I am havIng my hCG levels Watched because of a previous miscarriage. Anyway I don't know my due date because of an irregular period. Anyways- My level last tuesday was at 186 now this Tuesday 3 hours Shy of it being exactly one week later.. my levels are at 4300 my math tells me it shouldve been at about 1400 and my first hCG check ever to check for pregnancy was only a 7 but 46hours later it was at 31. Am I showIng signs of twins?

Monday. It was supposed to be tomorrow but I had to reschedule. I have a very busy 2 and 3 year old so I am just curious if I should prepare myself for a bigger handful!!:)

Keep in mind that the range of levels is just a general kind of thing.  Some women have higher levels while others have lower.  You very well COULD be having twins, but chances are about the same that you aren't.  When will they be doing your dating ultrasound?

Thank you. I have no idea how far along I am because I didn't get a period last month but I know i'm no further than a few weeks as My HCG level was only a 7 a couple weeks ago. I am just wondering because I know its supposed to double every 48-72hrs but its clearly going up faster than that.. That just makes me nervous!:)

High HCG can inidicate multiples but the presence of high levels of hcg can't definitively diagnose a multiple pregnancy.  Becuase you do not know how far along you are your levels could be right on target.  If you had to take a guess how far do you think you would be?  Here is a chart of the average HCG levels per week of pregnancy for a singleton pregnancy:  

3 weeks LMP: 5 - 50 mIU/ml
4 weeks LMP: 5 - 426 mIU/ml
5 weeks LMP: 18 - 7,340 mIU/ml
6 weeks LMP: 1,080 - 56,500 mIU/ml
7 - 8 weeks LMP: 7, 650 - 229,000 mIU/ml
9 - 12 weeks LMP: 25,700 - 288,000 mIU/ml
13 - 16 weeks LMP: 13,300 - 254,000 mIU/ml
17 - 24 weeks LMP: 4,060 - 165,400 mIU/ml
25 - 40 weeks LMP: 3,640 - 117,000 mIU/ml
Non-pregnant females: <5.0 mIU/ml
Postmenopausal females: <9.5 mIU/ml

I hope this helps.
