How is everyone getting all these HGC level readings? They never told me any levels...is this something they don't usually tell you until your first appointment? I just went for a urine test and they did a 1 hr glucose and drew 4 vials of blood last week, but even my files online don't list the levels, just say positive...I'm going for an orientation visit tomorrow and will ask...just seems strange I've never gotten any numbers and every on here has so many!
This is a website w/ HCG numbers for single & twin pregnancies. 15 Days past ovulation: 198.5 17 Days past ovulation: 264 19 Days past ovulation: 338 22 Days past ovulation: 986.9
We confirmed heart beat at 6 weeks 1 day pregnant w/ a single by u/s. My HCG numbers were not normal & not doubling but I am pregnant. These are odd HCG numbers and nurse said could be due to both embryos planting and then one not making it which initially gave me a high first HCG number.
It's a little higher than average for singles and lower than average for twins. Everyone is different; all that is important is that your doctor is happy your numbers are moving in the right direction.
(I'm trying to learn the lingo here but) Mon was my first visit and blood draw and I was at 21,343 and today's is 35,700. I'm 6wk2d today (32 dpo). I've been pouring over numbers as well and think I just need to wait until the official ultrasound next Wed. They did a vaginal Monday and all she saw was the sac. Come on Wednesday!!
I had blood test draw on Nov. 7th....right at 5 weeks I think. HCG was 9266, but Progesterone was super low at 4.5, so dr immediately started me on 200mg pills 2x a day. I go for an ultrasound next week...6 week mark. Not sure if/when dr will perform another blood draw.
5w4d betas came back 10,501 is that really high? Could I be expecting twins?!
Betas will not define whether it is a singleton multiple pregnancy. My betas were on the lower end (not super low but not super high either) and I am having twins. You just won't know until the u/s

Thanks! I had a US today and there's one little blueberry with a strong heartbeat! I'm excited now!
OB thinks I'm about 4/5 weeks given I got pregnant after my 1st miscarriage in late Sept. 4/5 wks: 13,950 Hcg, 19.5 progesterone So relieved as my first pregnancy I had low progesterone at my first visit and miscarried a few days later. Couldn't be more happy right now! Back for another test tomorrow.
Just an update that my high betas were confirmed twins this week. So I know numbers can definitely vary, but Ladies with high betas who transferred two embryos... Id guess twins!
IVF #1 September 2014 - Transferred one 5-day blast : BFN
FET #1 October 2014 - Transferred two 5-day blasts: BFP!!
@officedronette - I am so sorry they send you back to a scary place, but I am immensely thankful for your jealousy! Finally starting to feel (cautiously) good about this pregnancy!
So I was doing some math and it looks like my betas doubled every 27 hours. Seeing as they "normally" double every 48 hours, are there any risks associated with levels doubling too quickly? Or is that not a thing?
4w4d and mind just came back at 84702. I am officially freaked out, especially considering I had a partial molar last time waiting for a call from my ob.
Eta: just talked to a nurse and the results were "maybe mixed up". I'm in the 3000s, completely within range. Such a relief!! But Considering my history with a partial molar, I'm not amused.

Mine were 787 or something like that at 4 weeks 4 days, and 2009 two days later. I might not remember this exactly. Confirmed one, healthy overachiever lol. :-)

@redaero and @Allisekaylin I just wanted to remind you both kindly to be a little more sensitive - getting betas is nothing to be jealous about, many of the women on this thread have suffered from loss or infertility, or both, and some have lost this pregnancy. Getting a notification from this thread from someone saying how this very stressful process is so interesting, or they are so jealous, can be both hurtful and irritating. Please be mindful of that when posting.
I'm sorry! I wasn't trying to be insensitive! I just had no idea what that stuff was for. I honestly thought I wasn't getting everything done that I needed done.
