What was your hCG level at 5 weeks ectopic?

Absence of a normal gestational sac in the uterus, with an LMP estimated at 5 weeks or greater and a b-hCG of 2000 mIU/ml or more, is concerning for abnormal pregnancy. Abnormal elevations in b-hCG, including an increase of less than 53% over 48 hours, is suggestive of a nonviable pregnancy, including ectopic.

What is considered a high hCG level at 5 weeks?

hCG levels at 5 weeks should be about 19 to 7,340 mIU/mL. As you can see, it’s a big increase from week 4! And it just keeps getting bigger. hCG levels at 6 weeks will increase to around 1,080 to 56,500 mIU/mL.

Does slow rising hCG always mean ectopic?
