High HCG levels

[Anonymous]

Hi- I have never posted before but looking for some help. I am 40 years old and have two children from IVF. A 9 year old and a 5 year old (FET). I have many frozen embryos left with my 30 year old eggs so we decided to try for one more child. My HCG beta test came back Tuesday as positive, with a reading of 1934. My second HCG test today was 5543. With my first two children my readings were much lower, more about the 2-3,000 range for the second test. We only transferred one embryo and I’m freaking out a little thinking 1) it is twins and 2) it’s a molar pregnancy. The clinic said I’ll come back in two weeks for my ultrasound. So my question is, has anyone has crazy high HCG levels and had a healthy singleton pregnancy? Thank you for any help.

Were your embryos PGS tested?

They were not because the eggs were 30 and I had two healthy children so SG suggested against it.

What days past transfer? My 13pt beta was 1800something and then 18pt over 11,000. Singleton.

Mine were high and I was dx with a molar pregnancy. It almost killed me; had metastatic tumors and needed several courses of strong chemo. Make sure your dr doesn’t take a laissez faire attitude. Mine should have been paying more attention.

Thank you! My first beta was 14 days after a blast transfer and the second beta (today) was 16 days past transfer

Do you mind sharing what your HCG levels were? I emailed my doctor today and he said I shouldn’t worry about it, that chances are it’s just a super strong pregnancy

Seems fine.

That doesn't double enough for twins. Just barely there for a singleton.

My first beta was 1200+. My second (4 days later after a weekend) was 7000. Singleton.

My first beta after FET at day 14 was 1300. We transferred 1 embryo. The next one was over 4000. Healthy singleton.

1575 first beta at 14dpt and had twins

I’ve been pregnant three times... two singletons and then twins. My twin pregnancy was my lowest beta of the 3 (740 13dp5dt). There’s a wide range of normal. Try not to read into it too much.

Thank you. I know I sound ungrateful but it took awhile to get DH on board with this third kid at all so twins wouldn’t go over too well

My 2 successful pregnancies started with betas around 3000. The first was an FET; beta at 14dp5dt was 2887. Second pregnancy was a surprise, but we estimated that the first beta was drawn at 17dpo, and it was 2900. Both successful, singleton pregnancies. Both girls!

Congrats, OP!
