I think if you mention that fraternal twins run in your family the doc should send you for a scan asap. My DH's cousin didn't go to the doc til about 16 weeks with her first. When he found out she was a fraternal twin he sent her for an emergency u/s. Only one.
When she fell pg the second time she had her first scan at 7 weeks - just to be safe.....She now has 7 month old identical twin girls!
Another friend waited with her 2nd pg til ahe was around 5 months. She never suspected a thing, but my MIL did. Sent for an emergency u/s coz her measurements said she only had 4 weeks to go......wrong! Still 4 months, but there were 2 babies hiding in there.
Her brother was a fraternal twin, but they lost one early in the pg & her aunt had fraternal twins, so no skipping generations there.
Go ask for a scan or a BT, really high HCG levels can be an indicater too.
I got a call from the birth centre a few minutes ago. They asked me to go to a GP (they recommended one for me) and get bloods and request an early scan. We head in to the Dr at 1:10 qld time today. We will know how many are there by the end of the month I think!
Whooohooo how exciting for you, congrats on your BFP. I was pretty sure before my 5 week scan. I had pain in both ovaries and was as sick as a dog. Not so much tummy growth, but just intuition, IFYKWIM. We are expecting fraternal B/G twins so I guess I ovulated from each ovary.
We had no idea. This is our 2nd pg but I showed early and grew out of my jeans at 6wks. I thought it was because my body was making a head start on growing the belly.
I almost bolted out the door when i found out we were having twins during our dating scan. I blamed DH but of course he had nothing to do with it.
Hope you find out soon. Congrats either way on the 3rd pg.
They couldnt tell yet so are going to get me to have another scan in a couple of weeks. thye could tell that I ovulated from 1 ovary and could see the sac, but too early to see much else.
