I've been hearing quite a few of you had lower betas with your multiples than others in your birth month boards with singletons. So out of curiosity, what was your betas and how many weeks were you?
Updated because I had it wrong the first time. FWIW this woman is already a MoM who is pregnant again. She has had both twins and singletons. She may be concerned she is pregnant with twins again, which I honestly would be if I ever got pregnant again because I know I hyper-ovulate. I'm with you though, I'm always rolling my eyes when people saunter in here expecting us to be like "OMG of course you're totally preggers with multiples!" Those posts get older than old.

I don't see how asking what people's beats are/were is fishy? Is it because I don't post in here all the time? I'm not a big chatter box. If I have a question I can't find out on my own or needs personal experience, like this one, I ask. About 90% of the questions asked can be googled. I'd rather not ask those questions. Since I found out I was pregnant with the twins I have been doing my own research. I didn't have any betas drawn with that pregnancy. But one of the things I came across frequently was that there is a small percentage of women who's betas with their twins was lower at all draws than their singletons. So how does my question sound fishy? I'm asking in this group if any of you experienced that.
