	Answer by Dr Rowena S, MD (doctor) on Thu 26, Mar 2009 10:26pm: An hCG level of less than 5mIU/ml is considered negative for pregnancy, and anything above 25mIU/ml is considered positive for pregnancy. However, the hCG levels should not be used to date a pregnancy since these numbers can vary so widely. Talk to your doctor about this for proper dating. An ultrasound may also be done to estimate the estimated age of gestation. Detailed answer for your question: Available in paid version. - Click to pay.
