Pregnancy blood test: what does the hCG level indicate?

Today you received the results of your blood test and you're still on a high from your positive pregnancy test, wondering what the hCG level is.


  • The hCG hormone is detectable in your blood as early as the 10th day after ovulation and its level increases gradually until the 8th week.
  • You can find an indication of the hCG level on your blood test.
  • From this time on, you can precisely date the start of your pregnancy and start planning now.


Ask your doctor for advice on how to interpret the dosage!

Soooo, I’m about 10/11 DPO. Did a blood test for HCG yesterday the Hospital & it was negative. (Period due to come Oct 18/19.) But I’m having pregnancy symptoms I’ve never had before. (Increased smell, constipation, lower back pain) they did say I have a cyst in my ovary as well. Which I haven’t had before. Is that a sign of pregnancy? I just need some answers 😩😩

So I found out earlier this week that I'm pregnant! I have irregular periods so I'm not sure how far along I am. My last period was 6 weeks ago, but I had an ultrasound 4 weeks ago to look for ovarian cysts and there weren't any signs of a pregnancy at that time. I had my first blood draw on Wednesday and my results were 11,900 hCG. Any guesses for how far along I might be? I have more blood tests coming up and my ultrasound isn't until the end of the month.

Ladies i’m aware that some of us have been taking pregnancy tests where is though some are negative some may be a fainted line, now we can do or you can do is get blood work done from your doctor because sometimes a home pregnancy test won’t always be accurate especially when your HCG level is not high enough when it’s supposed to be..

Today we went for my first prenatal appointment after my miscarriage on New Years; this is how it went: -no calculation of how many weeks(I had to determine on my own) -no ultrasound -no HCG blood test -told that the miscarriage has nothing/no effect on this pregnancy -told that I was extremely obese and needed to lose weight to at least get down to 30 bmi

I'm sure we will hear from my doctor soon but I just got an email with my test results from that guest big mega panel. We got pregnant on birth control, so all of this has been new and surprising and we're concerned about the health of the pregnancy. It's my first, at 31! My first blood test was just four days after my missed period and HCG was 758, progesterone 10.8. Four days later they took blood for all the additional testing but also repeated those tests so now my HCG is 2200, but the progesterone has dropped to 9.2 Has this happened to anyone else? Can it be indicative of an ectopic pregnancy? Miscarriage?
