Q: High HCG at 5 weeks

My HCG was 16,996 at 5w4d. My levels have been tripling every couple days instead of doubling. Anyone else have high HCG? And what did it mean for you?

My levels were 33,000+ at 6w0d and I had twins initially. Because of my high numbers I had an early scan at 6w4d and they found 2 gestational sacs and 2 yolk sacs but only 1 fetal pole with heartbeat. Higher numbers don't always mean multiples, but they are a big tip off that there might be more than 1.

My HCG at 5 weeks, 3 days was 1700 and at my 6 week ultrasound we discovered twins. I only had my HCG level done once so I can't tell you how fast it doubled. There is this myth larger HCG numbers point to multiples but that's not always the case.

Mine were a bit over 60,000 at 6w exactly with my first child and there was just one healthy little bean. =) My doctor said 15,000-30,000 was average for 6w

It could be a very strong bubba, multiples or molar pregnancy although that's unlikly odds are 1 in 1000. Your numbers sound encouraging. Maybe twins. Good luck. They are high numbers :-) enjoy
