How Do You Feel About A Possiblity Of Twins?

Honestly, the thought scares me. Only because I know it would be a lot of hard work and we only have a 1 bedroom right now so the room for 2 babies would be reallyyyyy tough.

With taking clomid, I know I might have a possibility of having twins... If it happens, then its a blessing from God and its meant to be....but I cant help but feel nervous/scared about the possibility of having twins.

I asked DH and to my surprise he said he wouldnt mind having twins at all and would take it in stride. Wow!

Can anyone help ease my feelings and embrace this possibility? TIA

Re: How Do You Feel About A Possiblity Of Twins?

I would prefer to only have one at a time but if I were to have twins I would be ok with it. It would be great if it was twins for it to be a girl and a boy because then I would be DONE!

I think your feelings are completely normal, having one baby is a scary though nevermind two. It's the fear of the unknown.

Re: How Do You Feel About A Possiblity Of Twins?

At this point Ill take whatever comes my way I would be a little nervous about the financial aspect and working while pregnant with twins ( I have a pretty physical job) but everything happens for a reason so we would be very excited!

Re: How Do You Feel About A Possiblity Of Twins?

Bring it.

Re: How Do You Feel About A Possiblity Of Twins?

I worried about having more than 2....so then the thought of twins didn't seem so bad!

Re: How Do You Feel About A Possiblity Of Twins?

about a year ago i was told by a clairvoyant that i was going to have twins. this was right before we started TTC and i didnt ask the clairvoyant - he was a family friend and just said it out of nowhere.

i always kind of thought twins would be cool but i didnt start thinking about it for real until he said that. i also never thought the possibility of twins would come from fertility drugs and not dumb luck . at this point i will take whatever the world wants to give me!!

Re: How Do You Feel About A Possiblity Of Twins?

I feel the same way! I am concerned about having twins because of the additional health risks and the financial aspect, but we know that we would love to have at least two children, and if having twins is the only way that will happen for us then I agree with Blu-ize - bring it on!!

3 years ago, i would have freaked. 2 years ago, i would have been happy but nervous. Today i would scream, THANK YOU JESUS!!!!!




Once, i started injectibles, Dr. B. had the multiple discussion with us, before he could finish the first sentence my DH and I said we welcomed anything God gave us.

Re: How Do You Feel About A Possiblity Of Twins?

I will share my take on it....

I did IVF with my DD and got pregnant with twins. Were were freaked out? YES!!! But were overjoyed! (in fact, there had been a 3 sac there too, but it never developed passed a sac).

Unforunately we lost one of the twins at 7 weeks. My husband and I were devasted (this was the 3rd baby we lost), but at the same time overjoyed Baby A was healthy.


When we decided to go back to the RE for DC #2, DD was 9 months old at the time.

After doing PGD, we had 2 viable embryos. Both took.... DH was totally over the moon....me....not so much. The thought of having 3 kids under the age of 2 terrified me. I actually started to cry when they pointed out the two babies. The of course the guilt kicked in that I should be SO grateful for having two more babies (this was going to be our last attempt).

One of the babies never developed past the sac and fetal pole (no heartbeat). I will admit that I breathed a little sigh of relief, because I really was in full panic mode.

Of course I would have gotten over the panic and the fear and we all would have adjusted, but I was more open to having twins the first time around then the 2nd time around.

Honestly, I would love to have twins. It would be nice to have the babies grow up together and have each other. Of course, have 2 kids at the same time will be really hard and tiring but you'll be done with child labor one time with 2 kids!

Re: How Do You Feel About A Possiblity Of Twins?

at this point I would be happy with one or two. The thought of triplets however rare makes me freak. When the RE said its possible but rare I almost died. But it will be what it is.
one is all i ask for

I'm scared to death of having just one, but honestly if i did have twins, i'd almost be relieved that it would all be over with in one shot!
DH really wants more than one child, and i just keep saying lets see what happens if/when we have the first one before i agree to having another.

I think it would be pretty terrifying to have twins, but i know its a very real risk from taking the medications that i'm on. We've discussed it with the RE and we'll deal with it if the time comes.

Re: How Do You Feel About A Possiblity Of Twins?

I would also prefer to have one at at a time. It all wil depend on how viable the embryos are. During our first cycle, I had 14 fertilize, so I only transfered one. Sad to say, it didn't work and the other embies all died off and didn't make it to freezing.
This cycle I will make the decision to implant one or two depending on how good and how many blastocycts we have on transfer day.
If we end up putting 2 and they take, then wonderful.
My sister went through IVF 3 times and ended up with amazing twin girls. Twins are double the blessing, right?

Re: How Do You Feel About A Possiblity Of Twins?

I will be beyond happy just to have a healthy pregnancy and children.

Re: How Do You Feel About A Possiblity Of Twins?

I am scared to death of having twins. I know it's a very distinct possibility because twins run on both sides of our family and I am taking fertility meds. If it happens, we'll of course feel blessed and will find our way through it, just like everyone else who has multiples. What's meant to be will be.

Re: How Do You Feel About A Possiblity Of Twins?

I am excited about the possibility of having twins!! Of course though, I will feel completely blessed with whatever I have!!

Re: How Do You Feel About A Possiblity Of Twins?

i am PRAYINGGGG for twins!!! I made it very clear to Dr. K that Im expecting twins after all is done!!!!

Having said that OBVIOUSLY, I will be extremely happy with a singleton

Re: How Do You Feel About A Possiblity Of Twins?

I would love twins!!!! Especially with how difficult this process is and especially knowing for all pregnancies I will need to take Lovenox.

I would love 3 children. So having 2 right away at the same time would be great!!!
