No, most pregnancies do not start out as twins. When the ovaries release two eggs and both are fertilized then will twins be born (fraternal/nonidentical twins). Or a fertilized egg may divide before implantation resulting in identical twins.

Fertanal twins, or fraternal twins, are more commonly born to women of African descent, with studies indicating that they have the highest rates of twinning. This is followed by women of European descent, while women of Asian descent tend to have the lowest rates of fraternal twins. Factors such as genetics, maternal age, and the number of previous pregnancies also influence the likelihood of having fraternal twins.

Monitoring hCG levels is just one part of assessing pregnancy viability and potential multiples.
