High HGC levels ?? Twins???

[Shell72]

   I am 5 wks my levels are 5500 hgc, 2 days later at 11000. We had US done twice and cant really see much going on. But something, What do you think???  Are the levels really high enough to be twins???

Are you sure about your dates?  If you're even one or two days off it could make a huge difference.  My levels were 507 at 15 or 16dpo, so they could have been close to yours at 5 weeks (21dpo, right).

I just have one, and so far all is well at 13 weeks.

Good news that they are doubling.  Best of luck to you.

  My ovulation is off from LSM. I ovulated late so my weeks are not on per my LSM. Had 2 ultrasounds and they say by my HCG levels they should see more then they do. Meaning it could be twins they take longer to develop. I am like 25, 26 dpo

Hmm, one of my doctors won't even check HCG because it is so inaccurate.  She won't even do ultrasounds until 7 weeks.  Things are just so early with you, I wouldn't worry about anything.  Are you hoping for twins?

  Well I had a tubal reversal done just Sept 14th just a couple of months ago. So we had to watch for tubal pregnancy. We know that the baby or babies are ok we just dont know 1 or 2. She can't see enough of the baby for what my hcg level is at. I think it would be cool to have twins but alot of work. I have 2 girls now 15 and 13 so they want twins bad.  And they would be alot of help too.

At 5 weeks 2 days my hcg level was 23,425 and there is only one in there. By my last ultrasound my baby is measuring 13w5d today. I was told by several doctors that high hcg levels doesn't always indicate twins, just like high hcg levels doesn't always indicate molar pregnancies. Just keep paying attention to the ultrasounds, that's the true indicator!

  We are having an ultrasound on the 27th so we will see.  Thanks for your input
