What does a hCG level of 11 mean?

A human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) level of 11 mIU/mL is generally considered low and may indicate an early pregnancy, as hCG is a hormone produced during pregnancy. However, it's important to interpret this level in the context of timing; if it is measured around the time of a missed period, it may still be normal. If the level is tested later with no increase, it could suggest a possible issue, such as a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy. Always consult a healthcare provider for accurate interpretation and guidance.
