Anyone know anything about HCG and twins?!

Yesterday, 23DPO, my HCG was 8147.

Back story - I already have 2 children, and have had 2 miscarriages back to back this year. Last miscarriage was June 17th at 7 weeks.

Fell pregnant again right away, no period. Sarted spotting brown over the weekend, called EPU on Monday and they got me in first thing next day for bloods which were 8147. The intention was to repeat them 48 hours later but they instead told me to go in for a scan first thing Thursday morning because that was much higher than expected. She said its around 60% higher than my 6 weeks bloods with my second child (lots of bleeding issues with him and he was fine) and much higher than what she'd expect for my dates. She said they want to scan ASAP to check for multiples?!

We have me dated at 5w6d today because that was when the miscarriage happened, its likely I'm earlier than that but the general consensus is that I can't physically be anymore than that. EPU think I would be 5w3d going by ovulation on 4th July, but also noted that my cycles are irregular so could be even earlier than that. Especially with the miscarriages messing with cycles.

Anyway, I'm worried its too early to see anything on a scan but she said with my levels they'd expect to see a sac (or two) at least.

Has anyone been through an even vaguely similar experience? Did your levels indicate twins? Has anyone seen anything on a scan before 6 weeks? I've googled everything I possibly can and thought maybe hearing some real experiences might calm the nerves a bit until tomorrow!

Hey lovelies, unfortunately not good news from me. Hosp ConfiRmed today I miscarriage, HCG levels are falling now and getting more pain and bleeding which is a shame as me and my partner wanted this baby so badly after trying for 2.5 years but hopefully we'll get a rainbow baby.

Honestly thank you for even replying to my messages guys, you eased my mind for a few days with your hopeful replies and stories but honestly you have all helped my mind and anxiety a little. God bless you all. Form this young mummy of 1 from UK.

@Chel194 I am so sorry to hear this. Hope you're as okay as you can be. Have been there before and it's a bewildering and sad time. Hugs. The miscarriage support groups on here are good xx

I had a scan at 5w 5days for a bleed and my hcg levels were at 11,000 so the potential of twins was questioned - the sonographer could only see a sac and yolk at that point. Seen the heartbeat 7w 5days, now holding him in my arms at 5 months old.

Best of luck 🥰

What happened?

Hello! The second sac never amounted to anything, I bled heavily for a few days as it passed and was monitored but the other sac was fine. Baby remained happy and healthy throughout my pregnancy and I had my 3rd lovely son in March 2022 😊
