Hi everyone,

I'm new to this site and love the community!! :)

I was wondering if anyone else had this happen to them and if so, what was the outcome? At 18 days past ovulation I went in for a blood test and my HCG levels seemed low, around 190. So my dr. had me re-test 72 hours later and the number shot up to 1290. What can this mean? Mulitples? Eptopic?

Thanks for any info!!! :)

Hi, my HCG levels were:
Cycle day 32: 129 hcg, progesterone 15.4
Cycle day 34: 451 hcg
Cycle day 41: 12,163 hcg

It was a single, healthy pregnancy, my son is 8 now :-)
Hope that helps, best wishes,

Dear B.,
I don't think HCG levels themselves indicate whether a pregnancy is ectopic or not. As long as your levels are going UP, it's a very good sign!
With my son, I was having lots of bleeding and my levels were so low that they said it wasn't a viable pregnancy. They tested me a few days later and my numbers had shot up like crazy! I had a (one) beautiful and healthy boy.
I'm afraid you're going to have to wait for your ultrasound to know whether it's multiples or not.
Hang in there and let us know!

Your levels do not usually double or triple if it is ectopic. I had a single pregnancy and my numbers were just like yours in a 72 hours window. Congrats!

Hello B.,

My numbers were high and I did not know what that meant. Until I was 9 weeks and went to my first Ultra Sound and found out I was having Twins. Good Luck and Congrats!!

Sounds like multiples babe!! Did you use act (assited conception technology) or is this a natural preg? Get lots of rest, drink 96 oz of water a day and get an ultrasound. GOOD LUCK!!

I don't recall the exact levels, but my level was so high that the nurse commented that I may be having twins. I had one - a boy - now almost 5 and there were never any signs that there had been more. It seems a few others reported having boys, too.
Best of luck to you!
