Rejoice with Me! We just found out we're having TWINS!!!
I'm so happy at the moment, its not even funny! We have been struggling with infertility stuff for eight years now, with three miscarriages in there, and we're officially really pregnant with TWINS!!!

We saw the heartbeats -- we are technically 6 weeks and 5 days along, even though egg retrieval was 4 weeks and 5 days ago, because we get a "bonus two weeks" due to the way these things are counted.

I'm nauseous and exhausted, and so happy I can barely breathe!!!

:bounce: :puke: :woohoo: :bounce: :puke: :woohoo: :bounce: :puke: :woohoo: :bounce: :puke: :woohoo: :bounce: :puke: :woohoo: :bounce: :puke: :woohoo:

(But you realize that's TWO births within minutes of each other? When you start feeling too happy and thrilled.... just remember that :) )

And as soon as they are born, post pictures!

21. Congratulations and I wish you all the best
We just had our third child a couple weeks ago, there is nothing more perfect and full of hope than a newborn....

I must commend you on your efficient use of time and uterine space, one at a time is soooooo wasteful.........

43. 13th Week
She's hanging in there, but she's having a pretty rough time of it. The nausea was really bad and she was unable to keep anything down and was losing weight so the Dr. prescribed an anti-nausea medication that works wonders.

48. I have a "secret remedy" (totally safe, of course) that seems to be
helping me a lot. Its not 100%, but overall, its been pretty good (as long as I stay away from the Orange Juice with my pre-natals). PM me if she is interested (although honestly, it sounds like things are under control).

Nauseous and exhausted... sounds about right! Take care of yourself, and puh-leeze enjoy these last months of freedom. NEVER feel guilty if you find yourself wanting to lie in bed and eat chocolate for a day, or a week. You need to gear up for the adventure of a lifetime! :hug:

about how you'll get half as much sleep at night, or anything like that. I wish you the unalloyed joy, times two, of having kids...especially after your struggles.)

I am a twin!

My mom had two miscarriages and the doctors told her she would never have kids.

Then after 10 years and still going through infertility, she became pregnant with my sister and me! :bounce: :hug:

All the best.
