Hi All,

I'm having a moderate freak out - I'm not even sure if I am putting this post in the right place - but here we go....

I have two boys aged 10 and 2.8 and am blessed to be pregnant with lucky last after my first IVF FET was successful. I couldn't have a natural transfer due to threatened OHSS - and got lucky on my first FET. My FET consisted of ONE day 5 blastie. Anyway, today I am 7w+2d so I had my dating scan with my beloved FS who has been my OB for 10 years.

So he finds a "perfect" sac with a "perfect" white blob and heartbeat. I can't see the heartbeat so he switches to a colour thing that lights up the heart as it flashes - and OMG there is TWO. The FS is shocked, I start crying with disbelief - and I say - why does my baby have two hearts - shocked - and he says because your carrying identical twins!

So it seems the day 5 blastie got excited and kept dividing, and now we have two jellybeans instead of one!

I told DH over the phone (I just couldn't wait) and he was thrilled - his biggest concern was for me and my health as we are now dealing with a high risk pregnancy. I am scared! This was notnpart of my plan and I have no idea how I will cope? I didn't breastfeed either of my boys for medical and personal reasons, so ridiculous as it sounds, that's one thing I can get my head around!

Has anyone else experienced this - have any words of wisdom etc? Now the shock is wearing off I'm starting to feel excited and worried something will happen to one or both (go figure).

Any and all thoughts welcome!
