Check whether your hCG levels fall within the normal range for your week of pregnancy
Track your hCG levels & doubling time in early pregnancy
Enter two hCG blood test results to calculate how fast your levels are doubling.
Enter a single hCG level and how many weeks pregnant you are to see if it's in the typical range.

Human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) is the "pregnancy hormone." It's produced by cells that form the placenta shortly after a fertilized egg implants in the uterus. hCG is what home pregnancy tests detect, and blood tests can measure its exact amount in mIU/mL.
In early pregnancy, hCG should rise predictably. Rather than focusing on a single number, doctors look at how quickly it's doubling:
A rise of at least 35โ53% over 48 hours is generally considered reassuring in early pregnancy.
| Weeks Since LMP | Typical Range (mIU/mL) |
|---|---|
| 3 weeks | 5 โ 50 |
| 4 weeks | 5 โ 426 |
| 5 weeks | 18 โ 7,340 |
| 6 weeks | 1,080 โ 56,500 |
| 7โ8 weeks | 7,650 โ 229,000 |
| 9โ12 weeks | 25,700 โ 288,000 |
| 13โ16 weeks | 13,300 โ 254,000 |
| 17โ24 weeks | 4,060 โ 165,400 |
| 25โ40 weeks | 3,640 โ 117,000 |
Note: Ranges are very wide and vary by lab. A healthy pregnancy can fall outside these numbers.
This can be normal โ especially if dates are off โ but may sometimes indicate an early loss or ectopic pregnancy. Your doctor will repeat tests and may order an ultrasound.
Very high levels can simply mean your dates are earlier than thought, or may indicate twins/multiples. Your doctor will confirm with an ultrasound.
