Can you have normal hCG levels and still have twins?

By Andrea Rodrigo B.Sc., M.Sc. (embryologist).
Last Update: 10/20/2017

In some singleton pregnancies, women have lower than normal hCG levels throughout the course of the pregnancy without it being a reason to be concerned.

This applies to some multiple pregnancies as well: even though hCG levels will be higher than with a single baby, they will be high but not so significantly as typically in multiple pregnancies. The levels of the pregnancy hormone vary greatly from woman to woman, so answering this question accurately is difficult.
