Roni's
having Twins! Story
The day
we found out!
We were TTC for almost 7 years! I had so many physical problems and had every
test known to man. I had given up hope after losing one baby to a tubal
pregnancy in 1996 and losing one of my tubes as a result. Nothing seemed to work
and I just thought I was destined to be childless. Until we moved to PA and I
started having more female issues and I was seeing a new dr. He asked if I still
wanted to have children and said my window of opportunity was shutting for many
different reasons. He suggested Fertility specialist and after one visit with
him. We were agreed on IVF. I was on the first cycle and they were amazed at how
well my body was responding-almost too well. I had what they call
"hyper-ovulation" When they did the u/s to see if I had produced any eggs there
were SO many more than normal. They did the egg retrieval on Good Friday and
called me and told me to sit down because I had 18 strong embryos that had
developed. (we were told 'maybe' we would get a couple) I was so excited and
thought it was such an amazing thing that we were also scheduled for the implant
on Easter Sunday. (A day that stands for 'life') When we arrived that day - they
said my levels were too high to implant the 3, which we had agreed upon and said
I could either come back in a month for the 3, or they would implant only 2 that
day. We chose two and the implant went well. I don’t know if you all know
anything about this process, but its so amazing. Then we had the LONG
heart-wrenching wait till we went in for the blood test a few weeks later.
We went in for the test and I was just sick to my stomach the whole morning - so
worried and so anxious to have a chance to be a mom after all of the years and
heartache. They told us they would call us around lunchtime with the results so
I went into work barely able to focus on anything.
They called around 9:30 and I was scared since it was so early - she said sit
down - and then said congratulations you are pregnant! I was so excited I just
about screamed and then she said - also your levels are SO off the charts that
we think you may have twin babies in there! I burst into tears. I had prayed for
years and always wanted twins. We had to wait another few weeks to go for the
u/s. I met dh for lunch and handed him a card that said you are a daddy! He
cried and I cried and we just held hands and laughed and talked about becoming
parents.
The day of my first ultrasound they told us not to be too disappointed if babies
didn’t make it...that it is very common in IVF - and to prepare for the worst.
So, we went in and I could barely move I was so scared. And then...she
said..there is one strong healthy heart beat and then...there is a second strong
healthy heartbeat! I burst into tears. And my dh just squeezed my hand and we
both were in shock! WE were so happy I couldn’t believe it was finally happening
and after all of those years, God gave us two blessings!!!!!!!!!!!! We both
cried tears of joy and have been thrilled every since!!!!!
We also have 16 more embryos frozen and hopefully we will get to have a few more
children someday!! Then we are going to give the other ones to a snowflake
adoption agency for couples who cannot have children themselves. How amazing!
Some days I want to have all 16!! J
It was the greatest Easter ever!
