing cannot determine fetal sex. It is only used to confirm the presence of pregnancy.

Do I need to fast before the test?

Typically, fasting is not required, but it is recommended to follow your doctor’s instructions regarding any special requirements.
