I'm really worried because I took the ipill about 20 hours after having unprotected sex back in April, but now I've taken a pregnancy test twice, and both times it's come back positive.

I've got my beta hCG value at 149,449 during 6 weeks and 6 days, and my early scan at 4 weeks and 3 days showed a gestational sac and yolk sac. The doctor said to come back on the 20th for a heartbeat check. I'm worried if my hCG level is too highcould that be a problem? Any advice?
