Is it normal for your HCG level to be less than 5 the week before and then jump to 1523 the next week?

Yes, it can be normal for HCG levels to fluctuate significantly in early pregnancy. A level less than 5 typically indicates a non-pregnant state, while a sudden rise to 1523 the following week suggests a possible early pregnancy or a recent loss, as HCG levels generally double every 48 to 72 hours in a healthy early pregnancy. It’s essential to follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and monitoring.
