[star25]

Oh yes, good luck with scans today ladies!

I will find out the sex too

My first scan is Tues at 7w5d, so nervous already for it, praying to see a heartbeat

 

[Catalyst]

I had my scan. It went well.... but wr got big news that shocked us! My hands are still shaking!!!
TWINS!!!! she could see two hesrtbeats. She almost missed it with one of them, she was saying that there looked as though one had started but hadnt made it and then boom she turned a litle and before she could say it I saw the flicker!! It was hard to measure though but the other was 5mm and that makes me 6 weeks ph.. but that means that I got positive 3 weeks on and that makes no sence. So Im keeping the ticker as it is for now and just going to wait for next scan in 19 days! See if we get better date then.
Omg omg omg.. baby #3 and #4!!

 

[star25]

Wow catalyst what an update! Double congratulations! X

 

[Maries_s]

Wow Catalyst what a big surprise. Congratulations! Did you conceived natural?

 

[Catalyst]

Thank you. It will take time to adjust to the idea. And also think off all the changes. Wr thought we were almost all set since we kept alot of sutt when we had the boys but now we will have to buy and whay we did need before knowing they were two we have to buy double!! And change cars!! Hahaha

 

[Tui]

Wow, so many twins popping up. Congratulations!

 

[Lunabelle]

Congrats, what an amazing surprise!

 

[Weebles]

Ahhh Catalyst, that's doubly awesome! Makes sense why you got such an early BFP too! I'm still secretly holding out hope that I have another hiding, lol. What a blessing!

 

[Catalyst]

Wow Catalyst what a big surprise. Congratulations! Did you conceived natural?

Yes all natural

We started ttc in july and got pg but I lost it 10 days after geting bfp. Then I got one period after the mc bleed and we got og with those two. The cycle was so weird (spottiny that never happens and weird opks that has never happened before (used them when ttc the boys) and also geting ovulation symptoms and pain week later) so I was sure it would not happen. My cycles were 31 days wit 35 days now and then. At cd32 I got bfn but on cd35 I got positive.
So this has been so... mind blowing.

 

[Tui]

I got a very early bfp this time. I'm a little scared I might be joining the twin group myself, lol. I'm sure we will cope whatever happens. Find out in 8 days

 

[Maries_s]

Why everyone has the appointment early and mine is in 3 weeks?! Haha so jealous of you girls! Congratulations!

 

[thexfadingpat]

I haven't even gotten an appointment scheduled yet. Buy it likely won't be until 10 or 11 weeks.

 

[Mrstruth]

Congrats Catalyst on your big news! I am so happy for you.

Welcome to all the new ladies...

Afm: So I went to my appointment today. Which was also a new appointment with a new clinic. They were suppose to have me in to ensure they were able to see a sac and to get my numbers. Since I am a tubal reversal mom and previous C-Sections. They feel I am a higher risk. As well as they couldn't not see anything on the scan last Thursday. So my beta are as follows 10/31/2016- 457 11/03/2016- 2347 and Today's numbers are 8032. I didn't get a ultrasound because she was unaware of what was going on and came in the room with one the older roll around machines. The midwife advise that my numbers are great but with my Uterus being tilted and the machine is older. I have to come back Friday at 1 for a Ultrasound scan. I am soooo nervous and scared. She is thinking that I am more of between 5-6 rather 6-7 and believe I had a early positive. I tested 10/26 negative. I tested 10/28 positive with the early response. So I truly don't know

I get scanned early due to repeat miscarriages.

 

[808malia]

Congrats on twins Catalyst!!! What a surprise!

Afm, I will definitely be finding out the sex asap!

Okay, so I will start out with the positives, I like the OB DR, he is very nice, soft spoken and has a calming quality! He is a petite, short thin guy, he might be Asian or Philippine. The great news is that I liked him right away once we started talking. I told him about my IVF cycle, and history up to this point. We talked about my short cervix and he suggested a cerclage before I could even bring it up! So he is 100% on board with the cerclage. He told me that it was optional to do a US since it was early and I had once last week,but I asked to have one because I told him I was worried about the smaller twin's growth and I was anxious to see heart beats.

So here are my ultrasound pictures. I will start out with the good news, the baby that was measuring on track looks great, we saw fetal pole, yolk sac and a healthy heart beat, beating away! The smaller one was still smaller with no heart beat and the DR didn't think he even saw a yolk sac. The second one was harder to see because of the positioning and the Dr said even though his bedside US machine is okay it isn't that great. So he was concerned with the development/growth of the second one. He gave me a RX to have a US done at another place with a better US machine to verify what is going on with the second sac. I scheduled the next US for next friday 11/18 at 12:15. So keep your fingers crossed and keep the second twin in your thoughts/prayers. Although most likely the second one just probably isn't going to make it and it will probably be just one baby.






So I am of course disappointed that the second twin might not grow and progress, but in a way I am happy that the one twin is healthy/ growing good with a strong heart beat! So it is mixed emotions. DH and I were getting ready for twins again and now it is looking like it might just be one baby!

My next OB appointment is Wednesday the 24th in the morning.

 

[Tui]

That must be hard hun, I will keep my fingers crossed for you. Glad you are being looked after so well though.

Congrats on your twins!!! How exciting!!! Wonderful news!!!

Hi everyone. I stumbled across this thread a while ago and I was nervous to join. I'm still a little nervous as I've had a some ups and downs but I really miss the support. For a little background, we were ttc for 11 months and got our BFP with my first medicated cycle. I had very low hcg to start (15) but as it was doubling normally it stopped being a worry. At six weeks I started spotting and all that was found was a totally empty sac measuring a week behind and some fibroids. At 6w3d I started bleeding, red with clots and went the ER. I was diagnosed with a subchrionic hematoma which is scary but.. We got to see our baby! It's there now just 3 days later with a heartbeat and everything. Wasn't allowed a picture since it was an emergency visit but it was such a relief. I'm still worried about the SCH, it's right next to the baby's sac and it's huge, almost the same size, but I go to see my OB tomorrow. I think even with all our worries everything's going to be okay.

Congrats on your pregnancy!!!! H&H 9 months to you! Welcome to the group 1I want to add your name and due date to the first post!!! Do you know what your due date is??

Hi ladies!
Thank you for your kind of words.The spotting has stopped thanks God. I received a call from my PCP today and she told me I have a UTI so I'm thinking this was the reason of the spotting last Sunday. I'm going to start antibiotics (Amoxicillin) tomorrow 3 times per day. I also resolved the problem with my health insurance, I made an appointment with an OB/GYN but is not until December 2th.
Welcome to all the new ladies and congratulations on your BFP!

That is great news that your spotting has stopped!!! Fingers crossed that is the end for the rest of your pregnancy! Sorry about the UTI! Hopefully it will clear up quickly for you!

Welcome Annio, congrats on the bfp!

And welcome Weebles, glad you go to see your baby woth a heartbeat!

Catalyst when is your scan? Is it today?

I got my bloodtest results back from this morning the hcg has been doubling really well. It was now at over 3000, last wed it was at 125. I need to book an ultrasound for the 21st, just waiting my DF to confirm if he can take time of from work. No way I will go on my own as last time I went on my own and had to bear with the bad news alone as there was no heartbeat and that pregnancy ended in a miscarriage. I hope we will get to experience a more positive ultrasound visit this time. But I can understand your anxiety Catalyst! Good luck, I hope you get good news!

Sambatiki- I will def want to find out the gender! On the 6week ultrasound I will also ask the doc to locate the placenta as according to the Ramzi Theory if it's on the right it will be a girl and if its on the left it's a boy. Will be exciting to see if it ends up being true or not. It worked for my sister

Congrats on great blood work numbers! I am so glad that your levels are rising like they should! I understand your anxiety because I have had a lot of it before my appointments and my blood pressure has been through the roof the last few visits!!! Uggh!! I hope that I can find a way to calm down so I can get my BP down!

Congrats Catalyst on your big news! I am so happy for you.

Sorry that you weren't able to get a scan today! I know that you were hoping for some peace of mind and I know how long the waiting seems like when you are worried! Big hugs to you! That is great that your BW numbers have been good though! That should give you a lot of hope! I will keep you and your baby bean in my thoughts and prayers!!

 

[star25]

Catalyst: Welcome to the twins club!! It is definitely exciting getting the news.

Wannabe: I am sorry you got some not so good news. I am crossing everything that can be crossed that baby #2 is just taking her time. When I had my first scan after the 2ww, my doctor told me that in his experience, my baby#2 wouldn't develop. Both are on track with strong heartbeats, so stay positive, it's not over till it's over.

I had a scare yesterday. I woke up and was on my way to the bathroom when it felt like a water balloon popped, and was bleeding very heavily with 2 very large clots. My dr wasn't in, but I got right in with another in the practice. Both babies are doing good, heartbeats strong and growth wise right on track. My mind automatically went to worst case scenario, but luckily everything is ok. I was put back on progesterone and am on bed rest until my next appointment on the 28th. I was so naive to think the emotional rollercoaster would end when we get our BFP
