New here --> Beta # for twins?

fetch · 02-18-2005, 08:39 AM

Hi Ladies,

I hope you don't mind me posting this question here. I just needed some insight, because the curiousity and wait is driving me nuts.

Just some background on me first:
I just got the news this past Monday that we are pg from my first DIUI cycle. No meds, only HCG shot (severe male factor). Only "appeared" to have 1 mature, but small, follie at 18mm.

Here are my beta# results so far.
I have my 3rd beta on Mon (21dpiui) and 4th on 28dpiui.

Beta #1 14dpiui = 319
Beta #2 16dpiui = 849

I have to wait until March 9th for my first u/s because my RE is on vaca. The wait will drive me nuts!

Question. Are my beta #'s so far on track for a singleton or is the liklihood twins??

Thanks!

I'm having twins, and my betas were:

11dp3dt - 113
14dp3dt - 539

I have seen people with higher betas than me only be pregnant with a singleton, and lower betas be twins.

Unfortunately you're going to have to wait until the u/s..it's just about as agonizing as the 2ww for the pregnancy test!

Good luck!

Sally

I agree with Sally you just can not tell with beta numbers. My numbers were 200 at 12 dpt 400 at 14 dpt and 16 dpt they were 1800. I think that is what they were it is funny because as time passes I can not remember those numbers but I can remember how much the babies weigh.

Congrats on your pregnancy

Mine were 55 at 11dpt and 75 two days later, 150 two days after that and I forget the rest. It all didn't matter to me after that. I was pregnant!!!! YAY!
We even surprised our RE and nurse when we saw our two transferred babies heartbeats at 6 wks.

Congrats!
