Twins or strong singleton?

Question

I’m 38, and just got my first ever positive! My HCG at 13dp5dt was 1028, and at 17dp5dt was 5797.
My first ultrasound is coming up on Monday, but I’m just curious as to whether others have had high early HCG values and what they ended up having (singleton, twins, etc.).

Answer

It could be twins, but it’s also possible to have high hCG that early with a singleton. With my first baby (natural conception), I did my first beta at 17dpo and it was 1,100. I believe with IVF, 9dp5dt is equivalent to 14dpo, so if I was translating to IVF dates 17dpo would be 12dp5dt (I think?). My hCG continued to skyrocket after that, but it was just 1 baby.
