My levels were as follows:

3w6d HCG was 67.6 (date we confirmed pregnancy)
4w5d HCG was 1,374.8
5w5d HCG was 15,415.5 (first saw baby with heartbeat)
6w3d HCG was 38,738

Had ultrasound again at 7w4d, but doctor said once you have cardiac on baby they stop checking HCG because it gets to a point where it stops rising like it does in the early stages of pregnancy.  But, we saw the baby again and heartbeat.  And there is only one baby.  My numbers were higher than with my last pregnancy and I thought multiples, but it's just one strong baby!

Your levels are pretty high.  Mine were only 57 at 4w0d, and 1400 at 4w6d.  I don't know if it would be twins, but I had my 1st u/s at 6w3d, so you will know soon!!!

I'm not worried but i am wondering if there is any posibility of twins with my levels being in the mid to high range. (doctor said to have it in the back of my mind)
