Saw 2 weiners in the ultrasound yesterday!!!!

One of the boys has Single Umbilical Artery, but the ultrasound looked great. I follow up with another ultrasound in 4 weeks with the Pediatric Cardiologist so he can look at his heart.

90% of cases turn out to be completely healthy, my doctor said he thinks we are definitely in that 90%.

Saying prayers all day, everyday for my boys to be healthy and strong.

    Congrats, Melissa! I had my 2nd egg retrieval today, and they were able to retrieve 4 eggs. Hopefully, they will all be mature and fertilize. I go back on Tuesday for the embryo transfer. Fingers crossed that I'll get a little half sibling for your twin boys! :)

    Thanks, Melissa! Found out this morning that 2 of the 4 fertilized, so hopefully both embryos will be healthy enough to be transferred on Tuesday. If they both stick, we might both be blessed with twins! :)

    BTW...did you ever find out if there were other confirmed pregnancies with 12742?
  • melissaprestwood

    I'm not sure. No one replied with a confirmed pregnancy, I had a few replies with women trying.

    That would be so awesome if you had twins too. I am saying prayers for you!!!! Can't wait to hear your good news!

    Thank you ladies!!!!!

    Adambro...I'm patiently waiting to hear your news! :)

    I wish I could say that I was patiently waiting too, but there's nothing patient about it. The two week wait is brutal. It hasn't even been a week yet. Hopefully, these next 10 days will go faster than the first 4 have. I will definitely let you know as soon as I find out. They implanted 2 healthy looking 6-cell embryos, so I'm feeling really good about it this time!

    Thanks for thinking of me,

    Mandy :)

    Congratulations!!! I just logged on here for the first time in awhile, and was wondering if you got the good news of twins! That's awesome, couldn't be happier for you. I can't remember, did you do IVF or IUI? Just wondering because I am doing my first cycle with clomid, but because of my work (pretty long hours), would probably be better for me if it's a singleton! :-)

    I stayed super busy the entire time to keep my mind off the 2ww. I was exhausted by bedtime, so my mind was too tired to think about it. The last few days killed me though. LOL.
    9 more days. It seems like forever away, but will be here before you know it.

    Good luck adambro22, the 2ww is brutal. I start my 4th 2ww tomorrow.

    Melissa. How are the boys doing? How are you feeling? I am staying busy. Tww= torcher

    Unfortunately, the blood tests came back negative today. Hopefully, the doctor will give me the green light to try IVF again in April. 3rd time's a charm, right?

    Karin. I did IUI, it worked my first try.

    A_walton: The boys are doing great. I am feeling them kicking daily now, I can feel it with my hand now. I was feeling like popcorn popping and wasn't sure if it was kicking, til I had my hand on my belly one night and BAM swift kick! haha!

    Adambro: I'm sorry. I don't know what it feels like to get the negative, but I imagine it is never easy. It will happen for you, we're staying positive and wishing tons of baby dust!
