    My beta is back for 25dpo - 5332 so it dind't double and not even over 3 days.
    I am a bit worried now
    19 dpo = 1396
    22 dpo = 3158 (Doubling time 2.54 days or 59.44 hours) Progesterone : 35
    25 dpo = 5332 (doubling time of 3.97 days or 104.54 hours)
    According to the babymed calculator that is a slower than normal doubling
    Surely if it was twins my betas would be higher and doubling faster?
    My Dr tends to look at the individual level rather than doubling times so she says they are still high considering how far I am.
    So she is ok with the number as a sole number as it average for 6-7 weeks but I am not so sure as it has no where near doubled.
    The sonographers report was inconclusive and all it said was a possible gestation sac or a possible pseudosac... good thing I printed out one of the pics showing 2 sacs to show my GP coz it was totally against everything the report said. So she is ignoring the scan report and we'll do another scan next Friday and another beta on Monday with progesterone. Even though she wrote it on the first 3 referrals they only tested it once.. so she was wasn't happy they had not done the tests she asked for.

    So I am not too sure whether I will stay pregnant with a healthy baby or twins or what... totally up in the air for the moment
    I don't have any morning sickness either which by now I am over a bucket. Just can't help feeling this isn't going to make it to Ocotber

    i hope things go well for you, but i thought maybe it was twins to start with, as your hcg levels did seem quite high to begin with but maybe you did lose a twin and that is why the numbers have not increased as much, but are still increasing as the other twin keeps growing. i'm not an expert, but maybe that would explain why the numbers have not doubled as much as expected for a twin pregnancy. just to add i am due the middle of october and i got my hcg levels done on thursday and i got a level of 6500, so your levels seem ok to me. wishing you all the best x
