we had our 2nd u/s on tuesday, 12/8 and received devestating news. the RE was not able to find a heartbeat (7w4d). last week there was only one fetal pole in the sac and yesterday and it appears the embryo split so 2 in the same sac. she was not find any activity and told me that twins in the same sac are very hard to carry to term and most end in a miscarriage. My RE has recommended either a D&C or wait for a natural miscarrige (no thanks).
I've been doing research and these twins are called Mono-Mono twins (Monoamniotic-Monochorionic or "Mo-Mo" twins).
Is anyone familiar with these types of twin?
I am scheduled to have another U/S next week before a D&C just to be sure.
thanks for listening...........

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss...
I am really sorry that you are going through this - and just sent you a PM. I have MoMo twins. Most do miscarry in the first trimester.
I am very sorry for your loss.
I am expecting MoMo twins so if you are looking for someone to vent to, i am here.
thank you and I wish you all the best during your pregnancy with your boys!
I carried Mo-Mo twins and didnt know it was such a big deal until about 2yrs ago. My dr. told me there were more risks involved and I had an U/S every.single week from 15wks on but was so busy and tired from working and being a new mom of our son who was only 4months old when we got pg again that I didnt think to question him. I trusted everything he told me and he wasnt overly concerned. I asked him later about it (he is my reg. obgyn as well) and he said that he almost never talks about chances of m/c because he has found it only causes the mom to worry and stress more and that is not going to help in a high risk pg.
Im sorry you are going through this. (((HUGS))))
I'm very sorry. I think I can understand the pain you're probably feeling.
