To read an hCG report, first identify the hCG levels in the report, measured in mIU/mL. Normal ranges vary: non-pregnant women usually have less than 5 mIU/mL, early pregnancy (3 weeks) could show 5-50 mIU/mL, and later stages have higher levels. Compare the numbers with standard ranges provided by your healthcare provider to understand the pregnancy stage or health condition.
