Ladies who remember their HCG Levels

Sept1799 · June 2011

So twins run in the family and I know that I could always have twins. I am pg and going to the doc to get the blood results to the HCG levels. I was wondering do you remember yours early in yoru pg? What were they? When your doc told you did he said it was a good chance you were carring more than one baby?

Here I go again....

No blood test can test for twin pregnancy - the only way to tell is with an u/s. High beta doesn't always mean twins and low beta doesn't always mean singletons.

That being said, my beta was 16po and it was 1001. My doctor said it was just an indicator that I was pregnant with at least one baby (we transferred 3 embies). In fact, even at our fist u/s at 5weeks, they only saw 1 sac.

Sorr if this question is asked a lot....

I think you are way past the time frame to get an idea from beta numbers. Usually the first beta done at 14dpo (or 4 wk pregnant) will give you an idea. After a week...all betas start getting pretty high (single or twins) and at some point I think everything evens out....and the range of numbers is just too broad to tell.

Look in the FAQ's at the top of the page - there's a thread about HCG levels.

For me - my 13dpiui number was 239, and at 16dpiui it was 660ish I think. I asked the nurse if she thought it was indicative of multiples and she said she thought it was just a strong singleton....but I had a feeling it was twins. I was right!

google betabase and you'll find a lot of numbers and statistics.

FWIW, mine were 311 at 14DPT, and 689 (or something like that) at 16DPT.

At 14dpo mine was only 105 so you definitely can't base twins off of hcg numbers!

Congrats on your pg!

My betas are in my siggy.

Mine are in my siggy..I did do IVF so we knew there could be a chance of multiples...one...or none. My doc never mentioned that my high beta could mean multiples.

Mine are in siggy

Gongrats on your pregnancy!

Like pp's have said, HCG #'s won't indicate multiple pregnancies, the only way to know is to have an ultrasound done. My #'s are in my siggy.

Did you have hcg levels taken with your last pregnancy? This is probably a better guess (though I wouldn't take it to the bank) of how many you are carrying than anything that we will tell you, as they vary more by person than anything. My levels with twins were nearly twice when I was carrying a singleton. My RE never said anything about twins (though we knew it was possible since we transferred 2), until we saw them on the u/s...

singleton: 14dpo: 104, 17dpo: 490, 24dpo: 3764

twins: 14dpo: 197, 17dpo: 480, 24dpo: 7078

14DPO-309

16DPO-643

21DPO-OVER 6000

The nurses said there was a good possibility I was carrying twins, but that they'd seen much higher beta's with singletons and much lower with twins/trips. I wouldn't put much stock in hcg for determining twins. The u/s is the only way to know for sure. GL!

My levels are in my siggy. I don't think they were all that shockingly high and definitely didn't quite double every time. Yet, there were 2 babies on the u/s, so you can't really tell from a beta whether or not you are having twins.

Mine was 40 at 3w 4d and my progesterone was "good and healthy" but no number. Nobody remotely suspected multiples until we saw them on the u/s screen. I was terrified that there was nothing going on because the number was low.

DoingItRight · June 2011

Mine was 14dpo 528 and 16dpo 1500+

Lithgirl · June 2011

Twins run in my family too but I was still surprised to find out I was/amm expecting two!

14dpo: 455

17 dpo: 2100

Also, on my first appt at 14 dpo my progesterone was "very high"...the nurse wouldn't tell me the exact number, only that it was over 40. I just knew once she told me that that I was going to have twins!

Mine went from 237 at 8d post 5 day transfer to over 2400 4 days later. These were way off the charts according to beta base, but my RE said they weren't abnormally high. I found out later I have triplets, but the doc still insisted that betas don't really indicate anything other than the confirmation of a strong early pregnancy.
