Does beta hCG levels of 54.50 ml/mL mean pregnancy?

Question

Hi doctor,

I am a 26 year old female. My LMP was on the 8th of last month. I missed my period this month. I have done a home pregnancy test on the 10th of this month, and I have seen a faint line which was confusing. So, I took a beta hCG blood test and got the result as 54.50 mlU/mL. Could you please let me know whether I am pregnant or not? I have attached the reports.

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have gone through your question and understood your concern. I have reviewed the reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The pregnancy is definitely there. However, I will suggest you get a repeat beta hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) test after 48 hours of the previous sample. If an increase is more than double in 48 hours, then it is a viable pregnancy. Otherwise ectopic and chemical pregnancy should be ruled out.

Hope you found the answer helpful. Regards.

Hi,

Welcome back to icliniq.com.

I have seen the reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity). The increase in the beta hCG levels is more than double in 48 hours. So, it is most likely a viable intrauterine pregnancy. Get an ultrasound done after 14 days to confirm the gestational age.
