Very High HCG Levels

[MrsGordon524]

Last Monday I had my first HCG blood test. Based on my LMP I should have been 5 weeks. My results came back at 8015. That Thursday (3 days later) I tested again and my levels were 18037. Are my numbers too high? Could I possibly be having multiples? I have never had any type of fertility treatments. Last summer I had 2 miscarriages back to back and my levels were never higher than 900 and they never doubled. I have also had 2 miscarriages after 20 weeks which means I will be having a cerclage as well. I am so nervous, but very optimistic because at least my numbers are doubling. In the ultrasound the doctor could only see a sac but he said it looks healthy. Do you think he's just trying to make me feel better?

no they seem fine.  remember women can vary with their numbers as long as they are rising.  congrats.

i am only 4 weeks and had my first one and it was 46 then 3 days later it jumped to 214, which is way more than double.  we must just be on the quicker scale of things.

My levels at 6+1 (according to scan) were 21898 and 36 hours later were 28544. Docs said this was very high but defo a good sign. Congrats

Hi!  I think we're in the same boat.  Last July 21 (Mon), I was at 4 weeks 6 days from LMP and my HCG levels were at 4,885.  3 Days later, July 24 (thu), my HCG levels were at 14,342.  I was really concerned because the HCG levels seem pretty high compared to the averages I've seen on the internet, but my doc said that I'm having a healthy pregnancy even when i do get cramps and occassional spotting.

Does anyone know of someone who's had those high hcg levels and had perfectly healthy babies? =)  

I'm curious how you're doing now since it looks like we have the same HCG count...  =)

I wouldn't count it out yet. At four weeks one day which actually would of been five weeks one day (they changed my due date later on) my Hcg was 8395 and I am indeed carrying twins. Now it is very possible to have numbers that high and not be but just wanted you to know there is a chance. I am currently 11 weeks and everything is looking great
