Hi i had my period over 6 weeks ago i missed my last one i went to the doctor and i had a positive urine test. they did some blood work to see how far along i am by my hcg levels. well when it came back they said it was fairly low and im only like 2 weeks. they gave me a estamated due date which when i added it up meant that i was only 2weeks and 2 days pregnant when i got the positive result. is that even posible? i have read alot of things and i dont think that it is even posible to have a positive result by then. can u please let me know if there is any way that i might be further along then i am judged on the hcg levels. my last period was may 30th 2010 i found out i was pregnant on july 13 2010. how could i only be 2 weeks? please give me an answer as soon as u can. it has been weighting on my mind ever since i found out and i just cant shake it. i have my 1st ultrasound on friday july 23rd 2010. i know they will be able to really tell how far along i am i just want some answers now so i can ease my mind. oh and some of my sympoms are some mild cramping in my lower abdomin and sore breast. tyred need to take a nap during the day and hugryer than normal. i know that the cramping is normal and that its just implantation but how can i have them if im only like 3 weeks or less. thank you for ur time and i hope to have my answer soon!

HCG levels can widely vary. So while there is a typical range, low or high may not mean trouble. Sometimes they will do a second hcg test 24 or 48 hours later, to make sure the hcg levels double. If they didnt see a need to do this - that can be somewhat re-assuring. And by the time you'd get that scheduled, and your results back the ultrasound may already be here.
While the second one can tell more, it is also not definite, but the ultrasound typically is. Good luck.
hHCG levels shouldn't measure how far along you are, only because each woman can vary... When I first found out I was PG, I thought I was 6-1/2 weeks. they sent me for an ultrasound and that was reading that I was only 5-1/2 weeksm, which they are telling me my LMP was a week later than it really was... I was totally thrown off by it, but it what the Dr said, so can't go against him.
Wait until you go in to have an ultrasound... those are MUCH more accurate in telilng your EDD than HCG levels
