Understanding Your HCG Levels: Pregnancy Timeline & Interpretation

Question
I am 33 years old, have 3 children. The first day of last menstrual period Approx. august 26 th. My hormone levels were at 4434 on sept 30 2005 What does this mean , how far along

Answer
If your last period started on August 26, then you would have ovulated on September 8 and could have conceived on September 7,8,9, or 10. On September 30 you would be 5 weeks pregnant. HCG values at 5 weeks range from 1000 - 50,000. Therefore, you are within a normal range. Usually HCG values double every 48 hours if it is a viable pregnancy.
