A member asked:
My hcg at 5w5d (evening) was 22,000. i am concerned that this indicates down syndrome. are high hcg levels in early pregnancy an indicator of ds?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Definitely not: this does not mean Downs, nothing suggests Down's at 5 weeks. The 22,000 is pretty normal. Good wishes.
