hcg levels, anyone help?

Post by kimbo »

hi,

i had my blood back today and the level was 817. my ET was on the 28/02 and my blood test was on the 15th March. Does anyone know if that is counted as 15 or 16 days after transfer ? ive heard that 817 is high and wonder if anyone can remeber their levels around the same time.

thanks for any help :)

Kim:

My hcg was 700 something 12 or 13 days after transfer. The Dr.s said it was high and could indicate multiples, though I am about to deliver a single baby girl in a little over 2 weeks. So it was not multiples, but we thought so for a little bit!

Good luck and congratulations!

Kim,

My HCG levels were (days post transfer):

Day 11 - 272
Day 13 - 596
Day 18 - 8626

I am currently 33 weeks pregnant with twin boys. I had red bleeding up until 7 weeks, so they did some early ultrasounds. They saw two sacks at 5 weeks, but did not acknowledge twins until they saw two heartbeats at 6 1/2 weeks. If you want twins, I hope you have them! We are very happy to be having two :D

I think March 15 is 15 days post transfer for you. Yes, the levels seem high, but you'll know more, I imagine, after your next test. And of course your first ultrasound. When will that be?

For more info on HCG levels, take a look at this website:

Good luck!

My scan is on the 4th april so i will find out more then. i would love twins but will be overjoyed whatever as long as its ok :) Im not having anymore blood tests Had to push for one) so wont know anymore until the scan, until then i will remain worried. i just want to see a heartbeat and know that it (or they!) is fine.
