    Triplets? Did you use clomid? So twins and one split? Very rare! I'm so sorry for your losses. A higher multiple order pregnancy is very high risk. Did they do genetic testing? 11 weeks is pretty far along. Do they know what caused it? I'm so sorry.

    I'm so sorry Shann, I was praying so hard for you, and I felt sure the IDs were girls. So glad one triplet survived. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't you have 4, not 5 boys, prior to this sway/pregnancy?

    My Ovulation Chart
    currently TTC, Cycle #16 since last BFP

    TTC #1 - swaying pink on & off since Nov 2013 - hoping for a girl first but excited for either!

    Dec 2001 - May 2006 : 5 early abortions of healthy singletons (3 medical @5w, 2 surgical @8w, last 4 pregnancies conceived with late DH, all conceived while TTA/on birth control)
    Mar 2012: miscarried B/G twins @5w (conceived 2 cycles after remověng Paraguard copper IUD while NTNP), one twin was ovarian ectopic

    Me: 34, widowed, late O + short LP, normal-good hormone levels excepting undetectable testosterone, seeking a known sperm donor/life partner
    My sway: vegetarian LE for over 28w, skipping breakfast, fibre (ground psyllium husks) with/before/between meals, physically inactive, drama avoidance, ocassional minimal YesBaby lube as needed, alternate cycles on low dose Clomid, double shot lattes (with meals)
    Past sway tactics I've dropped (in order): Vitex, Sudafed, antihistamines, intermittent fasting, one attempt per cycle at positive OPK, one attempt in fertile period

    NBP - I just saw this, sorry. No I was not on Clomid. This was spontanious twins with one splitting. The girls were babies B & C, so there was no bleeding or anything when they were lost. We have no idea what happened. By the time I delivered, they were fused as part of the placenta. Really weird actually. But by that point there was no way to do any testing. We had just had our NT scan and all was going great with them, they were all perfect. At our next scan 2 weeks later, we found out the girls were gone.
