Massive congratulations to you, you must be so so over the moon! x

haha OMG we felt the same way. Even thought with IVF and putting 2 embryos back you know there is a possibility but it is still weird to actually see it on the screen! it is still sinking in to us that there are two and it will be tough but how great is it!

I honestly thought that we was going to find one and I was happy with that but to find two I just can't put it into words. We feel that after all this time trying that we deserve two and it has made up for lost time. We know it is going to be tough on us as we already have a son and we have four dogs but we will enjoy every second of it.

Thank you Bumski, it's very hard to find the words to say exactly how we feel but it's as happy as we have been in a long time.

oh yeah i can see that being a little more stressful with having all that. How old is your son? yes i think anyone that has been trying for a baby wether it is one or two everyone deserves it. yes we just instead of going through this whole process again after we would have had one little peanut we just are doing it at one time and getting two for the price of one and just can't wait!

 

[Apple Blossom]

He is 11yrs old. I agree anyone who has tried for a baby especially through IVF deserves a good result at the end of it. I have seen so many lovely ladies have to go through so much to get a BFP and it can sometimes feel very unfair.

 

[joeys3453]

oh what a good age is he excited? yes i totally agree with you on that. people just don't realize how hard it can actually be to get pregnant.

 

[Apple Blossom]

He is not excited especially when I told him that it's twins, he will be all over them when they arrive though I can be sure of that

 

[joeys3453]

haha that is funny but yes i think little boys are like that. cause who wants a baby but yes when they are here he will be excited!

have you checked on any books or anything? I am not sure where to start for that and the stuff we will need with two!!!
