Twins?

sweetc235

hi all! I’m about 9 weeks along w my first ultrasound next week ( I know, “just wait until then and see what the doctor finds”) but I can’t shake the feeling of twins.

i got my first bfp very early at 8 days before my period was due (32 day cycle). My period is extremely regular, down to the day. I feel like my belly is out more than it should be, and my symptoms seemed to start almost immediately. Could these be signs of twins to come?

Every pregnancy is different and symptoms can be intense regardless of how many babies are in there. Good luck waiting.

I had an early bfp at 7dpo, which I knew to be exact due to temping. My hcg levels weren’t out of the norm. The first was 150, the second 300 and the third close to 700. I didn’t have symptoms until around 7 weeks and I had zero “gut feeling” of having twins. I actually had two scans where only one baby was visible. Yet here I am, 19 weeks with boy/girl twins. There’s no rhyme or reason to it, so really, you’re just going to have to wait until your scan. Good luck!

Last pregnancy I got a BFP at 8DPO and I felt nauseous the night before my BFP. I was sicker with that baby than any other pregnancy. I was only cooking one.

I was less sick with my twins than my other 2 singletons, so there really is no way to tell from symptoms how many are in there.

I had an intuition of twins early on - it was a singleton.

I got a bfp at 7 dpos (I was temping, so I knew for sure) with my son.  I was horribly sick immediately.  My HCG was on the higher side too, making me need an earlier scan than we were going to do, and there was just one.    The signs mean very little.

I feel like everyone goes through a sort of "omg it's twins" thing while waiting on that first scan.

My twins are one now but my hcg and belly size were the same as my four single pregnancies before them. I didnt look pregnant with twins until 20 something weeks.

Yes, they could be signs of twins. They could also be signs of a singleton pregnancy.

I’m one of those who just “knew” I was having twins. Was too impatient and went to doctor to confirm and I was right. But one is very small and measured behind and doctor couldn’t find fetal pole. Going back in a few weeks and really hoping baby B holds on and has grown to develop a heart beat.

With my twins, I only knew because the previous pregnancies I had had, my progesterone was only in the high teens and low twenties. When they drew blood at my missed period, my levels were like 50+! This was back before I had my tubes tied and had to do IVF so no meds in that round. I read that progesterone being that high was a sign and sure enough at my first US around 6wks, it was confirmed. HCG was pretty normal and I was never really sick or had extra symptoms than any of my other pregnancies so nothing out of the ordinary other than the progesterone numbers being so high. Now that I am doing IVF, I can't rely on that anymore! lol...
