For the mono/di ladies are you being monitored for twin to twin transfusion syndrome ? I am 13 weeks and was asking my OB to send me to maternal fetal medicine but he doesn't think it's necessary and told me to stop googling everything. I called me local hospital and told I am mono/di and the nurse said its better to get a referral from my OB and then they would see me at 16 weeks. I am so confused why my OB doesn't want to send me there.

Yes. We see an MFM every 2 weeks. I would definitely try to get a referral.
Di/di girls. Our twins were discovered at 17 weeks and for a few weeks they thought mono/di but at the anatomy scan they saw the dividing membrane line so they're di/di. It's just a very thin line.

When they thought mine were mono/di they weren't planning on sending me to a MFM. We have one in house so it would have been an easy process if I felt I needed one. I was also only going to be seen every 4 weeks, just like with di/di. I was prepared, however, to go in fighting for every 2 weeks. Turns out they're di/di so I didn't have to but that's what I was planning.
I had di/di boys and I was seen by a MFM starting with the NT scan at 12 wks- mostly every two weeks- (except between 14-20wks which was every 3 weeks since there were no issues) I had no issues until 31 wks when my BP went up over 140/90.

Yes, I went every two weeks to monitor for TTTS (every other time was also a growth scan) from maybe 16-30 weeks. Then I went for monthly growth scans and started twice weekly NSTs at 32 weeks. I would demand a referral and possibly find a new OB. There are more risks with mo/di twins.

I'm having Mono/di boys.
When it was discovered that I was having identical twins at my 8 week scan, I was immediately referred to a MFM because they have stronger sonogram machines, and we needed to confirm that there was a membrane separating the two babies. This is normal procedure at my OB for mothers carrying identical twins.
I've been seeing them every two weeks ever since. I'm 25 weeks now.
Even though I know it's more likely that they're fraternal, I can't help but think they're going to be identical because there are absolutely zero twins in my family. I guess we'll see soon enough!

@Jules_Shamblin I'm also having di/di girls and they told me it's quite possible they could be identical. There are also zero twins in my family, as well. They also told me because the membrane separating them is so thin, it could be likely. Not sure how true it is but I plan on doing the genetic testing after they're born to find out! I'd just really like to know for sure.
