Hi Inglewood,

Congratulations on getting you twin girls! Identical too, wow! Gorgeous.

Can I ask, were you on Clomid when conceived?

How is life with twins? Hope all is fab. XX

What DPO did you get your first +OPK?

FYI - I am 3DPO now (first Clomid cycle). I had 3 mature eggs.. So I wonder if I will end up pregnant this cycle. I too have mild crampy sensation around ovary area.

What did your OB say regarding the cyst? Will it just settle/remove itself? Glad it is not a concern.

Congratulations! I think twins would be super cool! XX

Oops, I meant what day did you get your first + HPT? Not OPK..

Hey, cvd! Thanks! I haven't been on the boards much the past few days because DH took me on a long weekend trip as a belated anniversary present. We were out of town Thurs-Sat (got back super late at night), and I've been exhausted and recouping from the trip since then. I've been thinking of you girls though, in our due date thread! Hope all is well! I'll have to take a peek over there and say hi! ;)

Wow, did you really? That's so strange! I know that Clomid increases the chances of twins, but I didn't really think it would happen for me. I took it CD's 4-8 too, I figured 3-7 would produce more eggs (not that that's really much of a difference, I suppose). I'm still so shocked!

I'm not sure how soon you would start showing with twins but I imagine it won't be long! I was about 10 weeks when I was in maternity jeans this time as my others were getting uncomfy and at 11 weeks the first person asked if I was pregnant! How soon did you show with your sons? x

I can't really remember when I started showing with DS1. I think it was really noticeable to people around me by about 20-21 weeks? I'm not sure if that's right. With DS2, I was slimmer when I got pg with him, but I remember showing by about 16-18 weeks, I think? I remember being in a wedding at about 16 weeks, and most people couldn't even tell I was pg (but the cut of the dress was very forgiving).

I was also about "average" and not very thin with either pregnancy, so I'm sure my pudgy belly hid things pretty well for me for awhile. :p

The babies each had their own sac, so that means fraternal, right? (Sorry, that's probably such a dumb question) :oops: They were also each measuring differently - one was measuring 6w1d and the other was 6w3d. I'm assuming this all means fraternal, right? Sorry for sounding dumb, I really don't know anything about twin pregnancies. I have a lot of researching to do! :)

Meant to say was laughing as my Dh said the same thing "It was meant to be for 1 girl" lol

I love reading all of this, Inglewood! I hope I have as great of a pregnancy as you did! :) And I'm totally LOL at your DH's comment! Too funny! ;)

Hi, Maple! :wave:

Thanks for all your kind words! That's crazy that you had a feeling I'd have twins - you're the second person to tell me that! I was SO shocked when I found out today. I know I was on Clomid, but I was on such a low dose, I really did not think it would happen. My head is still spinning!

I got a very faint +HPT on 9dpo. It's gotten way, way dark since then (I've been using up my IC's).

The OB (it wasn't my OB, I was sent to a separate u/s place for some reason - maybe bc it was so early?)...anyway, he said the cyst wasn't anything to worry about, that it had ruptured and released some fluid, but that they'll keep an eye on it with future ultrasounds. I asked if it could harm the pregnancy in any way, but he said no, not at all. I hope it's truly okay, bc the pain is still there. It makes me a bit worried, but I'm trying not to.

Good luck to you this cycle! I really hope you get your BFP!!! :)

Woohoo, double the trouble!
I'l bet you have twin sisters in there!!

Am I right in thinking you were on Clomid ? Huge congratulations - twins will be such a blessing. Im sure hubby will be ecstatic and so will u when you get over the initial shock :-) Send some dust my way lady :-)
