Hi! Anyone remember how quickly their HCG doubled in early pregnancy? Mine was 155 at 14 dpo and 477 at 16 dpo! My progesterone at 16 dpo was 28. Obviously know this is an indicator of twins. I had a 20 mm and 14 mm follicle when I triggered and was assured that the 14 mm had very, very small chances of maturing/fertilizing. I had a twin pregnancy that ended in a very late loss and am just not ready mentally and emotionally to go through that again. I'm scared.
Re: HCG and Progesterone in Early Twin Preg?
From my sig: 9dp5dt = 344 and 16dp5dt = 4822 (not sure about progesterone)
I am so sorry about your loss. I can imagine the fear you feel. I wish you all the best with your pregnancy whether one or two.

Twin girls! 3/6/14
I triggered with 1 mature follicle (at 18mm or something like that) and 2 not quite mature(12 and 14 mm). I was still nervous to trigger with 2 almost mature follicles so I took a 1/2 dose of the trigger shot. Obviously I'm here so one (probably the 14 mm) matured a bit more and released an egg as well because I'm here and have fraternal boys.
My first beta a 15dpiui was 151 and my progesterone was 38.9. My betas didn't quite double in 48 hours - it was 285 on 9/5. It just barely doubled 2 days later on 9/7 and was 573.
Trying since Jan 2011. Unexplained IF.
2 IUIs = BFN.
1 IVF (Dec 2013) = BFN.

No periods due to 17 years of ballet and distance running after college. Zero response to 2 months of Clomid, little response to Letrozole. IUI left with 9 cysts = too many viable eggs due to age. On to IVF. Low dose of all meds still produced 37 mature eggs 12.6.11. Froze due to overstimulation.
