I am 3 weeks 5 days I know this because I tracked everything. My doctor wants to do an ultrasound in a week which will put me at 4 weeks 4 days.. He said my hcg levels are high.. At 3 weeks 13dpo 235, 15dpo 706,  17 dpo 1233... They think I am 5-6 weeks by numbers..... Do theses numbers seem high to you.. I have read high numbers can mean multiples. Please share your numbers or experience

    I don't have any experience with multiples, @babyantone1, but those numbers do seem pretty high. That doesn't necessarily mean multiples, though. HGC levels vary wildly from woman to woman. Just as a heads up, we've been talking about HCG levels over on the "Questions and Concerns" thread. There's a link to a really helpful website that compiles HGC data on that thread as well. You may get more of a response over there too. Good luck!

    With my last pregnancy I had hcg level of around 10 thousand at like 6 or 7 weeks. I'm just going off of memory so not exactly sure of specifics.  I remember being really worried about it because I was not where the charts said I would be, rather much higher. Turns out I just had one healthy little girl in there and plenty of healthy morning sickness to go with it.

    When you say you tracked everything, I'm assuming you were temping and did OPKs to confirm your O date?

    My betas were similar to yours. 136 at 12dpo, and 2581 at 19dpo. The nurse didn't say anything about them being unusually high, but I second the suggestion to look at betabase for comparisons. There's so much variation, especially early on, that it's not really possible to determine multiples just based on beta results - that can be determined at the first scan.

    Wait, if you had a reading at 17dpo, then (presuming ovulation at CD 14) you were 4 weeks, 3 days the day of that blood draw. How many days ago was that?

    If you ovulated early in your cycle, your gestational age might be adjusted by your doctor, to where it would be if you'd ovulated on CD14. Because pregnancy math presumes we all have regular, typical cycles.

    I'm pregnant with twins.  HCG was 256 at 10dp5dt (15dpo); 1896 at 14dp5dt (19dpo); and 8755 at 18dp5dt (23dpo). It more than doubled every 48 hours, so my doctor suspected multiples. I also had severe implantation bleeding and cramps, common with multiples.  But HCG is just a clue, not definitive.
    Me- 39 (turning 40 in April), TTC for the first time ever (since Jan 2015), low ovarian reserve
    Married 3/14/14 to my wonderful wife, but her sperm count is rather low
    TTC with frozen donor sperm and science

    7 IUIs, 7 BFNs.
    2 IVF attempts, both cancelled and converted to IUI, both BFNs.
    Decided that my tired old ovaries are ready to retire.
    Next step- reciprocal IVF, using my wife's eggs, my uterus!  
    fresh 5 day transfer (2 embryos) 4/17/17- BFP! 
    Identical twins "due" 1/2/17 (but anticipated arrival sometime December)

    Just one baby, confirmed by two ultrasounds (5w3d and 6w3d), and my HCG levels were:
    12 DPO: 133
    14 DPO: 432
    18 DPO: 2639

    An ultrasound wouldnt put you at 4w4d unless you were actually that far along.   If you temp and know precisely when you ovulated, an ultrasound would match that (as in, it mstches actual ovulation regardless of lmp or hcg level).
    Your numbers are in the range of normal and similar to what mine were with my first two (singletons)
