In what context were you given this value? I ask because without some more information, it's difficult to tell exactly what you're asking about.
My best guess would be that you're referring to the levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) in either your blood or your urine. hCG is a protein produced by the placenta during pregnancy. Its presence at a certain level in the blood or urine can be an indicator of pregnancy. This is typically how pregnancy tests work:

Even if I'm correctly guessing that you're talking about hCG, ".5 hcg" doesn't say anything about how much is in your blood because there are no units given. So I can't tell if that 0.5 refers to 0.5 ml/dL, 0.5 mIU/L, or something entirely different. If you know the units, you might want to post them here for a better answer. Better yet, ask your doctor exactly what your blood/urine results mean.
No a normal hCG level in non-pregnant women is 0 to 5.
It means you are not pregnant or miscarried. HCG levels under 5 not pregnant. 5 and over pregnant. My HCG level was a 10 and went down to a 3 :(
you're 5 to 6 weeks pregnant
hcg level under 5 means not pregnant anything over 5 means you are
at any value! hcg is a hormone only produced by a pregnant or recently pregnant woman...that is to say is she had a miscarraige she could still be carring the hormone in her body but it will decreases over time instead of increase as it does with a normal pregnancy. Well, I had a miscarriage and the obgyn attending me said that an hcg level of 5 or below is considered a negative reading for a pregnancy. Therefore, once you reach that level, the pregnancy is definitely over.
Every one is different, so there is no set level of how high the hcg hormone should be at 4 weeks. Although the hcg hormore level should be increasing every day.
I think, yes. Usually if hcg <5, then its considered no pregnancy.
The healthy hcg level at 3 weeks is 5 - 50 mIU/ml
Human chorionic gonadotropin, or hCG, is produced during pregnancy. An hCG level of 7000 would indicate a 5 to 6 week gestational age.
If your hormone level drops, it is the primary reason that causes a miscarriage. Most times your HCG levels declining are a sign of an impending miscarriage, your symptoms will stick around until your hormone levels drop down to pre pregnancy level (less than 5). Hormone levels during pregnancy are crucial, because they influence the growth and development of your baby.
Yes. HCG levels between 0-5 are common in non-pregnant women and are considered to be normal.
Anything above an hcg level of 5 is considered pregnant. So, if your level is 4298, you are most definitely pregnant.
