Ghost/Ladies: High beta #question

Post by sabi »

Ghost/Ladies. On June 17, I had two blasts transferred. June 29th was my first beta-13dp/5dt The number was 1,901. I even called the clinic just to make sure that number was correct & by God it was! Is this number an indication of multiples?

Thank you so much for your time.

That's almost certainly a multiple. Very high even for twins.

Thank you Ghost for your reply. Thanks Tammy!

Ghost,
Should I be concerned about this high # and a molar pregnancy, or is it to early?

Thanks Again,

Although we have had a few patients with hCG as high as yours or even a little higher, I have never seen a molar pregnancy at my clinic in thousands of pregnancies. They are very rare.

Just a note of sincere thanks to ghost & all you ladies who answered my question!

2nd beta was today 17,000 @ 19dpo5daytransfer. Ultrasound is July 17th. I think multiples too.

Just so happy with the high numbers!
