High progesterone & hcg levels, twins?

[tinks80]

I've just found I'm pregnant, only about 4weeks got my first positive test at 9DPO

I had a scan around ovulation time which showed 2 very strong corpus lutems one on each ovary, I the has another one at 11DPO due to pain, & it showed 2 corpus lutems still, but the one on my left was massive.... The sonagrapher said there's a very very high chance I'm preg with fraternal twins, it's to early to see anything, but she's pretty confident given there still 2 corpus lutems & my progesterone is 196!

My question is for those of you who found out early, what was your progesterone level & did u have 1 or 2 corpus lutems?

I'm anxious to find out

My hcg was 41 at 11DPO & 174 at 14DPO doubling time of 33hours or 1.4 days!

my HCG levels rose pretty normally and I actually had to take progesterone during the first tri because it was low so I levels dont really tell you anything as most of the girls here will say...women with only 1 can have crazy high levels and women with multiples can have "normal" or even low levels......good luck though...def keep us updated!

I don't know about the corpus lutems or progestrone I was on progesterone suppositories as I had IVF but tests did increase rapidly I went from having a barely there line at 9dpo to a positive as dark as the control line in just 2 days my hcg was up in the 400's when I got them checked at 14dpo so not overly high but you never know!!!! Keep us updated xx

Hello Tinks80,
First of all congrats!
Now regarding your question, I have fraternal twins, a boy and girl. With them I tested positive a week before AF was due. Due to spotting I went to get a sonogram, only to find out I was pregnant with twins at 6 weeks. They knew instantly that they were fraternal due to the fact that I had 2 corpus luteums, one on each ovary. After finding out I immediately started taking Progesterone, due to that I due to a couple of previous miscarriages I had but did not get to use and I figured that my progesterone was the culprit and it did not hurt to use it. Luckily enough it worked and thankfully I have my rainbow babies here today that are 3 months old

That's a crazy high progesterone level! Mine was 26 at 14 dpo and my hcg was 297. I had two follicles that released and you could see them when I went in for my 7 week ultrasound still.

Yep ive already started the progesterone pessaries, due to losing our twin boys back ijanuary, figured it won't hurt at all, & my dr is happy for me to do so given my past history

Thanks for letting me know about the corpus lutems I've struggled to find anything on google about this, except everyone well 99% of people with a progesterone over 110 have all been dx with twins

Any update Tinks? When do you have your scan?

 

[LoveSeel]

My progesterone and hcg levels were very high at the start of my twin pregnancy too. I was fairly certain I was having twins, but we didn't have a scan until 11 weeks verfiying.

Congrats on your pregnancy. Having twins is amazing, but I unfortunately had a lot of complications in my pregnancy because of it (but there of plenty of women who do great). If you are having twins I pray you won't encounter any issues. And if you're having a singleton you're at less of a risk, and of course I still wish you well!

Keep us updated!
