High HCG Levels

I'm prego and just received a call from the nurse. She indicated that my blood work from Monday which should be week 5/ 2 or 3 days showed abnormally high hcg level - 22152.  I'm supposed to have more blood work tomorrow.  What does this mean.

Had a u/s yesterday it confirmed a sac in the uterus but didn't show any heart activity.  U/S was not vaginal.

Should I be worried?

What could abnormally high hcg levels mean?

I believe that means that it could be twins!!!!

It could also mean a lab error.  Ladies on this forum have written in about getting them.

First thing I thought was twins.

I am going through something similar right now myself.  At 4 weeks, my HCG was 863, when it was supposed to be around 300-400.  Is this something to be concerned about?  Have others had similar levels with healthy pregnancies?  Thanks.

UPDATE  - My hcg blood levels had doubled today so they are now in th 44000 range.

We did an updated u/s and they found heart beat.  Said baby measures 5 weeks 6 days.  I'm still a little worried about the HCG levels being high.

Did anyone else have this high of hcg level at 5 wk 6 days?

No evidence of twins at this time.  Would they be able to tell?
