HCG Level with Twins???

mummyconfused · Mar 4th, 2010, 04:18 AM

Just woundering what everyones HCG level was at around 4-5weeks??? Everyone keeps saying twins to me, so just wondering if you could share you stories wiht me..

my hcg level at 4 weeks (ish) was 145. I have read loads of things on Bnb that it's progesterone not hcg that will indicate whether it's a multiple pregnancy.
I didnt suspect anything at all until the nuchal scan, I put all the signs down to age and the fact that I was always looking after between and 2 -4 children... tiredness was, and still is the big thing for me, I also suffered more with achy back early on. MS was no different with these than it was my singleton pregnancies.

Are you going to have an early scan? if you suspect must be very exciting

Sorry, my HCG levels weren't monitored in this pregnancy hun.

Levels vary hugely from woman to woman at this stage. Anything from 10 - 1000s is considered normal for a singleton pregnancy, so it's impossible to tell from that alone if you're carrying multiples or not.

It always fascinates me how excited you ladies seem to get at the prospect of twins. I was terrified when they told me - all I could think was "I'm not going to cope!!!"

DOn't know if that's because I've already got kids, and I know how hard one newborn is, or if it's just me.

Twin pregnancy is sooo much harder than a singleton too, and the potential complications greater. Maybe I'm just a born worrier

Good luck with your pregnancy love, however many are on board xxx

They never did mine because I was suspecting twins, and at nine weeks, when I first went in, they did a scan to confirm..But, my progesterone was over double what it normally is with my singletons..32 I think

Just double checked mine from last summer...

I got 221 for 14 dpo,

Then 557 for my second at 16 dpo.

So mine more than doubled too, and were well above range for 14dpo.

I had originally decided I just implanted quick, but nope - it was twins!

My HCG was normal at only 34 around 12-13dpo, but my progesterone was super high at like 54 at 12-13dpo. Normally my progesterone was more like 15-20 at that timeframe so I suspected twins which were confirmed at my 6wk scan!!
