Hi All,
Im wondering if anyone has had a similar situation as me or knows someone. I found out i was pregnant with a very strong BFP at 8DPO. now at 10DPO i have constant morning sickness, only thrown up a few times but all day i feel like im on a ship. I found it so hard to get out of bed these last couple of days. with my DD i had such an easy pregnancy, i miscarried twins a year ago and Faternal twins run in both my mum and dad's side. What do you think? High chance for me?
Thanks Guys :)
Perhaps you could get a dating scan to have a sneak peak??
Hope the morning sickness eases off for you, sounds pretty horrible!
Sounds like your HCG is very high to make you so ill. Perhaps it'd be worth taking a look at the levels to see what its saying. A scan would be good, but they might not see much before 5-6 weeks.
With my boys I got a really dark line at 10DPO, MS kicked in at about 7 weeks.
There's only one real way of knowing i guess, have a scan. High hcg levels could also indicate a molar pregnancy, maybe you o'ed earlier than usual so are further along, or jusdt a strong little bubba in there. Sorry you're feeling the sickness already - that cant be fun :(
My SIL had such high Hcg levels that her Dr called her to come in when the results came back as the Dr suspected twins & sent her for a scan. Her Dr was convinced it would be twins. But nope, just the 1 little bubble in there which was correct for dates etc. My sil just had really high Hcg levels for some reason.
I have set up a scan for 15/3 which by then I will be
6 weeks, which I think is the earliest that can do a scan
So fingers crossed, I don't think I'll mind twins, as long as they are
happy and healthy.
good luck for your scan, I hope however many babies you have in there are healthy and strong :)
It is really hard to tell if you are expecting twins without having a scan. With DD I got a +POAS at 9dpo and at my blood test at 16dpo my HCG was 305, with this pregnancy I also got a +POAS at 9dpo and at my blood test at 16dpo my HCG was 351. So not much difference both times and 1 was a singleton pregnancy and the other a twin pregnancy. Genetically you have a higher chance of fraternal twins if it runs in your family but identicals are purely a "fluke" and can happen to anyone.
As for your m/s symptoms, with DD I had bad m/s from 7 1/2 to 12 weeks and this time around only from 7 1/2 - 9 weeks so even that won't give you any idea.
Hopefully you can get a scan booked in shortly and you will find out if you are having 1 or 2 more. Good luck.
Does anyone know if it is twins am i still able to have them at a birthing centre, or is it too high risk? Because i had DD at Blacktown birthing centre and it was such a wonderful experience.
Just wanted to pop in and say that my HCG levels at like 6 weeks were 38,000! :o We were convinced it was twins, went for the scan, and nope, just one. We've had 3 scans and she's been spot on her dates, so I guess she's just a strong bubba!
Usually with twins you will be in a consultant unit, not a birthing unit. You would be considered high risk but it needn't be a medical birth if you don't consent.
Im with PumpkinZulu on this one, a scan is the only way to tell. My HGC at 6 weeks was 73 000, so you really just cant tell. I threw up from 6 weeks to 37. Good luck with the scan in March and hope all are happy and healthy. Cant wait to hear :hug::
I'm with PZ on this one too.:
I'm only baking one bubba this time and had bad MS right from the word dot until 18wks, but my HCG levels were only 29 at 15dpo, and a little over 7400 or something low like that at 6-7wks.
By rights she shouldn't have stayed sticky - and I had quite a few bleeds early on too - but she's still there and due in less than 5wks.
FXed you see a nice healthy bubba (or 2!) at your scan next month!
