Everything about this is a roller coaster.
Had a massive bleed Sunday night/Monday morning. Huge bleed, it sounded like I was weeing. Large clots. Labour pains.
Spoke to the clinic and they said to continue on with my meds and come to my regularly scheduled ultrasound as nothing they could really do. Long wait until Thursday obviously.
Was expecting the worse, so imagine my utter relief when they put the probe in and baby is there and heartbeat clearly identifiable - 131. Doctor can't find where the bleeding (still!) is coming from.
Does a thorough check to look for blood and then slows back to baby. And oh look, there's two heartbeats.
So we put in two embryos. Only one implanted and developed. And now that's split and there's identical twins.
I'm a bit mindblown. Unfortunately he thinks they'd MCMA or MOMO twins right now, which is the rarest and most complicated with the lowest survival rates. I've spent the day reading posts where women went back at the 12 week scan and they found a division in the membrane and were actually having MCDA twins so I'm praying for that right now, and that they both stick. I have a bad history of losing babies between weeks 7 and 8 and I'm measuring 7W2D.
Back on Wednesday for a follow up scan. Trying to process this is hard. At first I was so excited - there's still a baby! It's twins! ..except it's the really complicated kind. I guess I'm lucky both original embryos didn't stick as I'd now be pregnant with triples (or quads!!).
Seriously, pregnancy and IVF is such a rollercoaster and a giant bag of mixed emotions.
Hope everyone else is getting good news!
