Q: i do beta hcg blood test and result is 0.2 iu/l. why it is not zero?this level of hcg can be for menstrual cycle?

: There is a baseline level of HCG and other hormones. HCG is made by the fetus as well as the Pituitary gland. A level of less than 5 is not consistent with pregnancy. A level higher than 30 is diagnostic of pregnancy. Between 5 and 30 you need to repeat it a couple of days later.
