Hi! Anyone remember how quickly their HCG doubled in early pregnancy? Mine was 155 at 14 dpo and 477 at 16 dpo! My progesterone at 16 dpo was 28. Obviously know this is an indicator of twins. I had a 20 mm and 14 mm follicle when I triggered and was assured that the 14 mm had very, very small chances of maturing/fertilizing. I had a twin pregnancy that ended in a very late loss and am just not ready mentally and emotionally to go through that again. I'm scared.
My hcg was just over 2000 14 dpo and almost 5000 16 dpo. My progesterone was 59 but I was supplementing. So sorry for your losses. I'm 18 weeks with twins after a loss in April. It's scary. Inhale courage, exhale fear.
I'm so sorry to hear about your loss, I can't imagine. My levels are in my siggy but if your on mobile (I did ivf) 10dp5dt: 700 then 14dp5dt: 1,406. They were pretty sure that it was twins just from the first hcg result. T&P to you for a smooth pregnancy!
Thanks everyone! AshB62, I know the actual HCG # isn't an indicator of twins, but the fact that mine tripled in 48 hours seems to be a sign. I used one of those website calculators and it shows that mine had a doubling time of 29 hours. Yikes. Just a rough road to go down again, and definitely not happy that I was assured it wouldn't happen.
Sounds like your numbers are doubling which is a really great sign of a healthy pregnancy. Whether or not it's twins - you'll have to wait until your ultra sound.
I triggered with 1 mature follicle (at 18mm or something like that) and 2 not quite mature(12 and 14 mm). I was still nervous to trigger with 2 almost mature follicles so I took a 1/2 dose of the trigger shot. Obviously I'm here so one (probably the 14 mm) matured a bit more and released an egg as well because I'm here and have fraternal boys.
My first beta a 15dpiui was 151 and my progesterone was 38.9. My betas didn't quite double in 48 hours - it was 285 on 9/5. It just barely doubled 2 days later on 9/7 and was 573.
My HCG was 2061 at 14 days past transfer, it kept doubling from there. My progesterone fluctuated so I had to take larger dose of progesterone in oil injection.
At 14dpo my beta was 435 at 18dpo it was 2326, not sure about progesterone, our RE said it was over the needed number so they weren't worried. Good luck, I hope this is your rainbow!!! (I pray our twins are our rainbow after a loss in April)
My betas r in my sig... I think they were 67 at 13dpiui & 1170 at 17dpiui. I might be remembering somewhat wrong. My progesterone was super high at 80 & 120 or something like that, but I ovulated 3-4 follies. I agree with PP don't borrow worry.. And embrace the joy of great betas.
