I was also 5 weeks and had an hCG of 17,000. I though this was really high and thought I was gonna have twins or something!! I had an ultrasound and there was only one and the doctor said that some pregnancies at 5 weeks can run from 2000 to 20,000 or higher, it varies. I have heard that a high level is a good sign of a very healthy pregnancy with a good implantation. I certainly don't think there is any danger in having such a high level, except you will probably have a lot of pregnancy symptoms (nausea/vomiting, severely tender breasts, and extreme fatigue)
