Hi all,

Just a quick poll.... what where your first 3 HCG levels w/ your twin pregnancies?  I'm a mom of 2 beautifull DD's and just went through FET...

They transferred 2 embies.  And these were my first blood draws:

131

878

4831

Freaking out.

    I agree, results vary.  But for me, I more than quadrupled when my numbers should have doubled!!

    That is what you are doing....but dont count on anything yet.

    Betas can't predict multiples. That being said, my betas were higher and rose quicker with the twins than with DS. My beta at 15dp3dt with a singleton was in the mid 500's. With the twins my beta at 15dp3dt was 1663. It is really difficult to compare with your numbers and doubling times because you didn't say when your blood draws were. Have you been on betabase.info? You can compare your numbers with other singleton, twin, etc pregnancies. When you transfer two embryos you always have a chance of multiples so I wouldn't be surprised if you are looking at twins. I have seen ladies transfer two embryos and have one split, but that is rare. Good luck at your u/s!

    I only had one done before my first u/s and it was 7990 which wouldve placed me at 7-8 weeks when I was really only 5 when it was drawn. Every pregnancy is different and numbers can be and will be different with each as well. When is your u/s?

    You are going to find that every woman on here was different. You won't know until you have an ultrasound. But, congratulations either way! :)

    This! GL!

    HCG levels do not predict multiples.

     

    Mine were actually on the low side and didn't double in 48 hours....

    My blood draws were:

    2/11:  131

    2/14:  848

    2/18: 4831

    So each time there more than doubled.  Ultrasound is scheduled for tomorrow.  Just nervous b/c I already have a 3.5 and 1.5 at home! :)

    615 at 14dpIUI and 1280 at 16dpIUI.  So they started off high but doubled normally.  My nurse did make a comment that it could be more than one, although obviously we had higher chances since we did FSH with IUI and I had 3 mature follies.

    This. I only had one blood draw though because they just used it to make sure I was pregnant. It was 125.

    Not knowing when these were drawn I can't really compare my numbers.  Mine are in my siggy... I only had two; 14DPO/IUI and 16DPO/IUI.

    Yes, knowing how many days past ovulation would help on your numbers.

     Mine was 488 for my first draw at 14dpo.  We transferred three embryos.  

    At 18dpo, it was 2500, which more than quadrupled.  We only did the two betas.
