Ah, pebs my lovely. ID twins do have a lot to overcome to 'make it' and as you say are very rare in the first place... not something you can genetically expect, they're just something that nature throws up occasionally.
I think, that there were two, and you had some implantation bleeding and so no injections may also have had an adverse effect.
I feel so sad that something so rare has taken this chance from you... but still feel very positve for your future. Am I right in remembering that you guys waited 6 months to try because youwere waiting for testing results and such to come back? As you already have your answers there will be no need to wait, well, no longer than what your body will allow, iyswim.
Wrt how you manage it, I feel expectant management takes a certain kind of someone to do (and, perhaps, a level of uncertainty regarding the viability). To wait and wait and...wait for something you know is going to happen and will be mightily unpleasant is mentally extremely tough. I couldn't do it, especially when there are logisitics to think of too (like work, for instance).
I initally begged for an ERPC as I felt seeing the baby would break me but was told that the pregnancy too far advanced and so the risks meant it would be best for my body and the future (they didn't mention trying again but I assume, with hindsight, this is what they meant) to manage medically by inducing labour. As it turned out I'm incredibly thankful I was denied my orginal request as seeing, and being with him, as difficult as it was, felt very... right. Of course in the event I had to have an emergency erpc around midnight but, yeah.
As your gestation is so much less than last time, I would imagine I would choose ERPC in your shoes. Particularly as you're looking to move forward quite quickly... But only you can really know what is right for you. Sending you strength at this time
Likewise, boris strength and for you.
marff I resemble that comment! And, my final reserves of strength and, indeed, for you. A mix and match evening of fine dining and trashy clubbing sounds fantastic! At least with my bump I can be sure I won't have any drunken slobbery men interested in me - yay! Always hated that part of clubbing (I NEVER went with the intention of 'pulling').
oneday DS2 is a 'on top' baby - so I can tell you it does work
. And, think about it, if the sperm has managed to swim against gravity rather than being helped along with the tilting/pillows under bums tiago mentions, then it's a good stong sperm and genetically speaking probably 'superior' to the ones that needed a helping hand. Oh, DS2 was also a 'day before O' conception so I reckon you're ok
tiago you need to control your temp (if you have one) as a raging fever might pose a problem in early pregnancy. Paracetamol is fine to take. And if it's not bringing down your temp take tepid baths, but DO bring it down.
And me? Eh, I dunno. I'm really tired today so that's my prevailing thought/feeling: Geez, I'm tired. Exciting stuff, eh?!
