A beta hcg is a blood test given in early pregnancy to measure the quantity or amount of hcg, the pregnancy hormone. This test can be done as early as a week after ovulation, even before a positive hpt. The result or number of hcg detected will vary from woman to woman and pregnancy to pregnancy.

Your pregnancy blood test came back as 21941 what does that mean?

A qualitative hCG test detects if hCG is present in the blood. The result is either positive or negative.You have had a quantitative hCG test (or beta hCG) which measures the amount of hCG actually present in the blood.

Why is the blood value low in the blood pregnancy test?

Hi, In the Quantiative Beta HCG blood pregnancy test, the value of HCG that the tests looks for before you get a positive, is low because it determines and confirms pregnancy very early. If you have low HCG in your blood test result, this may means several things. * Your not as far along as you thought you was. * Your at risk of miscarriage. In the case of risk of miscarriage, the doctors usually repeat the blood test within 48 hours to see if HCG levels have decreased or increased.


Is hcg and beta hcg the same test for pregnancy?

They are similar. HCG tests look for the HCG hormone in either blood or urine, but it is only detected at a certain level, 20 units, I believe. Beta HCG, on the other hand, is a blood test that detects the exact amount of HCG in your bloodstream. It will give the doctor an exact number, so technically, pregnancy can be diagnosed sooner.
