HCG LEVELS

[Suzie0224]

I have read on several sites the ranges for hcg levels.  16 dpo my hcg level is 1061.  From  what I have read that is high.  Could this mean twins?  My progesterone is 58.

My 1st ultrasound is Nov. 13th.  Seems like forever away.  Dr. says that my results are excellent. I have had 5 m/c's and 1 chemical preg.  Hopefully clomid works for me!

It looks like there are different charts out there depending on where you look.  When are you having your first ultrasound?  I am dying to know now..lol.

Whatever the case, I wish you a healthy pregnancy!!!

What made me think twins was a possibility was this chart.  I am either 16 or 17 DPO.

At 16 DPO, the average HCG level is 95 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 33-223 mIU/ml.
At 17 DPO, the average HCG level is 132 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 17-429 mIU/ml.
At 18 DPO, the average HCG level is 292 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 70-758 mIU/ml.
At 19 DPO, the average HCG level is 303 mIU/ml, with a typical range of 111-514 mIU/ml.

Based on this chart, I am at least double the high end of the range.  I was taking clomid so I was wondering if I am the 10%
Thanks...

Hi Suzie.  16 DPO is considered about 4 1/2 weeks LMP or pregnant.  I copy and pasted this chart for you.  Its just a guidline, but you are definately on the high side.  It can mean multiples, although only an ultrasound will show for sure.  Congrats on your pregnancy, and good luck to you!!!
