Could high levels of hcg point to down syndrome? mine were around 245, 000 at 9.2 weeks. have had ultrasound and only one baby.

Range for normal HCG: Levels at 9-12 weeks LMP is 25, 700 – 288, 000 miu/ml, so yours is ok. At 11-14 weeks, a skilled ultrasonographer can determine if there is increased fluid under the skin at the base of the fetus' neck, a sign that other screens or diagnostic tests for ds are neeeded. A "quad" test that measures 4 pregnancy hormones screens for increased risk of certain birth defects including ds at 16-18 weeks.
