Vanishing twin syndrome

in Pregnant after a Loss
Has anyone experienced vanishing twin syndrome and know how it affected hcg levels? My levels went up by only a 120 in 48 hrs when they should have doubled so from around 2000 to 4000. I thought for sure I was going to miscarry again or it was ectopic. Went for ultrasound yesterday and baby is measuring at 7 weeks 3 days and heartbeat of 148. Soo surprised! Dr says may have been vanishing twin syndrome. I'm still very nervous cause I had two prior losses this year and one being an identical twin pregnancy.

    No experience, sorry. I know once levels get to certain point they do not double in 48 hours it takes up to 72 hours. Welcome! Good luck!

    I had a vanishing twin, and my hcg got pretty wonky. After that I asked the nurses not to tell me the levels unless there was something really wrong. I wish my doc hadn't kept tracking the hcg, as ultrasound are much more meaningful. Focus on the good scan and don't worry about the rest!!

    Thanks for the responses ladies. My RE is not checking my levels anymore. I have another ultrasound at 10 weeks upon my request because my first miscarriage the twins stopped developing at 8.5 and 9 weeks. I didn't find out until my first ultrasound at 12 weeks.
