	Answer by Dr Rowena S, MD (doctor) on Sat 25, Jul 2009 08:26pm: Hi, How are you? Human Chorionic Gonadotrophin (hCG) is a hormone secreted from the placenta and helps maintain a viable pregnancy. To be confident that a pregnancy is present a serum hCG concentration greater than 25 U/L is needed. In your case, a further sample in 1 - 2 days is suggested for confirmation. During the first weeks of pregnancy serum concentrations rise rapidly with a doubling time of about 2 days. The peak hCG concentration is reached between 8 and 12 weeks gestation. Other than pregnancy, trophoblastic or other germ cell tumours should be ruled out. Have this evaluated further by your doctor for proper management. Take care and best regards.
