in 1st Trimester

Hello!

I had back to back IUIs and I am 5 weeks pregnant now.  (thank you so much)  lol.... 

My first HCG was100 @14DPO.....2ND HCG 467 @18DPO.....3RD HCG 1500 @ 21DPO.

 I had 3 follicles..26, 26 and 19.  What are the odds of TWINS!  I am also 36 years old. 

any twins in my future...any beta levels with twins you could tell me about?????

thank you!!!Yes

    HCG levels are not a great indicator of twins or singletons.  Mine are in my siggy but I can't remember the exact DPO they were.

    The only way to know if you're having twins is an ultrasound. Congratulations on your pregnancy.

    I just had my first IUI on sunday so now i'm waiting to see if it worked I had 4 Follicles (scary I know lol)  23,25,24, and 19 but my husbands sperm count was only at 26% so who knows if it will work this time so congrats to you !!!! I heard that a high HCG wasn't a great indicator for twins but could contribute to that ? After your IUI did you have any symptoms right away? were hoping for twins as well but just one healthy kiddo would be just fine!!!! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you

    My beta hcg levels were over 3000 at 20 dpo and over 6000 at 22 dpo, and I've just got one little baby in there.

    I'm pregnant with twins after doing IVF and my first beta was in the 900's and the second was over 2000. I've heared mixed things about the numbers though. You really wont know for sure until your first ultrasound! :) Congrats on the BFP and great betas though!!!

    I had 7 dpt 5 day Beta #110

            9 dpt 5 day Beta #288

           16 dpt 5 day Beta 6708

    US done 6 weeks 2 days confirmed twins.  2 donor e transferred.  My Betas started earlier than most and appeared a bit high but Drs would not confirm until US.

    Good luck
