High Beta 12 days after 5dt?

[Anonymous]

My first thought is maybe twins, but hen I read that high betas could mean abnormalities too. Anyone care to share their betas/number of babies, etc? Mine was 875 at 12 days past a day 5 transfer.

Thx!

Take a look at these charts.

I don't know this for sure but I think high betas are only related to abnormalities later in pregnancy. At this point there is a very large range and I think twins would be a more likely explanation than an early sign of something being wrong.

Congrats!

Are you the same person who initially got the BFN at 6dp5dt?? Either way, congrats!!!

Hi, 14:09, I'm not...I actually got a bfp at 5 days past transfer (although not a poster on that thread either!). But thank you!

I have looked at betabase but the average numbers are so much lower than mine I got worried!

My first beta was 2500 on 13 days past a day 5 transfer, and it's twins. I'm now about 33 weeks. Good luck!

I'd think that twins are more likely.

In most of the early losses I hear of low betas.

That doesn't seem overly high to me, though it could certainly be twins if you transferred more than 1. My singleton was 900 at 17dpo.

I would say single. Doesn't seem that high.

Doesn't sound extremely high but you never know. Mine was 875 at 13dp5dt, so 1 day behind you. You never know until you get an ultrasound.

Twin Mom here with initial beta 6dp5dt in the 500's. I have a friend whose initial beta was 29 14dp5dt and she didn't believe the pregnancy was going to be okay, especially since she is a cancer survivor, but her ds is alive and well. There is a huge variations in what is normal for those early numbers.

I'm 13 weeks along with twins. My first beta at 13dp5dt was in the 1500s.

[Anonymous]

Did you get your progesterone level too? Both my numbers were high and it was indeed twins.

[Anonymous]

Oh, I would say that this is more likely to be a strong pregnancy. I really wouldn't worry about it being too high.

This is OP, thanks for the reassurance! And congrats to all of you

Betas can be wacky. My beta at 15dp3dt was 449 and I was pregnant with identical twins. Sometimes there is a correlation and sometimes (like in my case) there is not.
