HCG level driving me crazy!!!

[Pretty Butterfly]

Even after being quiet conservative, I'll still reach 435,200 just before 9 weeks, still HEAPS high!!

Looking forward to the scan next thursday, if only to ease my mind everything is ok....

*goes to check how numbers look if double evey 4 days instead!*

[Pretty Butterfly]

Even if I double every 4 days from here on on, which would be pretty unusual, I'll still be at least double by 10.3 wks!!!

Off to find something else to sink my teeth into!!!

Otherwise i'll just go nuts!!

Can you not ask for an earlier scan? At least it'll tell you if it 1 or 2 and it will stop you from wondering. Will you be excited if it is 2? I would love twins!

Honey my hcg levels were 957 at 4 wks and 2 days and then 4697 at 4 weeks and 6 days. My initial hcg result is like urs and then i wanted to have a 2nd hcg test to compare the 1st one with. At no stage did either GP i saw to get the results indicate that there was any probs in fact they said that it indicated the pg was viable. I asked the GP at the 2nd appt whether a higher result meant twins and he said that the numbers are largely due to the size of the placenta which may or may not indicate twins.

Oh thanks babe!! I've already lost one twin years ago, and my b/pressure is REALLY high, so my doc is suss.

But your all good, hopefully i am too!!!
Thanks again hon!!

Just to let you know too that there is another hcg guide posted here on BB - it's the 3rd sticky down on the First Trimester General discussion thread - this forum.

My doc was really worried that my numbers were high, i thought they were ok.. but i was concerned about ectopic.. then when I lost one the other day.

Best of luck and i am sure all is going to be great!

Gosh hon, I'm so sorry, I've been there too...

If my numbers only double every 3 days, and everything stays ok, my numbers will be still higher than yours..

To be honest I'm pretty worried about something being wrong besides twins....

I dont know what, as most times the numbers get lower, but i just feel funny about it...
