At 5 weeks pregnant HCG levels would usually be approximately 2,580-6,530; the average for women during week 5 is 4,090. HCG is what a lot of women call the pregnancy hormone and stands for Human Chorionic Gonadotropin. This hormone is what is detected when you take a pregnancy test and from this small amount of about 30-50, which is detected at the start, it will rise to a massive 85,000-115,000 by week 42.
Try not to get too fixated on what your reading is and what it should be. If the reading were a little high or lower than what is expected, the doctor would either keep an eye on it or do some further tests if it appeared to be an issue. Generally, this is something that would be picked up on if it appeared to be a result of an underlying problem.
The HCG level experienced is very dependent on the individual and they can vary quite a lot from person to person. Levels are not generally anything to worry about unless a medical professional informs their patient. HCG levels change very rapidly and even a couple of days can make a big difference, so worrying with one reading which may be off the 'usual' scale is not necessary. It is likely that it will catch up to average within a couple of days.
If HCG level does not return to average after a few days it can be indicative of problems arising; this is why HCG levels are checked regularly. In this case different tests would be done to examine whether or not there is an issue. It could be something as insignificant as having the dates wrong; so the best advice, don't worry but if you are, talk to your GP!
