HCG Question

[Mom2Ms]

Good Morning Ladies-

Cautiously optimistic here. I've quietly been going through fertility treatments and got a BFP this week. It was confirmed by my RE. My beta was 402......My RE was a very concerned about my levels and mentioned several times that with the number being so high, he was suspicious of multiples. I've got an ultrasound for January 6. I am over the moon excited, but now really anxious over the real possibility of multiples. I've been with my RE since 2014 & we conceived DS with his help. There's always been discussion of how more than two would certainly put my health at risk. Would anyone care to share their betas and whether you had a singleton, twins, or triplets, or more?

I am pregnant with twins. I will tell you that there are several women on here (maybe even jennykat?) who had really high betas and are just having one.

At 8dp5dt I was 78.
12dp5dt 634
14dp5dt 1500ish
18dp5dt 6000ish

By a week before my ultrasound, I think I was up to 50,000.

At 6w6d we saw twins. Certainly it can be an indicator of multiples but very often it isn't.

That's good to know. He just seemed overly concerned with it. And when your RE acts concerned, it makes you concerned , or at least for me it does. My beta was done 14 days past my IUI if that's helpful info.

Mom2Ms, how far where you when that beta was taken?

And I agree 100% with @wineandcupcakes, lots of women have high betas with only one. There is a wide range of normal where betas are concerned.

14DPIUI...

Mine was 1829 12dp5dt. I can't remember my 1st u/s at 5w but it was high. At 6w1d it was 93,000. I have just 1

[callmeKD]

at 14 days post IUI my beta was an 85 with twins. at 16 days post IUI my beta was 465 with twins.

a friend had a much higher beta at 14 days post IUI than me and she's only pregnant with 1.

Take the betas with a grain of salt before your scan as they can vary so much! My first beta at 14dp5dt was almost 2,000 and I am carrying 1 handsome dude.

[teachermomtobe]

My betas at 14dp5dt were like 1200 and I am carrying 1.

ETA: I just checked and betas were actually 2,307 lol

Recent grad....
Not sure of exact dpo with DS1, but somewhere around 16-18 and my beta was over 1100.

DS2 - 13dp5dt (18 dpo) - 1548
15dp5dt (20 dpo) - 2748
18dp5dt (23 dpo) - 7586

DS3 - can't find the exact # but at 13dp5dt is was 12 or 13 something.

Each time, someone in the office thought there was more than one for sure. I was like no, no. There's only one. First was clomid. Next two were FETs of one embryo.

My first beta this time around at 10dp5dt was 356 (I'm carrying triplets). DD was a singleton and her initial # at 9dp5dt was 233 which was also pretty high but wasn't an indication of multiples. We saw the heartbeats at our first u/s at 6 wks. We really weren't thinking multiples with that #. Our RE was shocked as well (mainly because we did a single embryo transfer).

Wow! That's just something that's meant to be!

Thank-you ladies. This certainly puts my mind at ease. Real life examples carry much more impact than your doctor mentioning something very stressfully!
