Answer: Hello! Typically, the hCG levels will double every 72 hours. The level will reach its peak in the first 8-11 weeks of pregnancy and then will decline and level off for the remainder of the pregnancy. An hCG level of less than 5mIU/ml is considered negative for pregnancy, and anything above 25mIU/ml is considered positive for pregnancy. Levels are : 3 weeks LMP: 5 – 50 mIU/ml 4 weeks LMP: 5 – 426 mIU/ml 5 weeks LMP: 18 – 7,340 mIU/ml 6 weeks LMP: 1,080 – 56,500 mIU/ml 7 – 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 – 229,000 mIU/ml 9 – 12 weeks LMP: 25,700 – 288,000 mIU/ml 13 – 16 weeks LMP: 13,300 – 254,000 mIU/ml 17 – 24 weeks LMP: 4,060 – 165,400 mIU/ml 25 – 40 weeks LMP: 3,640 – 117,000 mIU/ml Yes, there are chances that you will be able to see the fetal pole after 8 weeks...
