    Big hugs to you and congratulations on the birth of your beautiful babies. I am so, so sorry for your horrible loss. I know now must be simultaneously a wonderful and a devastating time for you both. I know someone who had PPROM like I did with my twins and she lost her son within a day of delivery, at 30.5 wks. Her daughter just celebrated her 1st bday and is doing great. I know the loss of one twin at birth is a unique situation with some very specific challenges, so if you'd like to connect with her, please feel free to PM me or to page me on this board and I'd be happy to get both of you in touch. Hugs again.
    IUIs #1-3 (1x unmedicated, 2x Clomid) = 2 BFNs, 1 m/c at 7w3d
    IUIs #4-6 (injects) = 3 BFNs
    IVF #1 = BFN
    FET #1 = BFN
    FET #2 = BFN
    IVF #2 = BFP, b/g twins lost at 20w due to partial abruption/PPROM
    IVF #3 = c/p 5w2d
    Long-shot Clomid/Prednisone cycle before next IVF = BFP, our beautiful, healthy girl born 6/26/13!
