When you are pregnant the level of hCG increases and usually doubles every two to three days. It then reaches a maximum level by the second or third month of pregnancy, followed by a decrease occurring in the third trimester.
Here are typical hCG Beta values in pregnant women up to 22 days post-retrieval (DPR) or days post-ovulation (DPO).
DPR or DPO Amount of hCG in mIU/ml
10 5 - 50
12 10 - 100
14 20 - 200
16 40 - 400
18 70 - 800
20 140 - 1600
22 180 - 3200
Here are the hCG Beta values given by the number of weeks after ovulation:
after the 1st week and 2 days 5.0 to 50.0 mUI/ml
Between 1st and 2nd week 5.0 to 500.0 mUI/ml
Between 2nd and 3rd week 100.0 to 5,000.0 mUI/ml
Between 3rd and 4th week 500.0 to 10,000.0 mUI/ml
Between 4th and 5th week 1,000.0 to 50,000.0 mUI/ml
Between 5th and 6th week 10,000.0 to 100,000.0 mUI/ml
Between 6th and 8th week 15,000.0 to 200,000.0 mUI/ml
Between 8th and 12th week 10,000.0 to 100,000.0 mUI/ml
Note: The levels of hCG for pregnant women with twins or more are usually higher than the values above, which represent the typical values for just one baby.

The 1st day of my last period was Nov.5th. My ob think I o'd around Nov.19th. And I'm due Aug.12th 07. (5weeks 6days today YAY)
My hcg levels were as follows: (11/28/06)10dpo~27 / (12/04/06)15dpo~589 / (12/11/06)22dpo~4985 / (12/13/06)24dpo~8421.
These numbers vary by such a wide range so its hard to say what will be determined to be normal for you. But I listed a site below to compare your numbers to. Congrats and loads of sticky dust to you.

Considering that the number vary from woman to woman at times, that number can't be used to to guess your fetus' age. But from calculations, you are about 7 weeks along (but I'm not a Dr, so don't take my word for it).
You will have an ultrasound later on, and that will be the best tool to approximate the fetus' age.

as long as your numbers are doubling, you should be fine, everyone has a different number. i would only worry if they arent doubling, so wait until you get the next one which should be in 2 days and see what those numbers are so you have something to compare it too
