Guideline to hCG levels during pregnancy:

hCG levels in weeks from LMP (gestational age)* :

    * 3 weeks LMP: 5 - 50 mIU/ml
    * 4 weeks LMP: 5 - 426 mIU/ml
    * 5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml
    * 6 weeks LMP: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml
    * 7 - 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml
    * 9 - 12 weeks LMP: 25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml
    * 13 - 16 weeks LMP: 13,300 - 254,000 mIU/ml
    * 17 - 24 weeks LMP: 4,060 - 165,400 mIU/ml
    * 25 - 40 weeks LMP: 3,640 - 117,000 mIU/ml
    * Non-pregnant females: <5.0 mIU/ml
    * Postmenopausal females: <9.5 mIU/ml

* These numbers are just a GUIDELINE-- every woman’s level of hCG can rise differently. It is not necessarily the level that matters but rather the change in the level.

It looks like you're closer to 5 or 6.....

Dont worried about the Levels #. The good thing is that they are high and if they dlb that even greater!! They are just "guidelines". You doc will go by your LMP. and a u/s will confirm your due date. take it ez. ANd Congr!!

If you're levels are that high...then something is really good down there in your belly. I'm not a doctor, but the higher the numbers (and as they continue to increase daily) it's a really good sign!
Call your doc if you are concerned.
But...it looks good to me...Again...not a doc though....

Good luck and I'm sure you're fine...

if your LMP was 11/7 that would put you at 5 weeks yesterday (they go from last period, not conception) - so your number is just slightly higher than the guidelines.  So you should be fine, that is a nice strong number.  ARe they repeating your test in 2 days to see if it is doubling?  That is the most important thing.  Just relax and congrats!

Wow your numbers are high, but that's not a bad thing.  Are you on any fertility meds?  I was just wondering if there was a chance of multiples.  Blessings to you...and keep us posted.
