Hcg levels

Kat

Im 16 weeks pregnant and went to the hospital for a gush of fluid I had they wouldn't test it to see if it was amniotic fluid instead they just listened to the heart beat with a doppler heart beat was strong 160s and then checked my hcg m they told me they was 17000 is this normal for this far along I thought they was sapost to be alot higher? And now I'm worried I haven't had any more gushes of discharge n I'm not bleeding or cramping but I miscarried last may and now I'm just scared
