| Overview Risks Results |
| Normal Values: |
|
In women who are not pregnant, both the qualitative urine and serum HCG tests will be negative. The quantitative HCG test will be less than 5 mIU/mL. In a normal pregnancy, the HCG level should rise through the entire first trimester and slowly fall thereafter. |
| What abnormal results mean: |
|
HCG levels that do not rise appropriately may indicate a problem with your pregnancy. Some problems associated with an abnormally rising HCG level include miscarriage and ectopic (tubal) pregnancy. Extremely high levels of HCG may suggest twins. Your health care provider will understand the significance of your HCG levels, and he or she should discuss the level's significance with you. |
