Bella55 Welcome and double congrats for your little surprises in your tummy. It sounds like you are telling my story the same thing happened to me through IVF. I transfered 1 blast and it split, what IVF did you go to. Did they tell you what sort of identical twin you have? I also did the same thing when I found out I jumped straight on to the net and found horror stories, I stopped doing that and am now reading a book called (Twins by Katrina Bowan and Louise Ryan) its a great read and helped me with some of the answers I had. It starts from conception to preschool.
I am now 11 weeks and 2 days getting closer to that 12 week mark.
Kazzabird I hope that at my next scan they will see a faint line between them Im not to worried about the twin to twin transfusion as I know that they can do something about that but if they get tangeled there is nothing they can do depending on how far long you are to do a emergancy C secton. Thanks for tell us about how many scans you get I was about to ask that question.
Azzrenae - i have replied in the LTTC pregnancy forum - but i have identical twins not sure if they are sharing a sac they couldn't quite tell so i'm having a repeat scan in 2 weeks which will make me week 9 - how many scans did everyone have?
Just thinking about work - i have a very active job -i'm a charge nurse in an Emergency Department - so shift work etc when did people work til?
Congratulations on your twin preganancy, i have a lot of scans, after 20wks as twin 1 was slowing down in growth.
If you get the chance have a 3D u/s done they are awesome and well worth the $$ & memories.
Good luck and wishing you all the best.

I had an initial scan for dating purposes, this was estimated to be about 7 weeks at this stage, it was then that we found out they were twins, they couldn't separate them at that time, so they couldn't rule out Adjoined twins. I had to wait 3 weeks to have another scan and it was at this scan that they found a feint membrane between the twins. After that I didn't have another scan until 20 weeks then I had one 4 weeks later. After 24 weeks they wanted to scan me every 3 weeks, and once I reach 32 weeks I have to be scanned every 2 weeks. Luckily for me I don't work, I am a stay at home mum. But the second trimester is a breeze, you should be fine, I am now at 27.5 weeks and can tell you that I'm finding things difficult now, so can't imagine what it would be like to be on your feet all day as a nurse!!! If I were you I would see how you go, with a view to perhaps leaving a bit earlier than a normal pregnancy. But everyone is different, you may find things a bit easier than me, I am normally quite petite, so perhaps I'm just a weakling and can't take the weight! But be prepared for some morning sickness in the first trimester, normally around dinner time, continual grazing helped me, but still it's not very pleasant.
Good luck with it all and let us know how you get on.
