Measures hCG levels in your blood to confirm pregnancy as early as 7 days after conception. The quantitative hCG blood test measures the exact level of human chorionic gonadotropin in your blood. Unlike home pregnancy tests that give a yes/no result, this blood test provides a precise number that can confirm pregnancy earlier, estimate gestational age, and monitor pregnancy progression. Serial measurements showing appropriately rising hCG levels help confirm a healthy early pregnancy. **Clinical use:** Quantitative beta-hCG blood test — confirms pregnancy as early as 6-8 days post-conception, tracks early pregnancy viability (rising hCG every 48-72h), and screens for certain tumors that secrete hCG. ## Who should order it? Anyone confirming pregnancy after a positive home test, tracking early pregnancy viability after IVF or miscarriage history, or evaluating unexplained pelvic pain (rule out ectopic). ## Biomarkers measured - hCG (Quantitative) ## Price by lab | Lab | Test price | All-in (with $6 fee) | Notes | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Quest Diagnostics | $26.99 | $32.99 | Choose at checkout; walk-in patient service centers nationwide (not NY/NJ) | Rhode Island is not served.

Home tests give a yes/no answer once urine hCG crosses ~20-25 mIU/mL — usually around 4 weeks. Quantitative blood hCG gives the exact number and can confirm pregnancy 1-2 weeks earlier (as low as 5 mIU/mL). It also lets you track doubling time — a key viability marker in early pregnancy. ### How much does a quantitative hCG test cost without insurance? TestWell charges $26.99 — vs $49 at Quest Direct and $80-$200 at hospital outpatient labs. Quest or Labcorp draw, results in 1-2 days. ### Do I need to fast? No fasting required. Can be drawn any time of day. ### What hCG level confirms pregnancy? Any value above 5 mIU/mL is suggestive of pregnancy. Above 25 confirms it. In a healthy pregnancy, hCG roughly doubles every 48-72 hours through ~10 weeks gestation. ### What's the CPT code? 84702 (hCG, quantitative). HSA/FSA eligible. ### Why might my hCG not be doubling? Slow-rising or plateauing hCG can indicate ectopic pregnancy, threatened miscarriage, or a non-viable pregnancy. See an OB/GYN promptly for an ultrasound — quantitative hCG numbers alone don't diagnose; ultrasound localization does. ## How to order 1.
