A member asked:
Is a quantitative blood test the best test to confirm pregnancy for women with low hcg? will it detect pregnancy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
HCG is only positive with pregnancy, but low levels can also accompany pregnancies outside the uterus (ectopic). A quantitative HCG is usually done to ascertain normal progression of the pregnancy.
