Hello,

I have had some good news today that my hcg levels have risen but they have more then doubled.. It was 344 at 10dp5dt and 1, 048 at 12dp5dt.. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what your hcg results where 2 days apart? Xx

I just wanted to say congratulations, that's fantastic news! I'm sorry I honestly can't remember what my hcg levels were, but I do remember when I researched it at the time finding that levels vary a great deal from woman to woman, and even pregnancy to pregnancy. The main thing is your levels have at least doubled (and are high) which is just brilliant.

I found this which gives a rough idea of ranges

Thank you so much for your reply, and thank you in doing my research on Google, I just pray it keeps doubling and I don't bleed again 🤞🏽 xxx

It's so scary in these early days/weeks isn't it. I used to try and keep reminding myself that having reached this point statistically you're far more likely to end up with a healthy baby than not, but I know that's a lot easier said than done especially if you've had previous losses. Masses of luck hun.

Chloe12122222 in reply to IVFat40

It really is easier said then done lol I've unfortunately had 1 miscarriage and an ectopic pregnancy so I'm still nervous about it all I've managed to book a scan in for the 3rd to see if it's implanted in the right place just to east my mind xx.. Have you had a baby through ivf then? Xx

IVFat40 in reply to Chloe12122222

oh hun I'm so sorry, what you've been through must have been incredibly painful. It's a million percent understandable that would leave you feeling nervous this time. So pleased you've got a scan booked in, I went a bit crazy on the scans (7, 8, 9 and 11 weeks!) but you know what they made me feel loads better so totally worth it. Currently pregnant through ivf with my first baby, 12 weeks tomorrow.

Chloe12122222 profile image
Chloe12122222 in reply to IVFat40

Ohh wow congratulations!!! I bet you feel loads better at the 12 week mark aswell.. I think I will do the same if everything goes well.. I'd be obsessing over it, so when yours next scan? Is the next one where you find out the baby's gender? Xx

IVFat40 profile image
IVFat40 in reply to Chloe12122222

Thank you so much hun 😊 I've actually had some extra blood tests (my crazy lady-ness wasn't limited to the scans lol) so I should find out gender next week.

Chloe12122222 profile image
Chloe12122222 in reply to IVFat40

Haha i dont blame you I'd probably be the same 😂.. Omg how exciting I bet you can't wait I didn't know they could find out that early xx

Congratulations! Mine were 160 at 8dpt and 394 at 10dpt. They seemed go up 2.5-3x every couple of days from then too. I think those numbers were quite high and I was even worried they could be too high or going up too quick (genetic issues, twins, giant baby - you name it (Google) and I worried about it) apparently not and so far it's an average sized healthy singleton. From what I read the numbers are massively variable and you just want an average doubling roughly every 2-3 days. In hindsight, I'd see the numbers you've had a great sign.

Chloe12122222 profile image
Chloe12122222 in reply to MrsOrangejuice

Thank you for your reply! Yes I don't know why Google says all these things especially when it's not true it panics people! I've not heard about the genetic issue tho!! Xxx

MrsOrangejuice profile image
MrsOrangejuice in reply to Chloe12122222

There isn't any link - don't let me start that worry for you! Your numbers are from experience a good thing x

Congratulations!! 🌈

Those are healthy numbers. Mine started very high (700+ at 10dp5dt) and rose quickly too. I’m expecting twins ☺️ But in general, as the ladies have said, so long as the numbers are doubling or more every 48 hours then that’s a good thing! The actual number varies person to person as well, some will have really high HCG and be having one baby and others may have lower HCG and end up with multiples!

Best of luck to you ♥️ Xx

Mine 12dp 1513 but after 48 hrs only 2283

Chloe12122222 profile image
Chloe12122222

Thank you for your reply ❤️ omg congratulations to you too!! Twins!! Did you transfer 2 or did the one split?

Yes I probably shouldn't research about hcg levels but it's hard not to study every detailed thing lol xx

XOXO13 profile image
XOXO13 in reply to Chloe12122222

Two embryos ☺️ It was our fourth transfer so we went for it… never expected both to stick so we are very blessed 🌈🌈

It’s so hard isn’t it! But don’t worry, your levels sound really healthy 🍀 xxx

Chloe12122222 profile image
Chloe12122222 in reply to XOXO13

Great news, mine were lower and more than doubled on the third test compared to the second. I was offered a fourth test and I said no as I couldn’t keep living in beta hell and waiting for a phone call every time. If that’s what you need then go for it but I’d say try not to worry about the exact numbers and be encouraged by the positive rise and look forward to that first scan. I know it’s hard xx

Chloe12122222 profile image
Chloe12122222 in reply to Llizzie

Omg yes how nerve wrecking is it waiting for that call!! Yes I was thinking that I thought about getting more bloods but I don't want to stress myself out so I'm going to wait for the big scan day xxx

Mine were as high as your I think I started at 400 for my first hcg and the numbers increased quite fast. I can’t remember by how much though when I went for my second hcg which was after two days. All I remember is I was worried. It all ended well though and had twins.

Chloe12122222 profile image
Chloe12122222 in reply to sandra81

Thank you for your reply, thats amazing did you transfer two embryos? Xx

sandra81 profile image
sandra81

The clinic advised that I transfer three on account of my advanced age. I think they doubted the egg quality. I was fortunate that two took.

Chloe12122222 profile image
Chloe12122222 in reply to sandra81

Wow three I didn't know they still did 3 embryo transfers at once! I even thought it was difficult getting 2.. I asked that question myself because my embryos wasn't great quality but they wouldn't let me xx

sandra81 profile image
sandra81 in reply to Chloe12122222

I did mine in South Africa.

Thank you so much for your reply, tbh I'm just trying to stay busy to keep my mind off things I think far too much xx

Kichwaa profile image
Kichwaa in reply to Chloe12122222

I transferred one egg and it got splitted and it was a day 3 embryo not day 5.

Lana2009

Congratulations!! That’s awesome!! I’d say that yours is pretty big jump!! The numbers should be roughly doubling. It’s definitely a good sign 🥰 I had hcgs done at 5w + 2 showing 9756… two days later I was 31296. I’m currently 8w with twins!

Xx

Chloe12122222 profile image
Chloe12122222 in reply to Lana2009

Thank you ❤️.. Did you have to transfered?.. And how far along was you when you found out you was having twins? Xx

Lana2009 profile image
Lana2009 in reply to Chloe12122222

I had 2 transferred. I was 6w +4. I had had two bleeds and my clinic brought my viability scan forward a week. I’ve got a private one booked for next week. Just to check. I’ve spotted everyday so far.

How many did you transfer? Xx

Chloe12122222 profile image
Chloe12122222 in reply to Lana2009

Aww so how far along are you? Yano I'm the same I have been spotting too how scary is it xx

Lana2009 profile image
Lana2009 in reply to Chloe12122222

I’m 8weeks tomorrow. Yeah the spotting is scary. But mine was after a bleed. As long as it’s brown, it’s nothing to worry about. Are you on progesterone? I found the vaginal pessaries irritated my cervix which they think caused my bleed. So I swapped to ones you can put in the back and it’s just tiny brown spotting now. Xx

Chloe12122222 profile image
Chloe12122222 in reply to Lana2009

Yes I'm on progesterone but I'm not to sure it was that. The day I started spotting was when I was rushing about cleaning the house and hoovering and the hoover has crazy suction so it was heavy so I put it down to that xx

Kichwaa profile image
Kichwaa in reply to Lana2009

With twins you bleed alot.I bled alot and one of the first bleeding is when I found out I had twins

9dp3dt hcg was 100

11dp3dt hcg was 275

My numbers were high we suspected twins (I transfered 3 third day embryos) but it's only one

And congrats!!!!

Chloe12122222 profile image
Chloe12122222 in reply to Jana483

Did your clinic suspect twins aswell?.. I read something that said your hcg levels could be higher after a loss.. I had a ectopic in April so I'm wondering if that's why maybe xx

Jana483 profile image
Jana483 in reply to Chloe12122222

I am soooo sorry for your loss😢

My clinic did suspect twins as well and was surprised to see only one baby

I didn't read anywhere that high numbers like yours means a loss and hope it's a strong twin pregnancy

😍

Chloe12122222 profile image
Chloe12122222 in reply to Jana483

Aww it's ok, ohh i only implemented 1 embryo so I doubt there wil be two in there xx..yea I didn't know that either but then again it's Google we are talking about..if I had a bruse on my arm it would say I was dying xx

Jana483 profile image
Jana483 in reply to Chloe12122222

I know it's unlikely but the embryo might have split?Google was my worst enemy through ivf I know exactly how you feel

If I were you I would relax and enjoy these high hcg numbers and think positively

😍

Maybe your levels doubled the day you had your bloods done but just after your bloods had been taken? I wouldn't worry about your levels they look fine im sure the clinic would say if they were concerned :) mine were 32600 at 5 +2 we are 17 weeks pregnant with twins that was the only time we had my bloods done only the one sample was taken as I was spotting and we didn't know it was twins at that point. I'm not sure what mine were in the early days xx

Chloe12122222 profile image
Chloe12122222 in reply to Jjleo

Yes possibly, I'm not to sure how it all works tbh I just got told they double every 48 hours lol.. God that really high.. When did you have your first scan? Xx

Jjleo profile image
Jjleo in reply to Chloe12122222

Yeah was a shock to find out it was so high bur I had been having horrendous morning sickness so it explained it with such high levels. I had my first scan at 7+2 xx

Chloe12122222 profile image
Chloe12122222 in reply to Jjleo

When did you morning sickness start.. I have no symptoms what so ever apart from my boobs are fuller xx

Jjleo profile image
Jjleo in reply to Chloe12122222

My morning sickness started at around 5.5 weeks and didn't go away till I was around 14 weeks! Hopefully you will be one of the lucky ones and not get it lol I do not wish that on anyone it is debilitating xx
