Beta HCG levels doubling too fast. What does it mean?
Hi everyone,
My wife's hcg levels have climbed from 160 at 21 dpo to 2000 at 23 dpo. It's too soon to see anything with an ultrasound. We are very worried. I know the levels are supposed to double every other day. How abnormal is such an increase?
The OB says it could be twins or it could be nothing or it could be a molar pregnancy. We're going nuts not knowing.
Anyone know how to interpret such numbers?
Thank you so much,
Tudor

They're going up, which is a great sign!! It could definitely be multiples with numbers going that high. Until you know for sure, don't stress, and keep your wife calm - because that's whats best for the baby (or babies)!!! Good luck and congratulations!!
Thanks for your support. After a loong week of not knowing, today we finnaly saw our little baby. Just one. But healthy. We are very happy. Thank you.
