Two IVF pregnancies so dates certain. 1st time - levels higher than average by 30% = girl. 2nd time - levels lower than average by 30% = boy.

But my morning sickness was much worse with this boy pregnancy.

Why does everyone even know these numbers? When I peed on a stick and got a positive, I made an appt. for 10 weeks and that was that. I can understand if you are having fertility treatments but why else is this # useful?

Is hcg level how Intelligender and the like work?

Yes I thought I was having twin girls again, just one single girl this time but HCG levels were very high.

Mine were pretty high -- prob 30-40% above what was average on betabase and I'm having a girl.

Mine were very high - so high that there is a DCUM thread somewhere about how completely panicked I was that it might have been twins. Turns out it was just one girl - she's now 15 months. Never had a boy, so I can't compare.

Mine were very high (can't remember exact numbers), had a girl. Also had HG, so there's that.

My HCG levels were High Enough that they went Looking for Twins. However they only Found one I had Horrible Nausea And I wanted to sleep CONSTANTLY!!! Seriously couldn't sleep enough and we had a gender scan done and It's a Girl I will come back and tell you if anything happens However Just thought I would share that

Not sure what the numbers were with the first pregnancy. 2nd pregnancy, they were in the 140,000s at 6 weeks, which is high. Both singleton pregnancies, both boys. Had way more nausea 2nd time.

Interesting. I was the OP for this thread and my higher than average HcG levels did in fact turn out to be a girl.

I had really low levels that stopped doubling before 6 weeks. Girl.

This pregnancy my numbers have been average. Morning sickness has been worse. Don't know the gender yet.

Surprised to see this post resurrected. I had originally posted above, and thought I'd update that this pregnancy (with much lower HcG levels) is the same gender -- another boy.

Mine were high and had a boy.

At 9 weeks my hcg level was 160,000!! They did an ultrasound and there was one baby and everything looked great I am now 12 weeks and my hcg has dropped to 70,000 which my Dr said was good. I'm looking forward to finding out what the gender is

Very high. Having boy.
