Physiological Reference Ranges
The ranges below represent standard adult physiological values. Your laboratory's printed reference range always takes precedence.
0 – 5 UI/L
0 – 5 UI/L
0 – 2 UI/L
What does a low result mean?
A concentration under 5 UI/L confirms the absence of active pregnancy.
What does a high result mean?
A level exceeding 25 UI/L provides robust confirmation of early pregnancy, typically doubling every 48 hours early on.
Questions ready for your doctor
Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:
- Does this number correspond well with gestational age from my last menstrual period?
- Would a repeat blood draw in 48 hours help track the expected hormone progression?
- When should we schedule the initial dating ultrasound?
