A member asked:

Hcg levels say 3 weeks pregnant but my calculations say i should be 5 based on cycle and intimacy. why the difference?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hcg: HCG levels vary in each pregnancy. The important thing is that they are rising appropriately. Your level needs to be repeated in a few days.
