determining how far along Posted: 05-20-08 22:30pm
I had my last menstrual period on 4/25.
They have been a bit irregular over the
past year (came off depo). On 4/17 I went
for a blood test and it was negative. On
5/17 I took a home pregnancy test and it
showed positive so I went for a blood test
to confirm. The blood test came back
positive with an HCG of 50. How far along
am I and how accurate are the HCG levels?

I don' t know if you can tell from how
high the HCG levels are. A lot of
people's are different: some can't take a
pregnancy test and have it work because
their HCG levels are low, but they are
pregnant, while others at the same point
in time in pregnancy can take a test and
have it work: I think it depends on the
person.
Usually you ovulate 2 weeks before your
period. In this case just put your
guestimate at the middle of the two dates.
It will put you pretty close. When you
go in for an ultra sound, they should be
able to give you a pretty accurate due
date/conception date.
