HCG is usually detectable in the blood serum, usually 8 days after conception, of approximately 5 percent of women who are pregnant. Virtually, the rest 95 % of the women will experience its detection at about 11 days after conception. HCG levels rises progressively immediately after conception. The levels double every 30.9 hours on average until they reach 6500 mIU/ml at around the 8th week after your last menstrual period (LMP). After this, the rate of increase is individualized and peaks between 60th and 70th day of last menstrual period.
