[angel of wishes]

I did an FET on 7/31/08..... my first beta at 11dp5dt was 1175.......I was in shock! And so happy obviously!
Now my 2nd beta is in....exactly 48 hours later at 3975!!!
I don't know what to make of these numbers........should I just be happy and thankful???
As of right now we are thrilled.
Thanks for any input!

Sounds wonderful! High numbers like that are usually associated with a multiple.

There is one very rare problem that can be reflected in extremely high hCG values, but yours are not so high that I would be concerned about that. While yours are higher than most, I've seen much higher.

Looks like all good news to me.

Ghost, Did you mean molar pregnancy/GTD , does it occur with IVF ???

Yes, and yes. But it's so rare, I don't want anyone fretting over it. I've seen hCG values about twice as high as the high values we are discussing here, we bounced around the idea of a possible molar, but no, it was just twins. Molars are even higher. In many thousands of pregnancies, we've never had a molar. But yes, they can occur with IVF. I think more people get hit by lightning than have molar pregnancies after IVF.

Thanks, Ghost. That was informative.
