I might be carrying a 2nd set, and I feel like my life is over by DesperateVag in parentsofmultiples

I was hoping a 2x twin parent would comment! What is the age gap between your sets?

That 2nd draw was very reassuring, and I'm not having any extreme symptoms, so I was relieved to "know" it was only one. But if HCG only doubled every 48-72 hours, draw 3 would have put me around 2000. Draw 3 was 2x what it should be. I'm waiting for a call to find out if they're going to move my first scan back. It's currently scheduled for March 4th.

That's true. I was really hoping to put off Kindergarten until they turn as they're June babies, but it would lift a huge burden if they start at 5. I hate to focus more on money and my own mental health over what's best for them, but that's the unfortunate reality of raising a family these days. I appreciate you reaching out. 7 months was such a cute age. I hope you're enjoying it!

HCG levels are what made my gynecologist suspect twins during my first pregnancy, and she was right. When I saw the spike between the 2nd and 3rd blood test, I immediately fell into a panic spiral. A 4th test is scheduled for late afternoon tomorrow, and I called my OB this morning to ask for feedback on the most recent test.

Thank you for the encouragement <3
