Does A Very High hCG Test Result Mean Twins?

[Anonymous]

I got the ten day hCG test results back (after an embryo transfer) and it is over 400. Did anyone experience this and what was your outcome? Did you end up with a singleton or twins?

Mine did (don't remember the #s though - they're now 8)

Mine did, but resulted in vanishing twin syndrome.

Mine did not. For both of my successful pregnancies, my first beta was well over 2000 (14 days post 5 day transfer for the first successful pregnancy, 20 days after ovulation for the 2nd). Both were singleton pregnancies, confirmed via ultrasound at exactly 6 weeks each time.

I was told by a nurse at my RE's office that there may be a correlation between gender and beta level, and that women carrying female embryos may have a higher HCG. That was true in my case, as both of my children are girls.

It often means multiples, but not always. Some women just have higher numbers with singletons. For example, it’s a measurement of the pregnancy hormone by blood volume, so if you’re a very petite person, your number may be high just because you have an average amount of the hormone in a lower total blood volume.

Mine did. Identical twin boys. Good luck!

No, mine was very very very low (some thought not even viable).

Mine did. It was the first sign it might be twins.

It was twins for me too.

Mine was a singleton girl. 12days post transfer and I had a beta of 2,500ish.

Thank you.

Mine did not. It meant I was 12 weeks along when I thought I was only about 5.

Mine is a singleton (girl).
