Official TTTS dx

There is a definite TTTS diagnosis now. One baby is over 9cm of fluid, measuring 11oz, and showing a bit of an enlarged heart. Dopplers are fine on both for the umbilicals. The other baby is at 1.9cm of fluid, and measuring at 9 oz. The are refering me to the surgeon to look into getting the shared vessel cut between them and I am now scheduled for weekly visits with the MFM. Anyone go thru the surgery before? Can you tell me what to expect?

TTC since May 2006. After 3 failed Clomid cycles, 2 failed Injectibles/IUIs, 2 failed IVFs and 1 failed FET, we moved on to adoption!

  • I'm sorry sweetie.  TTTS is very scary and we went through that but did have laser surgery.  The TTTS foundation has a FB group that you can join for support and questions: https://www.facebook.com/home.php#!/groups/tttsfoundation/

    Many prayers for you and babies - keep us posted!

  • I had the laser surgery last year with my twins, no issues after at all. They were over 5 adn 6 pounds when they were born. I had to fly for 5 hours to get to LA to have surgery and I had to get a cerclage after bed rest. They are not sure that my cervix would have shrunk anyways or if it was becasue of the flight. I was awake and alert during the surgery which was surreal. Feel free to email me if you have any other questions jennikairv@hotmail.com
