Intro - IVF twins

Hi ladies! :-h

I'm a previous IF/3T regular. I'm currently 7 wks after IVF/FET of 2 embryos, and just found out 1/5 that we're having twins! We are thrilled (and still in shock!) that both hung on!

Most of my history is in my siggy, but for those mobile-- we were forced straight to IVF with PGD due to DH's low count related to a chromosomal abnormality. We had to test the embryos, as the issue is passed on to males and can cause miscarriage. Luckily, 3 embryos were good, 2 male and 1 female, and we were able to transfer one of each.

I'm so excited to join you! I've peeked around a little bit, but will search and lurk a TON I'm sure.

Nice to "meet" you all, and I can't wait to get to know you!

    No periods due to 17 years of ballet and distance running after college.  Zero response to 2 months of Clomid, little response to Letrozole.  IUI left with 9 cysts = too many viable eggs due to age.  On to IVF.  Low dose of all meds still produced 37 mature eggs 12.6.11.  Froze due to overstimulation.  

    FET #1.1 1.22.12 BFN.   FET #1.2 2.22.12=GRACE! (and a vanishing twin).  

    Grace Katherine born 10.25.12 @ 36w6w 6#14oz 19.5".
    FET #1.3 3.2013 BFN FET#1.4 4.2013 BFN. Never tried a fresh transfer.  Let's try, despite 10 still frozen.  
    ER 6.26.13 27 mature eggs, slight overstim. ET   7.1.13 ectopic, FET 2.1  9.10.14   TRIPLETS!!

  • Congrats and welcome! I can understand the shock, even as a fellow IVFer who transferred 2 embryos. It shouldn't have been totally unexpected, but somehow it still is! So very overwhelming.

    Happy and healthy pregnancy to you.

    Baby Boy #1 born 1/15/2010

    Babies #2 & #3 arriving Spring 2014 (EDD June 18)

  • Congrats! We transferred and they both stuck as well. We didn't really think that would happen. 

    But as someone else said twins rock!

  • Welcome and congratulations! My twins are not IVF but I've had friends who have done IVF and it is such a struggle. And of course there are many many IVF moms on this board! 

    I just wanted to comment about how crazy it is that you already know the genders AND you CHOSE which two to transfer - that's crazy!!! Don't tell my husband that you can do this, after growing up with 3 sisters, having 2 sisters in law, and now twin daughters, he wants a boy lol!
