Hi Ladies,

I am a newbie to this thread and feel like a bit of an imposter. DH and I have been TTC through ART (mainly IVF/ICSI) for 13 months and about six months naturally beforehand.

We had a FET cycle and fell preggers on the 19th April! We have since found out I'm pregnant with twins. Downside is only about three days after finding out we had a BFP I had a bleed during the middle of the night and the FS said the next morning it was probably the result of a ruptured blood vessel, which led to a large blood clot. This was one day shy of the 5-week mark. Hence we knew we had twins.

My HCG level at 4 weeks was 3163; at 5 weeks it was 23,659 and today (one day shy of six weeks) it was 42,384. I forgot to find out my E2 and progesterone levels on the other BTs but this time my E2 was 126 and progesterone 160. Mind you, I'm on an awful lot of prog support (pess & tab) and ethinyl oestradiol.

The scan today showed two sacs, two fetal poles, beginnings of two placentas and two heartbeats, although one bub is larger than the other but FS says could have just implanted one day earlier than the other. There is still blood clotting around. I was put on bed rest for one week, and now he wants me to be on bed rest for another week.

Sorry for the long post, but I am worried all the time that these babies are going to be okay. Can any of you ladies advise or perhaps have been in a similar situation and can put my mind at rest? I feel like I have already aged 10 years and just want everything to be normal.

Thanking you in advance!
