I had blood work done to confirm I'm pregnant because I've had no symptoms and I was really concerned. The nurse said my number was 93,600. What exactly does that mean? Does the high number mean I'm further along?
It likely means you are 7-8 weeks pregnant. Was your LMP 7-8 weeks ago? If not, then really high numbers too early can mean ectopic pregnancy. (from what I've heard/read). Definitely not trying to scare you, but what did your doctor say about the numbers? Are you having a follow up? or an ultrasound? With numbers that high they would likely see something on the ultrasound.

Not necessarily true, hcg level usually rises slowly with an ectopic.
OP, without knowing how far along you are, we have no idea what numbers mean. With lose levels, an ultrasound is the best way to determine anything.

My levels are doubling every 4 days and yesterday they were 786- and we actually got a heartbeat on the ultrasound! I know this sounds crazy and I can hardly believe it myself. Baby measured 5 weeks 6 days with heartbeat @ 117 bpm! Doctor says my levels are rising and sometimes you can get a heartbeat when levels are that low. I go back next Monday for another ultrasound. Has anyome ever heard of anything like this?
They did schedule me for an ultrasound on Monday to check thugs out. I just hope everything looks good. I was questioning my HPT because I don't feel pregnant at all and have has no symptoms, it's very strange. This is however my first so I guess I don't know what to expect. Thanks ladies for all your help.
Re: What does the HCG number mean?
Holy Cow! When was your LMP? Your HCG is super high! I think your farther along if that's the case! GL!
hCG levels in weeks from LMP (gestational age)* :
