I have no idea what the cumulative effect is, but age makes you about 3 times more likely than average. The fact that you had a previous twin pregnancy is probably your biggest factor. Either way, you'll know tomorrow ... good luck
Apparently twins on your OH's makes no difference to your chances as it's only fraternal twins that can be passed down in your genes due to your ovaries releasing more than one egg at a time. Identical twins don't get passed down through genes as it's a fluke really 
Weird, I was reading up on that the other day! 
3wks+6 tomorrow, so close to 4wks! Ahh. I just want to be past that dreaded date already!

I am so anxious about twins because of my age and the fact I am still breastfeeding (9 times more likely to conceive twins while bfing). I worry with my history of having a 30 week preemie that I'd never be able to keep twins in long enough. If your scan comes up with twins, then I am really going to panic LOL.
Hi to all the other girls, and welcome to the new ladies as well! I hope everyone has had a great weekend! I got really behind on this thread over the weekend and had like 15 pages to catch up on this morning!!! I have just started feeling quite ill today for the first time....sitting at me desk sucking in the big ones trying to make it go away! I am very grateful i have my own office and am not sharing close spaces with everyone or it would get tricky to hide!!
Goodluck with the scan today Serenjay!
Charmed did you end up using that digi to get some info into your cycle?

Hi I got my bfp on 2/5 and today I'm 4+1. I had a chemical last July so I've been pretty nervous so far. My tests have been getting darker and I definitely have symptoms for now it's off and on nausea, hungry at night, slightly tender breasts and cramping. My husband is in the army and will most likely miss the birth. I am hoping for a homebirth! Due date is 10/18 and I have my first doctors appt this Thursday!

Sorry to hear your DH might not make it to the birth
I'll be home birthing as well
Yup army life and all that jazz. I'm worried now because I had just a bit of pink tinged cm this afternoon, then nothing all clear, then just now some pink (more brown/pink) spotting when I wiped. Just when I wiped though. Ugh I hate that my doctors visit isn't until Thursday
Hi DNA! Looks like you're only a day behind me! 
I'm really sorry to hear that Shelby Have you got someone who can be there with you? I can't imagine how difficult it must be with your OH being in the army.
I did take the digital, it showed at 1-2wks pregnant! I was a little surprised to see the words, really helped confirm it for me. That matches up with my dates too, so I'm confident to tell my GP that I'm most likely 4wks tomorrow when I see him.

That's great the digital Has reassured you
Afm, still really really tired and will have to set off early for work as the car is knackered. Thankfully the buses here are pretty good though. A friend is seeing about finding the parts hopefully cheaper than the garage quoted. Hopefully he can help as the garage price comes to more than the car is worth

So sorry all for the girl 
I've already told some people in work. I'm a carer in a retirement home for ladies and my job is full on. I can't help myself (although it did originally start at telling one close friend but somehow somebody else found out). What'll be will be, regardless of who knows Eh
Had a lie in this morning. Woke up feeling sick , can smell whatever OH is making downstairs. Just hope it's not for me...

Well girls im home!!
I had my scan..
No photo unfortunatly as they dont do them at the EPAU where I am but I have a happy little bean with a perfect little heartbeat.. I am measuring 6+2 so a day advanced so just renewed my ticker.. baby is 6mm
I go back in 2 weeks for an update..but still no scan photo... I see my midwife Saturday..see if she can get me to get a scan with photo
So can I change my date to October 3rd not 4th please
WOO HOO!!!
ps I am just having waves of nausea...fatigue..and boob pain. They told me not to worry about symptoms and sometimes we just dont get morning sickness as bad as we did with previous pregnancies etc..
My worst thing is aversions to most foods.. its getting difficult to make food.. so far beans on toast and cooked dinners are my nice meals. I have gone off mexican and indian also chinese food.. and garlic.. ewww!
