What is the hCG level at 2 weeks of pregnancy?

The hCG level at 2 weeks of pregnancy is typically between 50 and 500 IU/L. At this stage, hCG levels rise rapidly with gestational age, approximately doubling every two days, and can be accurately measured through blood tests. If hCG levels are abnormally low, fail to double, or are accompanied by abdominal pain and bleeding, prompt medical consultation is recommended.

After conception, the fertilized egg implants into the uterine lining and the placenta begins to secrete hCG. At 2 weeks pregnant, which is still early in pregnancy, hCG secretion gradually increases but has not yet reached its peak. The normal reference range during this period is 50–500 IU/L, although slight individual variations may occur due to differences in implantation timing.

hCG levels not only help confirm pregnancy, but their growth trend can also reflect embryonic development. If the hCG level is below 50 IU/L at 2 weeks of pregnancy, it may indicate poor embryonic development or ectopic pregnancy. If the level is excessively high, conditions such as molar pregnancy should be considered, and further evaluation is necessary for accurate diagnosis.

During pregnancy, maintain a regular sleep schedule and avoid staying up late, eat a balanced diet with adequate folic acid supplementation, avoid strenuous exercise and excessive fatigue, maintain emotional stability, pay attention to bodily changes, and attend routine prenatal checkups as advised by your doctor to monitor the health of both mother and baby.
