Oh and I actually think there are more twins than that!!!
If your brothers are identical twins then maybe yours are too. It is not proven to be heredity but I have seen it happen in families. My biological grandmother is an identical twin. The bond is awesome. They live far apart but talk every day on the phone.
Nice to hear someone say that Atomic :) I love having twin boys.
It did sting not to get my girl and it was harder during the pregnancy with the hormones and having never met them yet but I would not change a thing now. I think the twin thing helped alot with the GD too because it is special. Less people get to have twins than people who get to have daughters. And I escape alot of "the three boy Mum" stigma because of it too. I'll post a pic later. I feel like such a lucky Mummy
Having little brothers that are twins was a pretty cool experience too! I am excited about any pregnancy in general, and doubly so since it's twins. Icing on the cake would be if my pink sway worked at all :) Just thought the stat sheet was interesting. :)Quote:

The icing on the cake sure would be great. I hope you get to have a daughter. The twins were supposed to be our last but I still really want a daughter so we are gong to have just one more.
I also think there may be a slight hereditary aspect to ID twins. In my family there is at least one set of fraternal twins going back 4 generations in the maternal line (as far back as we know, since lineage is patrilineal). My mother and I are confirmed hyperovulators, and we've both miscarried a set of B/G twins. I am also a surviving ID twin, my mum is a surviving fraternal twin (lost a brother), and my maternal grandmother had B/G twin siblings, and the girl went on to have ID girl twins. Could be a coincidence but I wonder!
I personally am SO NERVOUS about this. I'm 100% having at least one boy (confirmed via blood test) and I just have this extreme anxiety that I'm going to be the first person who swayed hard (LE diet for 7 months, 60 minutes of exercise/7 days a week, 1 attempt) that somehow ends up with TWO boys swaying pink. I posted this in my due date thread, but I'm really hoping if they are both boys that they are at least identical. If they are identical I only had one "failed sway", but if they are fraternal I'm not going to have any idea how the heck I had 2 "failed sways" at the same time. Very scary thought! I'd like to possibly try for a fourth (when originally we were going to stop at 2, HA), but having a pink sway end in 2 boys makes me feel massively unsuccessful/unlucky and makes me scared to ever try again.Quote:

When I went into my ultrasound with DS 3, I told my husband "it has to be a girl or twin boys and I"ll be happy" (suffice it to say, I wasn't happy LOL). I really love twin boys, I think little boys should come in pairs like shoes. :)
I would be OVER the moon to be pregnant with twin boys! I always see twin girls, BG fraternal twins or GG fraternal twins. I bet they would be so cute!!
I really should stop! DH desperately wants a girl! But they would be SO cute......

I am trying to see the positives, I promise. My dream in life has always been to have 2 boys (or more) and just one girl so I am over the moon about getting another DS for sure out of this deal. I'm also excited because I hate being pregnant and DH and I felt we were too old to have 4 kids with our ages and the spacing we wanted between kids, so now we are both kind of happy that 4 kids is a possibility for us (at least TIME wise). The idea of four boys is scary to me but kind of exciting at the same time. There's something very special about a family with that many sons and I could come to terms with it eventually.
I guess it's just hard for me because with a relatively stict sway we are seeing 60-90% success so hard to come to terms with me being in the 10-40% freaking TWICE! I worry if I do sway for a 4th what I could even do! I'm certainly not trying clomid next time (and didn't this time, lol). :)
Awwa... I love reading all the wonderful things about twin boys. I can hardly stand how adorable my gentleman are. They are so funny and sweet. Whatever the gender... Raising twins is amazing.
Also... My boys were a day 5 frozen embryo and are identical. They had their own sac and placenta! I had their DNA tested to make sure.
