What should hCG be at 18 DPO?

A serum hCG of 556 mIU/mL at 18 days post ovulation (DPO) is normal both for one or two fetuses. You could have twins, but you can’t really tell from the serum hCG value alone. At 18 DPO the serum hCG for singletons is normally between about 70 and 750 mIU/mL, and for twins, it can be between 200 and about 1750 mIU/ml.

Can you get a BFP at 20 DPO?
