Em,

We joined a local Parents of Twins and Supertwins (POTS) group and the moms have been so great in giving us things for our girls. We will then pass on those things to the next twin parents in our group.

They are also really helpful when it comes to what to buy. Many have already tried things ...

My hcg levels were off the charts.

one week post transfer it was 250.
11 days post transfer it was 1400.

My numbers weren't even on the charts. We were worried that maybe both split and implanted...but we've got just two on the way.

Jill,

With twins you do show early! I am 13 weeks now, only gained 4lbs and my belly is definitely sticking out. I can still wear my low rise jeans, but they are starting to get uncomfortable. I think I noticed some expanding at about 8 weeks too!

Oh me too, me too! I used to have the runs constantly, now it's the opposite....constipation and horrible, terrible gas pains.

I called the doctor and spoke with a nurse who said I could take gas-x for the gas pains and colace (stool softner). I also have to increase my water intake - because of my ...

Hi girls,

It's nice to see some familiar names here!

I was originally on the Oct buddies thread, but then disappeared for awhile because I have been so sick. I'm sorry to say that along with my sickness came an unpleasant attitude and I did not want to spread it around here :? ...but I am now ...

Em,

I have felt THE EXACT SAME WAY.

There have been many days when I was just so sick that I wanted it all to end...that I just didn't want to be pregnant anymore. Laying curled in a ball on the bathroom floor crying for hours. Wishing I had never done the IVF. Wanting my pre-pregancy life back ...

I read that the extra progesterone makes the joints relax, allowing things to relax in the pelvic region and put pressure on the nerve that causes the pain. I agree, Tylenol doesn't do a thing, but warm baths ease it for a little while. Just resting seems to help me too...until I have to roll over ...

I'm only 10 weeks along with twins, but I've been having sciatic pain for about the last 3 weeks. The pain is pretty severe on most days. My ob said there was nothing I could do about it....somehow I just don't believe that. (For numerous reasons, we are looking for a new ob!)

Anyone have any ...

I'm now 10 weeks along, and we've only had sex twice since I've gotten pregnant. First it was because I had OHSS and then because I've been constantly sick.

My concern is this....why did it hurt so much?! Is it because we haven't done it for so long or what? I couldn't believe how much it hurt ...

Rittie,

I tend to feel the same way about my mother-in-law. She's kind of wacko and would rather her not come, but I don't think I can stop her. I've warned dh that he will have to run interference between us...or it could get ugly.

I've heard that if you can afford some help for a few months, it ...

LauraLou,

Thank you for your kind post and encouraging words. I do have an Rx for Zofran, but only take it when I start throwing up or when I just can't function due to the nausea. For about 3 weeks, I had to take 4mg everyday.

My sciatic nerve started acting up about 3 weeks ago, which has made ...

I had my first OB apt this week and all she said was that I should gain 40-45 pounds during the pregnancy. At 10 weeks, I'm actually 10lbs. below what I was when I started this cycle because I've been so sick. I have constant nausea and no appetite. I eat because I have to, but not very much. And ...

Hi girls,

Just thought I'd pop in to check up on everyone. I was out of town for a couple of weeks but we're back now and should be getting ready for Christmas soon...if only I just felt better.

I had my first OB apt this week. I do like the doctor (but not the hour and a half wait). She did ...

Ophee - I've been thinking about you. I know what you did was hard, but you did what was best for your other babies and yourself.

Tasha, we did see both babies and their heartbeats - one at 170 and one at 156. It is exciting but scary at the same time!
