What About Crick?
So…my comments on betas on 14 dpo were a bit…premature. I was using a cached version of betabase that day, since the genuine article wouldn’t load, and wouldn’t you know it that things on the actual site are a bit different. You see, they separated out their twin pregnancy stats from their triplet stats, giving a whole new picture to the twin stats.
My stats & theirs are below. I will leave you to draw your own conclusions about the relative likelihood of there being two occupants to my uterus at present, vs. one. I’ll give the triplets or more stats too, for grins, but that’s of course vanishingly unlikely unless one of the blasts split.

FWIW, my betas have always been significantly higher than the singleton average and at or above the multiples average, and each time there’s been one occupant (healthy or not). This time they were QUITE high and I was worried all the way up and through my third u/s, convinced there was another sac hiding somewhere. Unless it’s GOOD and hidden, there ain’t! 😉
So I think Rosalind is in there all by her happy self! Go Rosalind!

Would you like me to mention that my cousin (after multipe IVFs) is now pregnant? With Twins? And that they’re both boys? Heh.

Seems to me like the speed of doubling in combination with the number is a tad more indicative than just the number alone. And you did have a nice fast doubling. And a high second beta. So it’s entirely possible that Crick is still hanging around. Or not. It’s impossible to tell before u/s of course, but so interesting to speculate.

Lovely numbers, lovely rise. Are you having a 3rd?

I had a very fast doubling time too! 🙂
