With TVS, an early gestational sac should be seen at a β-h CG level of 1500 to 2000 m IU/ml (Third International Standard).
For patients with lower titers, the β-h CG should double within 48 hours.5), and large subchorionic bleeds have all been associated with an increased risk of first-trimester pregnancy loss.
