high hcg level
I recently had a miscarriage on October 17. Since then I have had blood tests every week to ten days to monitor my hcg levels. On November 17 my hcg level had dropped to 7. I repeated the test on November 28 and my level was over 6000. I know an increase would mean that i am pregnant again, but isn't 6000 extremely high? What could such a high number mean? I have an ultrasound in a week, but am going crazy thinking about it until than.
Hello, it turns out there must have been a lab error in a prior test. an ultrasound confirmed that i am pregnant with twins. so far it seems everything is ok

Lab error is not unheard of in this forum...several posters have had it happen. The other possibility is a molar pregnancy, but those numbers don't fit the profile.
all of the units of measurements were the same. i am having another blood test tomorrow to rule out lab error. maybe i have worried myself for nothing.
