Guest guest Posted July 7, 2002 Report Share Posted July 7, 2002 Hi - Can't help you with the technical stuff, but speaking as a twin it is the most wonderful thing in the world! My twin is my very best friend and we are bonded to each other in a way no one who is not a twin can possibly understand. Growing up we ALWAYS had someone to play with and my mom said she rarely had to entertain us because we entertained each other! So - whether it is twins or not I'm sure it will work out exactly the way it is supposed to! Marci (Mom to ) Oklahoma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 7, 2002 Report Share Posted July 7, 2002 , Were they measuring your HCG level? My twins were in vitro, so I had my first level done at 5 weeks, and a second drawn just 2 days later. They wanted it to at least double in the 2 days. Mine nearly tripled, so I asked if they thought it was twins. They didn't think it was high enough to indicate twins - just a strong singleton. Well, 2 weeks later at my sonogram, the tech's exact words were "well, they must have put at least 2 embryos back in". There were 2 little heart beats. My first thought was "my gosh, we have to buy a minivan!" I was in shock for about 2 months, but it's been nothing but joy ever since!!! I just flipped through one of my clinical chemistry books from college (I'm a Med Tech) to see if I could find any info about specific numbers on HCG, but I couldn't find anything. I worked in a children's hospital, so I didn't have a whole lot of use for knowlege about pregnancy testing. If I remember right, it's not a specific number that they are looking for, just that it is greater than a certain number to indicate pregnancy. HCG continues to rise for the first 60-80 days of pregnancy, but then drops off once the placenta is developed. Your numbers could mean anything. I wouldn't sweat it until you know something for sure. Don't worry - you'll be able to handle whatever is thrown your way. Good luck on Monday. Let us know how it goes. Gail, Sam and Sara's mom, DOC grads OT-twins??? ok all..here is the scoop..first off, if any of you don't know, i'm prego..thats about all I know..heres the deal..2 wks ago i went to the er for bleeding..they dx me with threatened miscarriage..they did blood work to test the hormone level..and an ultrasound both external and internal..they then said i was 4 wks and 5 days prego..but it was too soon to tell.they couldn't really see anything....well, then i had a check up last week and was fine...they then scedualed me for another ultrasound on the 8th (mon) ....today (fri) the nurse calls and says well we want you to come in today and do blood work cause we want your numbers to be 2000 and we are worried they won't be that high...so fine..i go....they call me back today with the results and say that the ultrasound is a go...but, now heres the interesting part..my blood hormone level is 17,000....ok..fine..i ask why is it so high..she says..either i am 12 wks along or its twins....TWINS...TWINS...OMG...what would i do with twins...not that twins are bad..but omg..so anyone who has had twins, is this what happened to you or what should i think..so happy i have 3 days to worry about this..NOT..any input would be greatfull..thanks brenda mom of tuckerFor more plagio info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
