We had been TTC for a total of 2 years before we got our twins’ BFP. I had been under the care of a Dr. who had treated me for infertility. This was also the Dr. who had treated a very complicated pg before any of my fertility treatment. In June 2002, I had an ectopic pg simultaneous with a twin pg. I m/c the twins (B/C my body was so stressed over a 10 week ectopic) and had to have the pg & my left tube removed. It was all very physically and emotionally painful. After the ectopic/twin M/C I started to chart. After a year of TTC w/ no success and flat line charts I began fertility treatment.

I started 50 mg. Of clomid (starting on CD#5 for 5 days) After 4cy’s I was pg! those are such amazing little white pills! B/C of my history with ectopic and the fact I only had one functional tube left, my Dr. wanted to send me for an internal U/S to make sure the pg had not implanted in my remaining tube.

So there I was at 5.5 weeks, twins the furthest thing from my mind on the U/S table. All I had on my mind was PLEASE! let me have a healthy pg. PLEASE! don’t be in my tube. PLEASE! I don’t want to chart, take meds, plan my sex life or cry over AF any more!

The U/S was quick but the tech made sure to tell me as soon as she was sure that my tube was clear (so I was able to enjoy the rest of the U/S ) At the end of the U/S, the tech said “I don’t quite know what to say, so I’ll just show you” Then I was like O…..M…..G! could there be more than one…I only had those fleeting seconds before the screen was flipped around where it had dawned on me that I could have more than one. When the screen was flipped around so I could see, my OMG! Moment was confirmed I saw, clear as day, no squinting… 2 little circles nuzzled together centered perfectly on the screen! At that point I think I forgot to breathe! The tech said do you see that…I said …..”yup”……. she said “There is 2 in there!” The tech helped me off the table and gave be the biggest bear hug! She was so sweet

I could go on about how I told DH…But that would be a whole other post!
