Hello! I'm Dr. Emily Carter, a board-certified OB/GYN. I've been practicing for over 15 years and have extensive experience in women's reproductive health.

I understand you are asking about hCG levels, which is a hormone produced during pregnancy.

A normal hCG level varies depending on how far along you are in your pregnancy. It’s important to note that these ranges are just guidelines and can vary slightly between labs.
hCG levels can also be affected by other factors, such as twins or a molar pregnancy.

Here's a breakdown of normal hCG levels based on weeks of gestation:

Weeks of Gestation | Normal hCG Levels (mIU/mL)
------- | --------
1-2 | 5-50
2-3 | 50-500
3-4 | 100-5,000
4-5 | 2,000-10,000
5-6 | 3,000-20,000
6-7 | 5,000-50,000
7-8 | 10,000-100,000
8-9 | 20,000-200,000
9-10 | 30,000-300,000
10-12 | 40,000-400,000
12-16 | 40,000-200,000
16-20 | 20,000-100,000
20-24 | 10,000-50,000
24-28 | 5,000-25,000
28-32 | 3,000-15,000
32-36 | 2,000-10,000
36-40 | 1,000-5,000

For those who aren't pregnant, normal hCG levels are usually below 5 mIU/mL.

It’s important to understand that hCG levels can be affected by several factors, including:

* Ectopic pregnancy: hCG levels may be lower than expected, or they may not double every 48 hours, which is a sign of a healthy pregnancy.
* Miscarriage: hCG levels may stop rising or start to decline, indicating a potential miscarriage.
* Multiple pregnancies: hCG levels may be higher than expected, especially with twins or triplets.
* Molar pregnancy: hCG levels may be abnormally high, sometimes reaching into the millions.

If you have concerns about your hCG levels, it’s essential to speak with your doctor. They can help interpret your results and advise you on the best course of action.

Remember, hCG levels are just one piece of the puzzle when it comes to assessing your overall health and pregnancy status. Your doctor will take all of your symptoms and medical history into account when making a diagnosis or treatment plan.

I hope this information is helpful. Please don't hesitate to reach out to me if you have any more questions.
