A member asked:
I am currently pregnant after multiple miscarriages. i tested my hcg at 5 weeks 3 days pregnant and it was 16,557. is this an indication of a possible chromosomal abnormality, such as down syndrome?

HCG level is not good test for diagnosing Down syndrome. Mother's blood can be tested as it contains small amounts of fetal DNA.
