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!
Last ditch FET resulted in BFP, and identical twin girls!

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!
