Please read...you may be able to help..
I am freaking out right now and I am not even sure if I need to be. I thought you ladies maybe could help me. I went for my first beta on Tuesday at rsofny. They called to tell me that my hcg levels were 685. When I looked this up, it fell within the normal range.
I went back today and the nurse said I had to come back right away for a sono. I asked her why when they originally told me in another 10 days i would have my first. She said that my beta number was very high for where I should be at and that may be a sign of either a tubal pregnancy or something else. So of course I almost pass out right there. The nurse was soo sweet but now I am a nervous wreck. Is 685 really all that high to be about 5 weeks pregnant? I didnt think so.
Originally I thought we got pregnant when I had reached the peak on my monitor which was on December 10th but now I am wondering if maybe we got pregnant on the first shot with only high on the monitor back on December 3rd which would make me further along.
At first i was so excited about this 685 number and now I am so worried something is wrong...anyone have any feedback???

I really don't know much about beta numbers - but if she thinks it is high, maybe there is a possibility of 2?

Honestly, that number does not sound that high to me. On 16 dpo (at 4 weeks) mine was over 700 and I am perfectly fine with one healthy love bug in my belly.
Beta Base is a wonderful website that will help put your mind at ease.

Re: Please read...you may be able to help..
these numbers have always confused me. i have been told that different labs have different scales so the numbers sometimes mean very little out of context.
i have read that high numbers can indicate 2 and extremely high numbers can indicate an ectopic pregnancy.
i hope everything is okay, and to ease your mind you may just want a clarification of what the numbers indicate on what type of scale.
