POSITIVELY PREGNANT, BUT HIGH BETA... TWINS?

[allycory]

Calling out to any twin mamas through IVF - My first IVF, I was blessed with a beeeautiful little girl (she is 10 months now)... and now I just went through a successful FET and just got my first beta result of 256 - dr. mentioned the word twins.... ahhhh!  I won't find out until 3 weeks from now and am feeling blessed with whatever gift I am given... but trying to prepare myself for the multiples factor... Does someone have any thoughts on my beta #?

Thanks Diana.  We go through so much, ya know, and to get to this point just makes the worrying intensify.  I guess I should get used to this for the rest of my life with having a child!  :)

I was so nervous too! I even went as far as nightmares lol!! hang in! it will be ok!!

I had my first beta yesterday 10pt6dt and my beta was 132 and the nurse said that is the number they typically see at least 2 weeks past transfer.  We only transfer 1 blast but they aren't ruling out the possibility of splitting, although it's probably not likely.  I have my 2nd beta tomorrow and I don't know why, but I am nervous.

Thank you!!
The he only was one strong sac and yolk!! i am 5weeks 2days! he said their might be  a twin hidding but its to early to tell!!! I am just glad he saw one and that its doing great! we go back Oct 9 and he said by then we can see the baby move!!

11 dpt my first beta #'s was 700, 13 dpt # was 1330 and I am pregnant with triplets.  Goodluck!

Good Luck tomorrow!  Beta #s can be deceiving...  I had higher #s than you, but we only saw only one healthy baby in there...  We are just relieved to see a strong heartbeat :)

My first beta was 164, 2nd 355, 3rd 850 is the numbers to low for twins?

Ok... so I got my second betas today - first betas were 256, second betas were 470... similar to your, huh?  Well, we will see in a few weeks :)

They tested me 11 days post transfer of 2 embryos.

Hi, congrats!! My beta on 13DPO was 206 and I'm now almost 6 weeks with twins!  :)

Hey, congratulations!!! =)  What wonderful news!  I agree with Piggy. My beta #s were closer to yours.  My first one was 248 and my second was 420 & I'm now almost 11 weeks pregnant with twins.  So, the beta may not be a good indicator, but your first one and mine are pretty close ;-)  Congrats & best wishes!!!

Ok... That is good to know - your beta # was HUGE!  I will try not to obsess over beta #...   Having a 10 month old already through my first IVF I was not expecting the word twins mentioned by my dr today - I guess I will wait until the sonogram...  Thanks for your info :)

First off, congratulations!  My first beta was 1828, and my second was over 3000 and 2 weeks after that we saw twins!  I have asked many people, and many said they had low numbers and got twins!  I also did IVF, but my doc said he would not speculate about any numbers until the sonogram.  Hcg numbers can be decieving....  Good luck!!!!!
