What Does The Result Showing "abnormal And Didn't Match My Pregnancy Hormone Levels" Indicate?

My papers said that my hch level was 27000 and normal for me supposing to be 9 weeks but they had to do a vaginal ultra sound and I have no idea what they heard or saw but according to the doctors it was abnormal and didn't match my pregnancy hormone levels. Why does this mean please ?!

Hello and welcome to HCM,
HCG levels are elevated during pregnancy.
The levels of beta-HCG rise during pregnancy and double every 24 hours during early pregnancy.
The levels of beta-HCG rise abnormally in certain conditions.
High levels of beta-HCG are seen in molar pregnancy.
Molar pregnancy is one in which the trophoblastic tissue undergoes neoplastic growth and the fetus does not develop.
Molar pregnancy is of two types- partial and complete.
In partial mole there is partial development of fetus and in complete mole there is complete development of molar pregnancy only and no development of fetus.

However, this just one possibility.
A molar pregnancy can be picked up on ultrasound.
If molar pregnancy is present, it will show up on ultrasound.
Consult your gynecologist for further management.

Thanks and take care
