I'm almost 6 weeks and found out my Hcg level is a little over 22,000. the higher the Hcg level, does that mean your more likely to not have a miscarriage? and is 22,000 high for almost 6 weeks? this is my first pregnancy, n i hear so many miscarriage stories, i dont want anything to happen. thanks.

Yes you can take prenatals even if you arent pregnant. They cant harm you in any way. Its actually better to take them one month before you become pregnant, and during breastfeeding. Good Luck.
and I think that if you have LOW levels, you are at risk for miscarriage, and if the levels are low, that could also be a sign of ectopic pregnancy.
