Ladies carrying boys- what were your first hcg levels?

[Tesh23]

Also did any of you break out? And how has your morning sickness been / did it go away and when?

 

[Redhead84]

Don't know my hcg, never had it done.

I had clear skin when I carried my son, same as this time (I don't know boy or girl) but did get very dark hairs on my stomach and legs.

Morning sickness lasted until 14 weeks and was pretty bad.

 

[Flannz94]

With DS my first (and only) HCG was 144 at 15dpo (I think)
I did break out a little, around 10 weeks, it didn't last long tho! I was also very lucky and didn't get morning sickness at all, but I did feel verrry tired early on.

 

[missbabes]

Don't know about HCG level as they're not really done over here.

Acne however I had a huge breakout with DS which lasted for the first couple of months. This time I'm expecting a girl and the acne breakout was bad again starting before I even knew I was pregnant and slowly disappeared at around 16 weeks.

Didn't really suffer too much morning sickness with DS, just the odd occasional bout of nausea but nothing that I couldn't handle, started about 7 weeks and was gone by 10 weeks. This time however my morning sickness was awful with bad nausea and throwing up every other day. That started about 5 weeks and started to subside about 10 weeks.

With my ds hcg was around 110 I think, I had no morning sickness what so ever!

This pregnancy we never had hcg confirmed, I felt constantly sick from around 6/7 weeks until end of 1st tri, although I never threw up. We are having a boy again!

I'm not sure of my HCG level. I've had clear skin (so far - fingers crossed it stays that way) throughout my pregnancy. I had pretty bad morning sickness until about week 12. I would occasionally get queasy until about week 16, but the last time that I actually vomited was in the end of week 11.

Never got my hcg levels done as I didn't find out i was pregnant until I was 2 months along. But I have still not had any breakouts at all. Hardly any morning sickness either. Some days I feel worse than others but as far as running to the toilet, I've only done that about 5 times this whole pregnancy.

I'm having a boy and had high hcg levels. Don't remember what exactly they were. But they were high enough to be in the twin range. So we were thinking it must be a girl. But no, one little boy. Never had morning sickness but I never did either with dd

 

[Avo82]

I'm having my 3rd son and all my pregnancies have been so different. 1st son sickness on and off till 12 wks. 2nd son no sickness at all. 3rd son quiet bad sickness until 14 wks. Craved different foods every time too, didn't get my blood levels checked tho xx

 

[winterbabies3]

With my 2 sons hcg were on the lower end but they did double. I had clear skin with both and morning sickness (never threw up) all day with only one of them.

 

[Septie]

With my first, very little sickness. With my second, more sickness, including several episodes of vomiting, up to 16 weeks. With my third, terrible terrible morning sickness with vomiting lasting beyond 20 weeks. With the third, extremely high hcg levels that increased incredibly quickly - were at twin/ triplets levels really, prob explaining the severe sickness. In all three cases, healthy boys.

 

[Tesh23]

Thanks for all the responses ladies!

 

[babyjan]

I didn't get hcg levels tested however I never broke out with both boy pregnancies but then again I'm not someone who breaks out! As for morning sickness it was horrendous both times! Starting both times at 6 weeks and lasting well beyond the 12 weeks mark! This pregnancy nausea and vomiting eased around 15 weeks x

 

[jtink28]

my two boy pregnancies have been completely polar opposites of each other. i didn't get my hcg tested with my first, but with this one, my beta was something like 35 at 11 dpo, and it then doubled every 21 hours!

with DS1 i wasn't sick at all - nothing, i felt great. i broke out a ton, it was horrible.
with this baby boy, i had terrible terrible sickness from 5 weeks - 15 weeks. i haven't had a single spot!

 

[minties]

I'm pretty sure my HCG was higher with my son, as I had FRERs where the test line was as dark as the control at 11dpo. I didn't get that with my daughter until about 18dpo.

I had the same amount of morning sickness with both kids.

 

[Christie2011]

HCG numbers are in my signature, first pregnancy was a boy, this time twin girls. No sickness with my boy. Been sick with my girls since 6 weeks. This week started off pretty bad sickwise, but ended decently. It's still coming and going this time around.

 

[BBsMommy2Be]

Also did any of you break out? And how has your morning sickness been / did it go away and when?

I do not know my hcg levels, but I did have a few pimple pop up randomly. Morning sickness went away, but now I am battling constipation and gas.

 

[Lynys1980]

I didn't have any sickness with this pregnancy and it's a boy. I also didn't have any with my daughter. I didn't have my hcg levels tested until I was about 6 weeks... so not really early at that point.

 

[zmzerbe]

My first son I had no morning sickness and my acne was crazy. I broke out terribly and often with him throughout my entire pregnancy. Don't have HCG levels from when I was pregnant with him.

Now I am pregnant with baby boy #2 and I was hit with terrible morning sickness from about 6-7 weeks until around 17 weeks and it still hits me some days. I have fairly clear skin this time around though, I get a couple of small things here and there, but not often. The only HCG I had with him was at 4 weeks on the dot and my level was at 72.

I noticed a few differences:

Boy: Bit of nausea. No vomiting. Leg/armpit hair grew really quick. Badddd skin. Heartrate about 140. Craved salty stuff and burgers lol.

Girl: Constant nausea and vomiting. Leg/armpit hair stopped growing pretty much. Clear skin. Heartrate always around 170. Craved sweet stuff like donuts.

Not saying there is any scientific evidence as to why but I did notice differences. However girls are supposed to produce more HCG and mine was only 135 at 14dpo which is classed as low.

This one is just a mixture. I don't crave anything. Just still vomiting all the time. Got really bad skin. Haven't noticed anything else. Heartrate is about 160 :/
