Q: Beta #2 ....4748
asked by: DPrssd on December 28th, 2007

Hi all
I just had my second beta, the first was 12dpo at 185
They said that it should double every 2nd or 3rd day...I'm now 19dpo (a week later) and the beta is 4748!! That's way more than doubling ever few days no?
Am I having twins? Confused
There is a possibility because I had IVF and they transferred two embryos back into me. I would be over the moon if I'm having twins. yes
I guess I'll have to wait until the ultrasound to know for sure, but if any of you have any insight...please share.

Cheers
Cheryl

More hCG is released in a multiple pregnancy, such as twins or triplets, than in a single pregnancy. Less hCG is released if the fertilized egg implants in a place other than the uterus, such as in a fallopian tube. This is called an ectopic pregnancy.


It is VERY possible!

That's such great news Cheryl!! I can't wait for you to go for your ultrasound. When do you go?

It is really hard to judge whether or not its twins just by the numbers. Betas always tend to rise quicker in the beginning then they start to slow down. Sorry I am not too much help. But one good thing is that it is a very good sign that your little bean is growing quite nicely.....yay!!!!!!!
