Twins could be a possible reason for the higher than average level. Could the dates be off a bit? That often plays a role as well since there is a wide range in levels that is considered normal. They may do another check on your level and will likely do another ultrasound within a few weeks if they feel the need to check for a possible twin pregnancy.
