The beta-hCG blood test: an essential test

If your pregnancy test is positive and you are already on cloud nine, make an appointment with your doctor to find out if you are pregnant.

  • A positive pregnancy test is not absolute proof of pregnancy.
  • A 100% reliable beta-hCG blood test is a must to confirm that you are pregnant.
  • The good news for you is that the results are usually available within 24 hours.
  • If your hCG level is above 10, you can say "yay!" and let the joy of being a mom explodes

I got a blood test around 4 weeks and my hcg was 198 and I called for my results they said I wasn’t pregnant. I had to go in again because I still didn’t get my period only to be told the person lied to me and I was pregnant. What were your levels ?

If blood test is negative then you’re not pregnant cause that detects any hcg in your system. You start producing hcg righ away if u get pregnant

I was told my beta HCG levels where low and they are at 784. This was the first day of being 5 weeks pregnant. Anyone else have this issue?

I'm 14 weeks and just had mine checked. Mine were 16000 my doctor told me that every 48 they double. At 5 weeks they are supposed to be between 200 and 1700. Could be your not as far as long as they think you are and will do more testing on you. Miscalculated due date.

Usually by 14 weeks you’ve already peaked, also after 6 weeks it slows to about 96hrs.

You just need to see it double after 24/48 hours, but that’s a great starting number
