When you are pregnant the level of hCG
increases and usually doubles every two to three days. It then reaches a
maximum level by the second or third month of pregnancy, followed by a decrease
occurring in the third trimester.
Here are typical hCG Beta values in pregnant
women up to 22 days post-retrieval (DPR) or days post-ovulation (DPO).
DPR or DPO Amount of hCG in
mIU/ml

16
40 - 400
18
70 - 800

140 - 1600
22
180 - 3200
Here are the hCG Beta values given by the number of weeks after ovulation:
after
the 1st week and 2 days
5.0 to 50.0 mUI/ml
Between
1st and 2nd week
5.0 to 500.0 mUI/ml
Between
2nd and 3rd week
100.0 to 5,000.0 mUI/ml
Between 3rd and 4th
week
500.0 to 10,000.0 mUI/ml
Between 4th and 5th
week
1,000.0 to 50,000.0 mUI/ml
Between 5th and 6th
week
10,000.0 to 100,000.0 mUI/ml
Between 6th and
8th week
15,000.0 to 200,000.0 mUI/ml
Between 8th and
12th week
10,000.0 to 100,000.0 mUI/ml
Note: The levels of hCG for pregnant women with twins or more are
usually higher than the values above, which represent the typical values
for just one baby.
