Missy's
having Twins! Story
The Day
We Found Out We Were Having Twins
We found out March of 2002 ....We had been TTC for 6 months...really not long at
all compared to some of you..but it felt like it was never going to happen. I
had gone in to the dr. thinking I couldn't get pregnant. I had my period every 2
months..so the 6 month time gave us 3 times to try...I was totally irregular so
I had no clue when I would ovulate.
I went in to get a pregnancy test and a check up to see if I could even get
pregnant....because i hadn't had my period in 3 months...which is normal.
The dr. said I wasn't pregnant...and he said to come back in a few days and take
another pregnancy test..if it comes up negative take some Progesterone to start
my period. It came up negative...I took the progesterone for 4 days and didn't
feel right. Anyway...it took about 6 pregnancy tests...3 blood tests to even get
a positive that I was pregnant. During this whole ordeal I was pregnant the
whole time. Wahoo!
Since I was irregular they needed to find out how far along I was...so they
scheduled an U/S. I told my DH not to come because I thought they would be doing
all kinds of girly stuff...I am very modest and get embarrassed so easily...
So I went in...the nurse looked around...she measured the baby...took her
time..showed me all the body parts...as she was finishing up she
looked.....looked again....she said (I will never forget this) "DO you see
what I see?" I looked...It was another heart beat!!! She said, "your
having twins!" I couldn't believe it...she took tons of pictures for me to
show my DH. I was in shock..but so excited because I always wanted twins and
somehow always felt I would have them. The nurse did scare me....I was only 6
weeks at the time and she informed me about vanishing twin syndrome....
I drove strait to DH's work....I cried the whole way there....I shut his office
door and said "guess what?" He looked at me all goofy..."what?"
"There's TWO" He had no clue as to what I was talking about. I showed him the
U/S and he got a teary eyed...we then went out to lunch and were just in awe the
whole time.
We then called my mom and my MIL....
Just the greatest day of my life!
