Brief Answer: Yes. It is normal. Detailed Answer: Hello, Thanks for trusting us with your health concern. Normal beta-HCG levels in early weeks (after conception) are as follows: 1) 0-1 week > 0-50 mIU/ml 2) 1-2 weeks > 40-300 mIU/ ml 3) 3-6 weeks > 500-6000 mIU/ ml and so on (Peak level on 8 weeks). Generally, beta-HCG level will double every 30-72 hrs. At 6 weeks of pregnancy, the HCG levels are expected to rise to double in around 48 hours. This report is normal and is suggestive of a normal viable pregnancy. Please do not worry. Please feel free to discuss further. I will be glad to answer the follow up queries that you have. Wishing you good health. Regards. Dr. Rakhi Tayal.

Brief Answer: The rise is in normal range. Detailed Answer: Hello. Thanks for writing again. It is a rise of 180mIU in 22 hours. This is within the normal range as compared to your levels at 6 weeks (1790). Please do not worry. You can repeat the levels after two days to check the doubling time. Hope my answer is helpful.
