    This document outlines typical human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels during pregnancy by weeks since the last menstrual period, with levels ranging from 5-50 mIU/ml in the 3rd week to 3,640-117,000 mIU/ml in weeks 25-40. It notes that low hCG could indicate a miscalculated date, ectopic pregnancy, or miscarriage, but a healthy pregnancy can also have low levels, while high levels could mean a miscalculated date, molar pregnancy, or multiples. Fertility drugs containing hCG may interfere with test results, but most other medications do not affect hCG levels.

    Low hCG levels


    Low hCG levels may indicate a miscalculated date of conception, anectopic pregnancy, or a possible miscarriage. However, a perfectly healthy pregnancy may have low hCG levels.

    High hCG levels


    High hCG levels may indicate a miscalculated date of conception, a molar pregnancy, or a multiple pregnancy

    What can interfere with hCG levels?


    Some fertility drugs containing hCG may affect your hCG levels. Other than that, other medications including antibiotics and oral contraceptives will not affect your hCG level. If you are taking a fertility medication that would affect your hCG level your health care provider should discuss with you how this would affect your tests.
