Hi doctor,
I am 17 weeks pregnant. As per my quadruple marker screening report, I have 1:283 risk for trisomy 21. My hCG level is coming high in report 130958 mlU/mL. A blood sample is taken at 16 weeks 4 days of gestational age. Please have a look and advise me what to do further. Doctor to whom I was consulting said she would prefer to go for amniocentesis. But, we are not willing to go for the same as the risk of 1:283 is below the cutoff. Please advise.

Thank you doctor,
As per my report, is the beta hCG level really high? Normally at 16 to 17 weeks of gestational age, what should be the hCG value?
