Yea, my levels are increasing whoa. Im so happy. My levels increase from 359 to 4639 in 7 days. My dr is very happy with that. Will have us on Thursday next week. Im so looking forward to it. Its nice to get some good news after a yucky week.
Hi all
I had my blood test at 4.4 weeks and HCG level was 651. I was pregnant last year made it to twelve weeks before m/c but HCG level on same day was only 44. So it seems really high to me. We are doing IVF and had 2 blastocysts put in so there is a chance of twins. Has anyone had similar levels??? What were the results??? I still have two weeks til my first scan and am impatient. Thanks for your help.
Hi Meg
Can't help you with the twins part, but HCG levels have a huge range. For example, for a single baby:
Week 4- 5 to 426 (IU/L)
Week 5- 18 to 7340
Week 6- 1,080 to 56,500
Hope this helps!
Hello sorry for interupting, Just wanted to say hi to a fellow Deirdre. Hi I'm Deidree although no one calls me that, lol.
Nice to meet you and Welcome to BB

Do you know what caused your m/c? Perhaps your lower levels were caused by not all being too great even at that stage (i.e. if it was congenital problems)? Also though O happens at roughly the same time each cycle, implantation can vary so maybe this little blasty got dug in sooner and has had a few more days of doubling numbers than your angel did?
Or maybe it IS twins! Guess you'll find out in a few short weeks. Maybe you should schedule a dentist appointment for the same day - they always come very fast for dentist-fearing Bec
Thanks all for your responses. Docs could not pin point exact cause of last miscarriage though no abnormality found. Guess this time it is either one really healthy bub or maybe two, ill have to be patient. Thanks again will let you all know the outcome.
Meg, firstly Congrats, secondly that number does look like a possible twin pg!
Im currently pg with twins and at 4 weeks my level was 183... but obviously was not able to have twin confirmed until u/s at 7 weeks.... and yup, there are two in there!
I think it's a definate possibility given that you had two blasties transferred! But hcg levels are an indicator only - my level at 4 weeks was around 200 (so a bit higher than keen's actually) and there's definately only one in there!
A friend of mine conceived on clomid and her level at around 4 weeks was nearly 500 and this was also a singleton.
Just depends on the individual I guess, and levels double so quickly at this stage that if your dates were a bit out (although not in your case Meg being an ivf prg) your levels might seem higher?
I hope it is twins if that's what you're hoping for!! My best friend has two sets under 3 - YIKES!!
My hcg level at 4 weeks 4 days was 600 and there is only 1 bub there for me. I guess each one of us is different though. I guess you'll have to wait to have your scan to see how many you are growing. I hope the time goes fast for you. My dr agve me a hcg level chart thingy and now I can't find it grr. There is quite a big range though for each week from memory.
Reply With QuoteIts good 2 end the week with some +ve news, GL with the rest of pg.
