HCG Levels


Hi all, hope you dont mind me gate crashing for some advice here, having my HCG levels tested on Thursday and as i got my BFP 8 days before AF was due my midwife wants to know my levels, as she was my midwife before and family members midwife we are quite close and as she had twins herself she says she wouldn't be suprised if my early BFP is due to twins!??? Trying not to think about it until my levels come back and my scans but my heart soared when she mentioned it!!! Any advice???

Just be prepared for the result to go either way I can't really answer as I've never had a HCG test done (qualative or quantative).

Good luck I'mn hoping you get the answer you want =)

Sorry no advice to give. My HCG levels would have been strange anyway as ours were IVF twins.

I'd agree with Kellz though and say it could go either way. The things that you may expect with twins like being particularly sick don't always hold true.

Good luck though. I hope you are lucky. How long do you have to wait to find out?

Going for my blood test this morning and will get the results from there this evening hopefully, then i will have to decide if i would like a scan next week (7weeks) or at 12 weeks. will let you know the levels tonight.

ps had no sickness at all. i had a bug a few weeks ago which i at .first thought was morning sickness, but no i feel fine and dandy!!!

Well i went to see the midwife this morning and they decided not to test my levels as they would probably be misleading!! So not i have to decide if i want to have a 7 week scan or a 12 week scan!!!

Tough choice.
7 weeks scan should answer your question about if you are carrying twins or not, but you'll see more detail on a 12 week scan.

I'd go for the 7 week scan so you know and you'll still get your 20 week scan (plus loads of others if you are having twins )

OH and i have decided to wait till 12 weeks, he thinks i am putting to much pressure on myself already, i get so wrapped up in things - just the sort of person i am!!! Going to be patient sit back and enjoy, although my gut instinct is telling me it's not twins, still - fingers crossed for a happy healthy chubby bundle of lovliness!! or 2?? or 3!!! x x x
