Hcg levels??

   ok so i never found out with my girls about levels etc.. i just knew apparently they were about right.

So, today i got my results back. everything is ok, apart from the fact that... my Hcg level is 43,078.5.

At 6 wks, the level is usually 15,000 approx. around 8 weeks it is 45,000.

At the time I had my bloods done i would have been - going by my LMP dates, about 6 wks and 2 days thereabouts. so it should have been around the 15,000 mark, not 43,000ish

the doctor said tonight that more than likely i am just further ahead than i thought, ie i was about nearly 8 weeks when i had the bloods done, not 6.. How can that be, I know when my last period started - it was valentines day.. (that sucked!) but anyway. I do not think i can be that far along - that would make me about 9 weeks now instead of 7 weeks.

Has anyone else had higher levels. I am pretty sure of my dates but the Hcg levels at that point would have been double or more what it should have. My cycles had been a bit back and forth for a couple of months before-hand, but i know that my last period was normal - not implantation or anything like that. It was a completely normal 8 day period.

I hear you all now saying TWINS. and still i did not get referred for an early scan. Definately will be talking to my midwife and seeing what she thinks. either way, even if i have to pay for it myself. I might go get one done. It's bugging me now.
