HCG levels for a twin pregnancy?

Hi guys,
I'm a stranger/visitor to this board buy somewhat of an old pro on the Infertility board. I just had IVF, and we transferred two embryos. Judging by my HCG blood test results, it looks like both of them stuck. I was just curious what #'s you all got (if you were being monitored because of trouble conceiving) and how many babies that turned out to be. My HCG 13 days after my 5 day embryo transfer was over 1,300 and my 16 day post-transfer test showed over 3,500.

I remember when my RE called to congratulate us that we were pg, he said he suspected it would be multiples with high betas (I don't recall the exact #s but I *think* it was a little over 1350 at 13 dp5dt).You'll find some MoMs on here with normal beta ranges and mults and others with high #s and mults--only that first peek via u/s will confirm whether it's 1 or more.
Either way, CONGRATS on your pg--wishing you a h&h 9 months--and hope your first u/s goes well!! Keep us posted!
At 17 DPO my level was 2000; at 19 DPO it was 5178. But a lot of girls on here had low betas so I guess you can never really tell until u/s!
Congratulations and good luck!
BFP Nov 09 - c/p Dec 09
BFP Dec 09 - A&J born in August 2010 at 37w, 6d
BFP Sept 11 - ectopic pregnancy/left tube removed
BFP April 12 - E born December 2012 at 39w, 1d
congrats!
HCG isn't a good indication of twins - there are many on here who had super high levels, and many with low levels. And on SAIF there are tons of singletons with super high levels, too.
Both my pregnancies had similar betas - the only thing that will tell is your US.
Certainly you have a good chance of having 2 in there, since you know you put 2 in (we knew we had 2 follies on IUI day, so we were wondering like you, too).... the waiting is hell- but soon you'll look back and realize how fast it all went
good luck!
Congrats!!
My levels are in my siggy. People here will tell you that levels don't mean anything, but I used follistim and the docs highly suspected from my levels that there was more than one in there.
congrats on your pg!
My 18dpiui was 5188 ! It was originally quads
Sounds like you may have some twins there 
DS - 40W6D - Oct 2004
DS - 41W4D - March 2007
GGG - 33W6D - July 2008
I only had one beta draw, but, at about 10-11dpo my beta was 40. I was skeptical that there was one baby, much less two.
Congrats on your pregnancy, no matter how many are in there and keep us posted!
4 Clomid cycles + 3 IUIs w/ injectables + 1 IVF = 1 m/c, 1 ectopic
FET May 2011 = BFP! Beta 1 (8dp5dt): 336, Beta 2 (12dp5dt): 2033, Beta 3 (14dp5dt): 4706
? So thankful for our little guys, born at 33 weeks. ?

At 13dp5dt mine were 3,000 something. My RE said not definite, but most likely twins. Lo and behold, we have two sticky babies so far!
ETA: congrats on your pregnancy!! I remember you from IF.
5 REs + 3 surgical hysteroscopies for septum/lap + 3 failed IUIs
IVF w/ICSI/AH & acu = BFP!, unexplained spontaneous m/c @ 8w2d (our little girl),
FET w/acu = BFP!, B/G twins!, lost MP @19w, dx w/funneling cervix @20w,
twins nearly lost to IC @21w, saved by rescue cerclage, 17P & 16w of bedrest
Our twins born @36w4d via CS when A came foot first
Thankful for every day
890 at 13dp5dt and 1940 at 15dp5dt. But I know at least two women who had higher levels than me and were pregnant with singletons.
A bit random and not relevant here, but I've read that betas tend to be higher with 3dt than 5dt. Not sure why!
