Hi everyone :-) i do hope i am having twins that would be amazing. I guess i will find out when i have my scan. I have only had the a couple of blood tests but the doctor never mentioned the levels being high. So i don't know i am prob just wishful thinking hehe.
My levels were very high...
Sallymarie when are you booked in for your scan?You will have to let us know.;)
Hi Sallymarie,
My mum had twins. They are now 29, so back in the day there were no scans etc prior to 18 weeks. So she had no idea until almost half way through and she didn't look any different then a person with 1 baby. It wasn't until the 2nd half of her preg that things become noticably bigger.
With a strong line of twins on both sides of the family I was REALLY worried about having twins. I have never wanted twins and that didn't change when I got pregnant. By 12 weeks I had been feeling bloated and thought my belly was bigger (which I felt was far too early to grow) so took myself to the Dr and asked for a scan. When we only saw one baby I was so releaved!
It all sounds like a pretty normal pregnancy to me.
Mum says the biggest difference is the morning sickness is frequent, intense and for her didn't stop until after she had given birth to them!
Hope this helps! Take care
each twin pg is different. you HCG levels at your first b/t are a good indication. 750 and above is pg positive. Mine with my twins was 2,250 and i was only 3 1/2 weeks.
a scan is the only real way.
good luck and let us know how you go
Thankyou guys, my scan is the 24th July so i can't wait. I think i will be sort of disapointed if is isn't twins. BUT still happy if it is a healthy baby with a nice strong heart beat. :-)
Does getting a really strong and quick positive HPT before AF is due possibly mean it could be twins? My HPT (pictured in my sig) was strong and positive in less than a minute on CD 27, 1 day before AF was due. I didn't expect it to be so strong so quickly that early
Danni, mine was the same. It was a couple of days b4 my AF was due and i got the pos in less then a min.... ???
I don't know when I'm having my first ultrasound. I've booked in for my first check up at my GP's office on 7th August. (doing shared care). I guess she'll go through everything I need to know.
There is a big history of twins in my family. My Nanna had 2 sets of unidentical twins (11 months apart!), my aunty miscarried 1 set of twins and then miscarried half of another set of twins (one of them was born and is in his late 20's now). I think apparently there are also twins on Matt's side of the family.
I sometimes can feel when I double ovulate therefore know that it's possible for me to have twins and this cycle I had what looked like 2 ovulation dips and 2 implantation dips :confused:
Good luck with your appointment, let us know how you go. :-) sounds like twins might be on the cards for you ...
wow that would be great, twins! keep us posted
I had 2 singleton pg's, then I had twins. I was only just over 30, & the only twins in the family was that my great-grandfather was a twin, so nobody suspected I could be pg with twins.
My tummy expanded really quickly, and by 12 weeks it looked like I was at least 20/25 weeks pg. I had more morning sickness, & I was always very tired.
WOW I love all this twin talk....hope we all are lucky enough to be blessed with double ;)
Let everyone know girls either way.
I get so excited when twins are mentioned!!:twin_neutral:
Hi Sallymarie,
I'm glad you asked the question because it was running through my head as well. We have twins on both side of the family so I guess that genetically we'd have a higher chance. We did IVF so the embryo would have had to have split once it went back in. It would be so exciting to find out we we were having twins, either way I'll just be happy to have a live baby in my arms at the end of it. Our 8 wk scan is on the 19th.
Hi Janie... I am so excited 4 u i hope i have twins... :-) i am hoping for twins to but i am thinking the same just one little healthy bundle of joy will make me happy. Good luck with your scan. Let me know how you get on.
Sally :-)
Thanks so much, will let you know - good luck with yours as well.
How scary would twins be - the thought of one scares me but I still can't wait.
Yeah same, sounds fun. And i am sure it will be BUT double the trouble, mess, money, worry etc.... LOL but also double the happiness :-)
you may be able to go for an ultrasound now if you girls are seriously interested in finding out. You can go direclty to a private clininc for an ultrasound- you just have to pay
I found out i was having twins at 6 weeks, 6 days via dildo cam at my FS office
so anytime after 7 weeks you should be able to see how many sacs, just may not be able to see heartbeats yet.
good luck
keep us posted
