HCG Levels at 7 weeks 4 days? How to understand numbers?

[mommy2baby2]

Hi everyone!

I just got my HCG test levels back. I had a blood test yesterday at 7 weeks 4 days and the result was 156,623.32 mIU

When doing a basic search on the internet, they give such a wide range for this time frame, I'm having a hard time understanding what is normal. Based on some charts, for this time it's high, on others, it's normal. Attached is what I received.

My worry is that I'm a little older now and allegedly a higher number means a higher risk of down syndrome. Any experts out there able to tell me what my numbers may mean? I have my ultrasound scheduled soon but until I can talk to anyone, I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Thanks!

One number doesn't mean anything.

My number with my son at 6+5 was about 47,000. So by 7+4 it would have been at or above where you are now. Genetically he has no abnormalities

I know you're worried honey but you can always get tested later on in your pregnancy. Does your doctor seem worried at all?

I've never heard of high HCG meaning abnormalities. Maybe there's more than 1 in there unless your Dr is worried try to relax until scan day
