A member asked:
Are hcg levels measured from last menstrual period or from date of conception?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neither: HCG is a hormone and is measured like a chemical. A level below 5 is not consistent with pregnancy and level above 25 indicates pregnancy. In-between these two values warrants repeating the test in a week or so. See this site for more info. http://americanpregnancy.org/while-pregnant/hcg-levels/
