Tina - this is from a book I've got called Birth, by Catherine Price & Sandra Robinson.

Noraml HCG blood levels vary widely, so be careful when interpreting the numbers. The level itself is not as important as how much it is rising by every few days. Some healthy, normal pregnancies start off with quite low HCG levels.

Guide to normal HCG levels

Week 3 - (7 days after conception) - 0 to 5.
Week 4 - next period (14 days after conception) - 5 to 426.
Week 5 - (21 days after conception) - 18 to 7340.
Week 6 - (28 days after conception) - 1,080 to 56,500.

I hope this brings you some peace of mind.

Celsie - those numbers are why i though for sure i am 1 week further than the drs tell me!
My HCG at 3 weeks 1 day was 200!
BUt i did bleed for 3 weeks which they say was an implantation bleed

Thank you soooo much Celsie. You're such a sweet heart!!! I will keep positive and wait for a huge increase on Wednesday!

I asked Matt exactly what the nurse told him and he said that she definitely said to consider it a BFP but they just want to monitor it to make sure that the HCG is rising.

So at this stage I'm proud to say that I too am up the duff
