I also had 2 embryo's but back (at all but 1 of my transfers - one resulted in DD) and with the last one at my 7 week scan you could clearly see 2 little ones in there.
It is really hard to tell by the symptoms though, I thought I would get more symptoms than with DD as I was carrying 2, but with DD my ms lasted for 6 weeks but with the twins I only felt c r a p p y for about 1 a week to 2 max.
I also didn't start to show with the twins until around 12 weeks and then I really popped, but this was earlier than with DD but I think it is pretty common to show a lot sooner with a second and subsequent pregnancy as everything is a bit looser IYKWIM.
As for the HCG/Progesterone readings, I have read that they say a high progesterone could indicate twins but in my case with DD my HCG was 305 and Prog 80 and the twins HCG was 351 and Prog 90 and my BT's were both 14days post transfer (so not a huge difference). Maybe with DD's pregnancy we may have actually had 2 take but them one 'vanish - ie the vanishing twin" or maybe not.
I hope your OB case ease your mind when you see him.
Foreva Mummy, I thought that too about the scanner doing the u/s. I know her pretty well having had nearly all of my IVF scans with her over the years plus a few other things. She's normally super good at telling me everything she finds, and explaining it as best she can, but this time after she found the embryo she was strangely quiet. I actually didn't realise the position was a problem until my fs rang me the next day with the report findings.
Tarhli I know what you mean about each pregnancy being different and I'm trying hard not to compare. Like you, with my DD I had hellish ms from weeks 4 - 12 but this time around, just a mild-moderate nausea that showed up about a week ago. I guess this time I might just have high progesterone without it necessarily meaning anything. (How I would have loved for it to mean twins though ) That's lovely that your last transfer resulted in twins.
I had 2 5AA embryos put back and had + HPT's since 4dp5dt. SO what did I do??? Google of course. Got my hopes going a bit for twins.
I'd been throwing up since EPU and developed mild OHSS (again).
I had nausea since EPU as well.
We had our viability scan on the 24th may at 7 weeks and we saw 1 sac with a heartbeat. I was a little disapointed there wasn't 2 as my levels both HCG and progesterone were high.
I had my first BETA at 12dp5dt HCG 701 and progesterone 162
I had my 2nd BETA BT at 19dp5dt (or 7 days later) HCG 7580 and progesterone 223.1.
My FS said there is only 1 in there so I believe him. This pregnancy so far is NOTHING like any of my others. I've only had all day nausea with a few dry retching & OMG I need to thow up moments. But as of 2 days ago all nausea seems to have gone.
Moral is levels mean diddly quat. Google all you like (like I did) and it still means nothing until the scan.
