Multiples

Know anyone w/sets of multiples?

I know of one person IRL who had spontaneous twins (frats) and then another set (frats again) and then a singleton. It made me curious...

Do you know of anyone who had more than one set of multiples??? 

DH and I want more kids down the road, and if we have to go the IVF route again, it made me wonder what the odds were. We plan to do an SET (single emb. transf.) but there's always the poss. of splitting...

Re: Know anyone w/sets of multiples?

  • I know someone who was pregnant with twins, lost one very early on.  Then she got pregnant with fraternal boys, and ended with fraternal b/g.  No fertility treatments with any of them.
  • yep, there are a couple of moms on here (or at least there used to be) with two sets of twins. i know a mom with a set of triplets and a set of twins (both spontaneous and fraternal - guess she hyperovulates!) and on triplet connection, there are actually several moms with multiple multiples.

  • yep...me.   I have two sets of spontaneous fraternal twins.  I hate telling people that IRL because they look at me like a two headed freak. lol
  • I grew up with a family that had two consecutive sets of identical twin girls. (Odds of having two sets of ID twins are 1 in 70,000.) There are also two families in my local MOTC with two sets of twins. One family, the two sets of twins are just 18m apart!

  • I met someone this week who has 2 sets of twins.

    I'm very glad i had my singleton first b/c if i had the twins first I think i would not have tried to get pg again (we did clomid/IUI for both Griffin and the twins).

    since we got pg with griffin with only one mature follie- and it was our first cycle- we knew we had a good chance for any mature follies we had to take with future cycles- so i was not going to do the IUI if I had more than 2 follies- I was only OK with having twins... We had 2 mature follies and they both took and got the twins!

  • I got pregnant with twins in January but lost both in March. We tried again two months later and we now are 4 weeks away from having two girls! Both sets were spontanous.... my husband now wants to try again and have twin boys. I think he is nuts!!!
  • I have a 2nd or 3rd cousin who had a set of twin boys, one of which died at birth, then had a set of twin girls. Both sets were fraternal.
  • My Aunt was pregnant with twins and miscarried them before the end of the first trimester. She then got pregnant again with twins- they are now 11 :)

    My SIL and BIL own a gymnastics academy that my twins go to and their coach as 2 sets of fraternal twins, 7 and 4.

  • My friend from HS had a singleton first, a set of identical twin girls, and then identical twin boys.
  • Yes.  There's a couple sets in my local MoM club.

  • Yes..me, too.  Typically I lurk, but I couldn't hold myself back from replying.

     I have 5.5 yo b/g twins via IVF.  A 3.5 yo girl singleton via FET.  And I'm 20 weeks with twins boys via FET.
