I'm 43 and have had 4 unexplained mcs. So was delighted to be spontananeously pg with non-identical twins. They don't do blood tests for twins, so had nuchal test which gave good (for my age) results of 1:150 T21 and 1:190 T13/18 for Twin 1, but very bad results of 1:2 T21 and 1:6 T13/18 for Twin 2. Next step can be CVS or amnio to confirm, each with 2% risk of mc (1% per twin). DH and I have always agreed we will not go full-term if chromosomal problems. But dilemma is to risk a healthy twin. My recurrent mc consultant has advised me that with my age and history, a successful pg in the future may be unlikely, but equally it is v likely that Twin 2 does have chromosomal problems. Has anyone else had a similar experience with twin pg, and what was your outcome?
