Possible Tripletts and Questions on HCG

OK. So. This is pregnancy #10.. we have two living children.. history of stillbirth, ectopic.. etc.

Last Monday HCG was 754. Friday before that was 218. Yesterday (Monday), 9,294.

I had an U/S last Wednesday at 5w1d that showed three sacs... one less developed than the other two.

I go Thursday for another HCG, and then I have to scheduale another U/S for next week.

Does this seem promising for Twins/tripplets? or is it probable that we will only have one?

I'm incredibly high risk as it is.. so i'm nervous. I need to know the statistics I'm dealing with. :/

EXPECTING 8/11/15! Three SACS!

    Can't really tell you for sure. My RE told me there was a 15% chance one twin would absorb during my early U/S days. The further along you get the better odds you have. Best of luck to you!

    My first u/s at 4w2 days showed two sacs, one less developed than the other. My OB told me there was probably a 50% chance we were pregnant with twins. The next two u/s at 6w1d and 8w4d showed two babies with two heartbeats! So even though it's super hard the only thing you can really do is wait for your next appt. Obviously though your betas and having two well formed sacs sound very promising. Good luck!!

    CLS do you know your dates for the HCG (because I'm literally going insane over here!)

    Waiting is SUPER difficult. I just want to know so badly! :( Mostly, I want to know everything is oKay.

    I would check the doubling time of your betas with betabase. My doubling time between my first and second betas was 17hrs. My first beta was 14, 48hrs later it was 99.

    My first u/s at 7wks showed 2 HBs and I additional sac. The 3rd sac never developed. I had my twins at 32 wks.

    My first beta was drawn 9dp5dt they did a re draw to make sure it doubled 2 days later. The RE followed me 4 additional weeks after that once a week with U/S, progesterone, and beta blood draws. I was discharged from the RE at 8 weeks and my first OB appt was at 9 weeks.

    No periods due to 17 years of ballet and distance running after college.  Zero response to 2 months of Clomid, little response to Letrozole.  IUI left with 9 cysts = too many viable eggs due to age.  On to IVF.  Low dose of all meds still produced 37 mature eggs 12.6.11.  Froze due to overstimulation.  

    FET #1.1 1.22.12 BFN.   FET #1.2 2.22.12=GRACE! (and a vanishing twin).  

    Grace Katherine born 10.25.12 @ 36w6w 6#14oz 19.5".
    FET #1.3 3.2013 BFN FET#1.4 4.2013 BFN. Never tried a fresh transfer.  Let's try, despite 10 still frozen.  
    ER 6.26.13 27 mature eggs, slight overstim. ET   7.1.13 ectopic, FET 2.1  9.10.14   TRIPLETS!!  

    Boys born 3.18.14 @ 29w5d.  Andrew Jack 3#6oz 16", Grant Robert 3#9oz 16", Charles Phillip 3#7oz 17".

    Well I got my answer. I bled on Thursday, went to the ER, and both of the smaller sacs were gone. My numbers went from 9,294 to just over 16,000 in three days.. and we saw one sac.. one fetal pole.. with one flickering heart beat. Glad this baby seems to want to stay, but now i'm nervous about numbers.. and sad the other sac's never developed.
