Just a little poll whether your multiples were natural or from drugs/fertility medications!

britbswoo · November 2009

IVF we tranfered 2, both stuck and one split......twice Smile

jenn2929 · November 2009

IUI with gonal F

sunnybrook. · November 2009

My babies are 100% natural...we've had 11 u/s and there are no synthetic parts or organs

The word you mean is spontaneuos, not natural.

I used follistim and B2B IUIs.

lisa&andy · November 2009

All babies are natural. This question gets ask alot, here:

Natural and accidental.

BelleBaby · November 2009

IVF

2 embies went in, 2 babies came out!

jenn_darrin1515 · November 2009

Ours were spontaneous.

jbl126 · November 2009

We did one cycle of clomid. That is all it took.

sawyer918 · November 2009

Spontaneuos for us. My grandfather is a fraternal twin (not sure if that really affects anything).

spontaneous for us. runs on my mom's side of family, but my hormones were crazy while i was breastfeeding my daugther and when i quit. i think that is the real reason.

Ugh.

Ms.Scarlet · November 2009

Spontaneous for us.

MoMandA · November 2009

Ours were spontaneous. One of them is natural but I think that other one is made of synthetics.

mmbench · November 2009

Spontaneous

kelliwill · November 2009

Ours were spontaneous. I've never met a child that wasn't "natural."

Seriously??? WTF?? There is someone posting this Q every single week. What we are freaks on the bump as well - not just outside pushing that big stroller or that big belly around.

Suck it.

I think it is normal for people undergoing fertility treatment to assess their chances of conceiving multiples this way. I don't think that is a big deal since the OP is starting clomid. I just like to educate people about using the word natural.

And you will get attention everywhere and how you react to it is very important because it establishes how your kids will feel about themselves.

thanks.. yes this is why i was curious b/c i am going to be going through fertility treatments.. thank you very much for educating me on natural vs. spontaneous!

sourpop · November 2009

Natural and we did an IUI but one egg split.

Why do you view it as if you are a "freak"? If you think people are viewing you as a freak, then you are risking self-esteem issues with your LO, in my opinion. I think we are special and wonderful people for being blessed with multiples.

I don't get offended if someone asks me if my babies are natural/spontaneous or the result of treatment. Especially when someone is about to start treatment. What I don't like are the people asking how to get pregnant with twins because they really want them.

To answer the OP, my girls are spontaneous identical twins.

Good luck on your pregnancy journey!

#6 · November 2009

Ours were spontaneous due to a failed attempt at family planning. L was only 4 months old. So I also think mine were due to how fertile I was after just giving birth a few months prior.

DESXF · November 2009

OUrs were totally spontaneous (unexpected in any way) I have no history of twins in my family, so it was a total surprise!

And maybe this is just me, but none of these questions really bother me. I love talking about my babies and being pregnant with twins, its exciting!

kyluvsaj · November 2009

SO offensive. People get offended when they are asked if their hair color is "natural". What makes you think it is okay to ask us if our children are?

WTF?

Temp159135562506975 · November 2009

to the OP - i think you get the whole "say spontaneous" thing - and that even then many women don't like to be asked.

if you are asking b/c you are starting clomid- realize that most women who get pg with clomid do NOT have multiples- but those of us on this board all have for the most part- so it's kind of silly to ask on here... would make more sense to ask on SAIF of those pg from clomid how many have singletons and how many have multiples.... will give you a much better answer to what i think you are curious about.

FWIW- both my singleton and my twins pg's were from clomid. Took one cycle for Griffin and two cycles to get the twins (2 yrs later)

good luck to you!

Your children are very very cute!!! We have tried the clomid route, no ovulation so the RE is thinking injectibles starting dec/jan

GiGi1221 · November 2009

spontaneous- with no family history!

I'm guessing from her siggy that she's asking because she's starting Clomid so I think it's a valid question not just some weirdo being nosey.

My twins are the result of IVF/FET.

rach*champp*3-1 · November 2009

I don't find any of this offensive. I love talking about how my pregnancy was and my "miracle babies" as I like to call them. Ours were a complete surprise as we were not trying to get pregnant. I wish you tons of luck!!!
