Q&A: How can I tell if I'm having twins?

by Dr. Gerard M. DiLeo

How can I tell if I am having Twins?? My HCG levels have more than doubled in a week from 27460 to 60324. They said that would out me around 7-12 weeks. However, The Blood Pregnancy test on Aug 12th 2002 was a negative. It just doesn't add up. Is it possible I could be having twins??? What are other signs?????

It's not uncommon for HCG to double every 48 hours or so. Therefore, your increase in a week isn't overshooting at all. An ultrasound in about a week should tell you if it's twins or not.
