Twins?...🫣

meandbabybean · August 2024

Hello!
I have a 23 month old and my husband and I decided to start trying for a second baby. The last day of my last period was July 7 and we started trying in my last ovulation cycle. On Wednesday, July 31 I had horrible lower back pain and my app said it was the first day that I could possibly get my period. I took 2 pregnancy tests (one Wednesday and one today) and they are both positive! This would mean I am only 3 weeks pregnant. Yesterday I had slight nausea in addition to the lower back pain. With my first, I had zero symptoms before 5 weeks and had negative tests even with a missed period at week 4. Nausea and cramping came at week 6.

Does having such strong symptoms and very positive tests (the lines are STRONG) mean I have elevated hcg and there are twins in there?! Anyone else experienced this? I can't get in to see my doctor until next Thursday the 8th and my dating ultrasound won't be until week 10-12...I'm FREAKING OUT.

It probably depends on when you actually ovulated. I have a friend that ovulates twice a month! So if you ovulate early and conceived right away, you could actually be further along than you think

or it could be twins! Wishing you the best ❤️

None of this will determine twins. The ONLY way to know is ultrasound.

I had very early symptoms as and caught my pregnancy at just 3 weeks. I had an ultrasound 2 days ago and I only saw one little baby in there but my symptoms have been so strong. You won’t know for sure without an ultrasound so try not to stress too much. I still stress I may see a 2nd baby when I go back in 2 weeks. This is my second pregnancy and my first I miscarried. All your hormones can just cause you lots of overthinking and worrying. Try your best to focus on the things you can control and have knowledge of right now. No need for extra stress mamas. You got this!!

I’ve been pregnant with twins and a single baby, and yes, the line showed up darker and earlier with the twins. I wouldn’t say that ALONE is enough to indicate twins, and every pregnancy is different, but yeah it’s a thing. Pregnancy symptoms also came on faster and harder with the twins… I had symptoms almost immediately and I was in agony by week 6. With the other pregnancy I basically coasted the whole time.
