6 and a half weeks pregnant with twins

Hi everybody. My partner Heidi and I have been trying to get pregnant for a while. We tried five unsuccessful iuis with donor sperm, then moved on to ivf. The first ivf worked but I had a miscarriage, so this time we tested for chromosomal abnormalities before the transfer. I am now 6 and a half weeks pregnant with two girls with perfect heartbeats. So amazing to hear and see both of their heartbeats yesterday!!!! Yesterday was the first sonogram, so it was confirmed that both embryos took! I'm very happy but still in shock. Wasn't planing on two, but what a gift.

  • Congrats and welcome!  My history is very similar...9 failed IUIs, IVF got me pregnant but it ended in miscarriage.  I did a FET in April and am about 6 and a half weeks pregnant now.  My first ultrasound is Wednesday so it remains to be seen whether all is OK in there, but we're hoping it is, of course.
