• Pregnancy Confirmation: Beta-HCG is the primary hormone used to confirm pregnancy. A positive result indicates that you are pregnant.
• Pregnancy Monitoring: The test can help track the progress of early pregnancy, as Beta-HCG levels typically double every 48 to 72 hours in the first few weeks.
• Assessing Pregnancy Health: Abnormal Beta-HCG levels may indicate potential issues, such as ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, or molar pregnancy.
• Other Uses: In some cases, elevated Beta-HCG levels can be associated with certain types of cancer, though this is less common.
