Hello doctor,

My first beta hCG level is 16490 after the 14th day of embryo transfer. Is this high level harmful?

Hi,

Welcome to our portal.

It is really a very short description of your query. It would be better that you send me your gynecology, obstetrics, medical and drug history. This level could be for around six weeks of pregnancy, multiple pregnancies, gestational trophoblastic disease, any tumor, etc. If you have been treated for infertility its possible to have multiple eggs or embryo transfer or division of product of conception that leads to multiple pregnancies that can give this result. Other possibilities of gestational trophoblastic disease or previous history of disease that reappeared or not had treatment properly, etc. Better to have another beta hCG after 48 hours of previous and check an increase in levels and discuss here or with a local gynecologist. It is better to report to early pregnancy unit if tertiary care hospital to trace things nicely. You should have a scan as well after 1 to 2 weeks. In case of bleeding, pain or dizziness imnediately rush to the hospital.

For more information consult an infertility specialist.
