Pregnancy test: Usually a HCG level less than 5 miu/ml is interpreted as negative for pregnancy. All laboratory tests must be interpreted based on the patients history, physical examination.

A member asked:

My HCG rose from 119, to 185, to 304, and now to 893 over the course of one week. I am currently 4 weeks, 6 days. Does this seem normal for my HCG to increase later and not double right away? or does this mean ectopic pregnancy?
