I am not an expert on hormone levels but depending on when you took your last dose and how you took it, it could be normal or very high. The numbers I have seen indicate a bit over 200 would be normal but if you took your last dose just before walking into the office, that could be low. Without more information it's hard to tell. Don't tel us how much you took, just how and when.

The numbers sound a bit high but if you had food in your stomach, it might be normal. The chart in the link is average numbers so it is possible to be higher or lower. It is possible for a woman to go well above those numbers when she is pregnant so the high levels may be a transition dose which might latter be reduced.
