If you've had fertility treatments or have a history of chemical pregnancies, or have another medical reason to do it such as a prior ectopic or molar pregnancy, you get the numbers checked. |
I had severe hyperemsis with by first DC. I was in the ER for it around week 6. My hcG levels were very high and the ER doctors thought maybe I was having twins. We were pretty freaked out. Turns out it was a singleton and a boy. |
Don't remember the numbers but extremely high - had horrible morning sickness. Had a girl. |
my Beta #1 (at 10dp5dt) was 385, #2 (at 14 dp5dt) was 2650! I was sure it was twins but nope. i am having a girl! |
oh, ps zero morning sickness. |
I've had three girls. Numbers were on the low end with the last one. They were mid-range with the second.
Oh, how I miss the low-risk, no testing days with my first. Sweating the numbers is no picnic. |
Hcg 124 at 3w4d. It's a boy. |
Is that low or high? Middle? |
I had a boy many years ago, my HcG was low.....never could get a positive home pregnancy test. Levels were low but I don't remember the exact figures. Still trying to conceive baby #2. Hoping to have a girl this time. |
my hcg levels were very high; he's definitely a BOY! |
I had lower levels and am having a girl. |
I had high HCG numbers and I am having a boy, but I also had a vanishing twin miscarriage at 7 weeks, so the high numbers were probably from having twins. No m/s before or after the miscarriage. |
Very high levels, had a girl. |
I didn't have my numbers checked w/ my 1st one... Not much morning sickness. I had a boy! With this 2nd pregnancy, I had some blood work done (due to spotting)- 6.5 weeks pregnant & my hcg levels were 54000!!! They said that's very high & I went in for an ultrasound right away & its 1 healthy baby!! So I'm wondering if this one is a girl. I had god awful morning (all day/night) sickness. So we will see eventually..... |
My first beta at 12 dp 5dt (17 dpo) was just over 1000. I had a girl. However, I barely had any pregnancy symptoms - maybe a week of nausea and some food aversions early on. For this reason, I was convinced I was having a boy until the scan showed otherwise. |
