starting to panic

At 14 DPO, the average HCG level is 48 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 17-119 mIU/ml.

At 17 DPO, the average HCG level is 132 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 17-429 mIU/ml.

a calculator on a different site figured my levels to be doubling at a rate of 24 hours.

What can a high hCG level mean?
A high level of hCG can also mean a number of things and should be re-tested within 48-72 hours to evaluate changes in the level. A high hCG level can indicate:

Miscalculation of pregnancy dating
Molar pregnancy
Multiple pregnancy

We can cross the first one off because there was only one time in the range where I could have gotten pregnant and it happened to be about 30 minutes before I ovulated. Conception is pretty well pinpointed. The other two have me a little concerned.
