What is a positive Beta hCG Test normal range?

The normal range for a positive Beta hCG Test can vary depending on the gestational age and the specific laboratory's reference range. Generally, hCG levels above 5 mIU/mL (milli-international units per milliliter) are considered positive for pregnancy. However, the hCG levels increase rapidly in early pregnancy, doubling approximately every 48-72 hours, so a single measurement may not provide enough information. A healthcare professional can interpret the specific hCG levels and monitor their progression to assess the viability of the pregnancy.
