Finding out you're potentially pregnant is exciting! At 2 weeks pregnant (calculated from the first day of your last period, often before implantation), your HCG levels are just starting to rise if fertilization occurred around ovulation. You likely won't even get a positive home pregnancy test yet!
But what *about* HCG levels at this early stage? Well, they're typically very low, often below 5 mIU/mL. A blood test might detect a *slight* elevation, but it's usually too early to confirm pregnancy definitively. Don't panic if it's negative! It simply might be too early.
Remember, HCG levels double approximately every 48-72 hours in early pregnancy. So, if you're concerned, repeat the test in a few days. Monitoring HCG levels becomes more relevant later to ensure a healthy pregnancy progression. For now, focus on taking care of yourself and waiting for that stronger positive!
