Hi

Just to let you know that I got one embie put in and have ended up with twins, we are not sure if the egg split (the doc is 90% sure of this) or they missed an egg in pick up and we got pregnant naturally - we weren't told not to have sex? ANYWAY I guess what I am also trying to say is I guess there is a risk of your egg splitting as well as a natural conception (triplets!), but I would never have believed any of this unless it actually happened to me.

There are a lot of risks that come along with multiples, and I know as someone who was trying it sounds good at the time but it is not only the medical risks that the babies don't make it - there are also high risks involved with premmie births, including disability. I think pregnancy is harder when you are a long term TTCer and they don;t want you to finally get the result only to lose them. There are also financial (who cares when you've been trying I know) and also logistical.

Please don't get me wrong, I am so thankful every single day for the amazing thing that happened to me, but I will be more thankful when I know they are safe and healthy, it will be so nice because hopefully they will be friends but I do worry that I won't be able to care for them as well and I am going to have a lot of trouble getting around alone as well as not being able to visit my mum who is interstate when I want (need two sets of knees to travel on planes). Anyway, just thought you guys should know there are genuine reasons the doc wants one healthy baby.

I really really hope you get a BFP very soon.
