High hcg

Hi
Yeah we had the scan and it was amazing!! one perfect little peanut, with a very strong heartbeat. We are so happy and relieved, the risk involved with twins were quite daunting. Doc says 95% Chance of healthy bub so it is full steam ahead with plenty of shopping to be done. Good luck to you all and thanks for your help with my query.

wow that is great news.

:happyforyou: Congratulations!

Great news Meg!

Wishing you a wonderful pregnancy filled with joy and giggles!

1208 in fact!!!! This seems ridiculously high to me. Last time I was 179 at this point..... I guess there is a chance I might have O'd earlier than usual....it does have me questioning both my O date/cycle length and the possibility of twins (my nana was a twin and 'apparently' in our families past they have come every second generation.....).

Did anyone have a number close to this anywhere near 4 weeks and only have one bub?

EDIT: Nov 2013 - to all my friends, please note this is an OLD post (read the date) about when preg with DD2. I'm not preg again!

How exciting Chody. I have no experience but just excited for you:)

I can't remember what my HCG levels were.. but maybe you're just further along than you thought? What did doc say?

ooh maybe twins!!! so exciting.

Just found this on wiki:

weeks since LMP mIU/mL
3 5 – 50
4 5 – 426
5 18 – 7,340
6 1,080 – 56,500
7 – 8 7,650 – 229,000
9 – 12 25,700 – 288,000

Looks like your levels are definitely high for 3w6d! Have they scheduled an early u/s or anything?

Well I have got the paperwork for an early ultrasound (I wanted it more so for peace of mind). I was going to book it for around 7 weeks to hopefully see a heartbeat. Now I want to go now to see what's in there/how far along I am!

How exciting!! You could well have a pair in there!

Mine was similar, and it was twins... Sadly, one of them only made it to about 8 weeks. If I were you I'd start getting my head around the possibility of multiples!

Thanks for the info everyone. Oh, and to answer the question - the doc didn't say anything - I just rang for the test results. I guess I'll find out for sure what's there in about 3 weeks..... Going for more bloods today.. Hopefully they're increasing nicely.

Myself and my girlfriend both have high HCG that early and both only had one bubba each. I was told to prepare myself that I may miscarrage or have an ectopic. Don't mean to scare you but that was what my OB told me. All was fine and now I have a gorgeous 5 yo DD.

Sorry cant really help - but I am carrying twins and my hcgwas 104 at about the same point as your at now. So it just goes to show - even with multiples hcg doesn't have to be under high.

Good luck either way and congratulations:)

Maybe triplets! To be honest there is only one other thing I could think of and I wouldn't want to scare you.

Best of luck

A couple of people have mentioned bad things now....is high HCG actually a bad thing? (and don't worry about scaring me, after a previous early miscarriage I've learnt to accept that pregnancy, especially early on, is not a guaranteed thing and I have no control over it.... The fact I have no symptoms is kinda worrying in itself...

I have heard of a few people to have rather high HCG levels and everything be okay. In fact, my sister did and she is currently 16+ weeks pregnant. Higher HCG levels can sometimes mean a molar pregnancy. Just go back to your GP if you're concerned though xx
