Possible Twins from HCG?

Mine went from 84 to 200 so maybe!

@Kylee in 48 hours? Xxxx

Yep!

@Kylee ahh so exciting! Did you have any others done xxx

Nope! After my 3 miscarriages we were really happy with the 180% rise and stopped testing 🥰

Do you know your progesterone levels around 3+6 to 4+1?

My levels more than tripled, didn’t quite quadruple every 48 hours but at 3+6 my progesterone was higher than my nurse had ever seen at that gestation. It was at (I believe) 39. Obviously there is controversy and they say HCG and progesterone levels don’t determine how many babies are in there, but they were both very true for me.

Possible not guarantee. You can also have high HCG with singletons as well.

I don’t know what my levels were but I was getting stronger and stronger positives every time I took a test over the span of a couple days and I hadn’t even missed my period yet x

@Kylee I’ve had 5 miscarriages!! Non of my bloods before have been like thisbxxx

@Hannah wow that’s crazy! Yeah I know they don’t determine and apparently with girls you can have really high HCG! Xxx

@Sarah yeah that’s why it’s only possible twins not definite! Apparently singleton girls have high HCG levels xxx

@Jamie mine was the same like dramaticly more each day more than you would normally see! I tested positive on 10DPO too! Xx

@Hannah no they don’t check this xxx

@Jasmine yea mine were ridiculously dark and I was so ill then I had my 12 week scan and was like OH 😂

@Jamie omggg stop i was so ill at the start!! What DPO did you test positive ? I have a scan on nye when I should be 6w xxx

@Jasmine I would of been like 14DPO I think but I knew before that I was pregnant I could tell, they’re like 10 months old now and I can still remember it clearly I was so so ill xxx

It’s suppose to double every 2 days! I’ve had higher HCG than this with a single child, who was a girl. What week are you suppose to be?

@Alana not really sure as I’ve not had a period but conceived on the 3rd same day I ovulated so dr says nye will be 6+4 ish so round 5 now xx

Technically 4+6 but no more than 5! My clear blue already said 2/3 weeks on like day 13dpo! Xxxx

@Jasmine that’s not crazy high for 5w, so I don’t think it’s twins. It’s on the lower end of the normal range. I’ve had a HCG in the thousand’s around the same gestation as well and it was confirmed a singleton on the dating scan.

Hey question ! Is there a way to check on our own?

@Sapphire Muñoz no it's blood tests from a lab ❤️

@Jasmine all the best regardless

@Sapphire Muñoz no blood tests for hcg but this isn’t always true for twins only way is a scan xxx

I love these kind of threads, sitting here like I rocked up to my dating scan at '12ish weeks' the day after getting off a plane from vacay thinking my symptoms were pretty mild compared to my first... not a damn clue what my hcg was the entire time 😂 14+5... got sent to a private room to call my hubby who didn't believe me, had to get the midwife on the phone. Please let us know either way x

@Mou Omg hahah!!! Well I will defo let you know! I have a private booked for Xmas eve but I think I might just wait it out till my scan on new years xxx

My son's hcg was higher than this at 4weeks+3 and he was deffo a singleton boy 😅

@Charlie I’m about 4w 3 days apparently now going off conception date being 3rd December. HCG today has gone up so much it’s now saying 3+ on clear blue so in 24 hours it’s doubled at least!! Xx

Oh yeah I should've added my 84 was at 3w4d and the 200 was 3w6d, I agree that's not super high for 5 weeks, and after working OB it's definitely not an indicator of how many babes you'll have but fun to guess with until you can get your first scan!

@Jasmine it’s suppose to double every 24-36 hours

@Alana definitely every 48-72 hours not 24-36..

@Alana no it’s evey 48 hours believe me this is my 6th pregnancy 🤣 xxx

@Jasmine I'm like once you struggle with infertility/recurrent loss you get this shit down pat 😅

I have nothing to compare it to because it was my first viable pregnancy, but I got a dark dye stealer (on an expired test!) at 13DPO. The morning sickness was extreme starting around 3 weeks (1 week post-conception). At day 14 I did a blood test that was around ~400 and day 16 was ~1200! My first ultrasound was at 7 weeks and they detected two strong heartbeats!

I thought I was having twins this pregnancy. So many symptoms, super dark lines at 7-8dpo, bigger belly from the start, extremely sick, high HCG, and more.. turns out it was just a single little girl causing a ruckus in there lol

I have twins. My hcg is supper high, but my friend as well (almost same numbers), and she has singleton. So I don't think hcg levels are indicative of twins. 1st (around 13) 320 2nd (15) 850 3rd (17) 2511 4th (21) 11945

@Thanh I’ve just been for a scan and only one sac so far, couldn’t see anything else yet xxx
