Multiples

Intro :)

We found out a few weeks ago that we're having twins, but I have been reluctant to post over here for some reason, fearing that we'd loose one. This morning we had our second ultrasound where we heard heartbeats (170 & 142), so I'm feeling a bit more confident that A&B will both stick around :) B is measuring 3 days behind A, but hopefully will catch up and keep growing strong.

We were part of an IVF study that my RE was conducting, so they did PGD on the blasts (we didn't get the results until way after transfer), and because they test the chromosomes, they were able to determine sex-so we know we are having one boy and one girl (we'll have to wait to find out which is which-that they don't know) :)

I'm sure I'll have lots of qs as things progress-but everyone here seems to be a wealth of information :)

TIA ladies :)

Re: Intro :)

  • Congrats!!!  That's so exciting to get to know what your having already!  I presume that you also know that your LOs are free of certain chromosomal abnormalities as well, how wonderful!

    Oh yes-I totally forgot to say that-both twins, plus our frostie (girl) are all chromosomally normal which really is a relief (95% accurate). Hopefully it will make the NT scan much less stressful!

  • Congratulations...how exciting! Welcome...the ladies here do seem to be a wealth of information.

    I'm pretty new here too...started with quads but found out yesterday during an u/s that one isn't developing so we're now at triplets. I'd love to know if they're boys or girls...

    TTC since 4/2009 (with RE since 8/10) Got pregnant on our own 12/09. MC 3/2010 IUI #1 & 2 unsuccessful (Sept & Oct 2010) IVF #1 9 follicles, 5 eggs, 4 fertilized, 4 transferred. Chemical pregnancy. Bad news received Thanksgiving 2010. IUI #3 Chemical pregnancy (12/2010 double IUI) IUI #4 Success! (2/7/2011 & 2/8/2011 double IUI) ultrasound 3/8/2011 determined there are four ultrasound 3/17/2011 showed one not developing so we're down to 3 unltrasound 3/23/2011 showed Baby C had stopped developing so we're at twins. Same ultrasound showed good measurement and heartbeats for babies A and B. Due date is Oct. 31, 2011 (for singleton so twins will probably be earlier) BabyFetus Ticker
  • Welcome and congratulations!

    Super cool about the study you are in.  It's nice to know the genders so early (if you were planning on finding out), but really nice to know about any abnormalities up front.

    There are a few of us on here from NJ. Happy pregnancy!

  • That study is really neat! I definitely think half of my stress the first trimester was wondering if they would miscarry due to chromosomal abnormalities, so that takes a lot of the stress off of you! Good luck with the pregnancy and can't wait to hear who is who!
