lol triplets, that's just cruel!
Re the HCG doubling, this can vary massively, and my understanding it's quite non-linear. So you can't just plug it into a spreadsheet and "chart" what it will go up to.. as partic after 8 weeks the rate of increase will really vary - but also I've read (does that make it true haha?) it that it can vary a lot before the 7-8 week mark tho too. Plus from what i saw, the studies that predicted those change rates were pretty small, and there's a bit of "disagreement" about it. Plus that's for 85% of women. For 15% of women, their rate of change might be slower or faster at a certain point (this was me s-slower - which freaked me out, but turned out to be fine).
So you might find your levels change in their increase quite drastically depending on when it is. I do agree that if you're only 4 wks 2 days, they're on the high side though.
From my perspective, I ended up having 5 serial HCG's (which nearly did my head in) and NONE of it seemed to really correspond to what it should. So honestly, IMHO take it with a grain of salt... main thing being that it's a great HCG level, and it all sounds pretty good so far! Looking forward to hearing the next instalment in your adventures!
Take care
P.S. I think my brain must be s-s-s-slower!
