What does the quant blood tests show if you are pregnant?

Quantitative blood tests for pregnancy measure the level of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in the blood. If you are pregnant, these tests typically show elevated levels of hCG, which can double approximately every 48 to 72 hours in early pregnancy. The specific hCG levels can help assess the viability of the pregnancy and determine gestational age. Low or declining levels may indicate potential complications, such as a miscarriage or ectopic pregnancy.
