Get out the diapers, get out the pins...

Because holy fucking shit, I'm pregnant with TWINS!!!!

TWINS!!!!!!!!!!!

I am 5w2d pregnant with two babies.

We saw 2 gestational sacs [i]and[/i] 2 yolk sacs!! One is measuring right on track, the other is 1 day behind.

OMFG!

And see, with our last pregnancy, we had a gestational sac measuring 4 days behind, and a yolk sac too small to measure. I totally saw the yolk sacs without even needing to squint this time! They're huge!! (Ok, they're each about 2.5mm, but still, HUGE compared to anything I've ever seen like it.)

My husband and I were just completely gobsmacked. Prior to this, (as most of you know), we'd had three previous embryo transfers of 2 lovely blastocysts each, and no babies to show for it. We honestly never, ever thought our 3dt of 3 "ugly" embryos would result in multiples--we didn't even really think we'd get one.

Of course, we're nowhere near out of the woods yet, but...

Holy crap, you guys, I'm pregnant with TWINS!!!

Also, I've got a sinus bleed, in my uterus but not really in the gestational area. My RE thinks it could have been caused by the 3rd embryo or maybe just bad luck. It's likely the culprit of my bleed the other day. He says it usually resolves on its own, but to stay on my aspirin.

And because my ovaries can't leave well enough alone, I've got a hemorrhagic (actively leaking blood, too) cyst on my left ovary.

But holy crap--TWINS!!!!!

(And here's how you know I've had a previous loss--my 2nd thought after HOLY FUCKING SHIT was "If one of them never gets a heart beat, we still have one.")

Congratulations on the twins! guess since they weren't great quality they were discounted to "2 for 1"?

OMG! Congratulations!! Yay for twins!!

When I was pregnant again after my miscarriage, I had a hematoma in the gestational sac that caused bleeding until 13 weeks. Though I was convinced I was losing that baby as well, I didn't, and she is now 7. It's terrifying to have that happen after a loss, but it turned out fine.

In response to your comment, no twins don't run in our family...nor does red hair...

But we found out on friday that the "seeds" have reddish hair and blue eyes. And almost every day after that on tv or in real life I have seen twin girls with reddish hair. Its insane :)

WooHoo! What great news! May everything work out like it should and you have an excellent 9 months (or at least as long as you can for twins).

Guinevere said...

Congratulations! I hope things continue to go smoothly for you and both embryos!

And I'm not surprised, since I'd be deeply shocked to find a singleton pregnancy registering a BFP at 7dpo. :)
