What if beta-hCG is less than 1?

What if beta-hCG is less than 1?

Nothing to worry. Less than 1.2 indicates that you are not pregnant.

What is a normal hCG level for a nonpregnant woman?

Normal hCG levels in nonpregnant women are less than 10.0 mIU/mL. If your hCG levels are outside of the normal range, it could mean a variety of things.

Can your hCG level be 0?

Getting hCG levels back to zero after miscarriage When you miscarry (and also anytime you give birth), your body no longer produces hCG. Your levels will ultimately go back to 0 mIU/mL. In fact, anything less than 5 mIU/mL is “negative,” so effectively, 1 to 4 mIU/mL is also considered “zero” by doctors.

What is the difference between a urine and a beta hCG test?

The urine test is a qualitative one in that it can only tell you if the sample is positive or negative for hCG. The same goes for the qualitative hCG blood test. In contrast, the beta hCG is a quantitative test, meaning it reveals not just that the hormone is present in the blood, but in exactly what amounts.

What does it mean when your hCG and beta levels are low?

If your hCG levels are low, it is likely that another test will be performed in a few days to confirm if levels are increasing or not. If your beta-hCG levels are lower than expected (and remain low in repeated testing), this may indicate: Ectopic pregnancy (when a fertilized egg implants outside of the uterus)

What is the normal range of hCG levels?

Normal levels are found in: Non-pregnant women: less than 5 mIU/mL Healthy men: less than 2 mIU/mL In pregnancy, HCG level rises rapidly during the first trimester and then declines slightly.

What is the Mui test used to diagnose?

It is also used as part of a screening test for Down syndrome. This test is also done to diagnose abnormal conditions not related to pregnancy that can raise HCG level. Results are given in milli-international units per milliliter (mUI/mL).
