Understanding HCG Levels After IVF: 12 DPO

Question
I just had my hcg levels taken at 7 am 12 days past retrieval from ivf. my levels were 185.4 is that a little high for 12dpo. I had two embryos transferred on day 3. Is it possible I might be pregnant with twins?

Answer
Hi Brandy,

That is a good level at 12 days post retreival.  We can't interpret how many are there based on the levels.  It is too early.

Good Luck,
