Just had to post, have just looked at the roll call list and it was so up lifting to see all those names and dates. Some of you won't know me but had my twins in September after my second IVF attempt, Amelia and Jacob are now 13 weeks old and doing so well, Jacob is no 11lbs and Amelia is 8lbs (she is going to be petite) I have been so busy trying to get in a routine (still trying) and coping with a little depression...hormones!!!! that I have not been on line much. Tracey - so happy to hear your news!! Wishing you all a happy Christmas and good luck with all those pregnancies. Love Mags

Mags You probably don't remember me, but we were cycle buddies about 18 months ago, and so delighted for you having twins! I am 26 weeks pg with one, and couldn't be happier, those 5 attempts now feel like a distant memory (or should that be nightmare?!)! Wishing you a very special Christmas, I can imagine it will be your best ever! D x [Edited by Dawn Blake on 22-Dec-03 03:05]

Mags nice to hear from you and lovely to hear about Jacob and Amelia, sounds like they are doing really well. I also cycled with you in Jan/Feb when you were one of the first to get a positive followed closely by Helen G. I recently had a second ivf attempt and am now 10 weeks pregnant with twins, will I ever be prepared for the hard work!!! Congratulations again, hope your hormones settle and that you enjoy your best ever xmas and have a wonderful 2004. Love Lisa xx

Dear Mags, Lovely to hear from you - what lovely names you chose, and how fab that you're doing well. I understand that depression is quite normal but often never discussed - but it's horrid how our hormones make us feel. I had a few weeks of antenatal depression (!) but I saw a counsellor and had 3 hypnotherapy sessions through the clinic where I had my IVF, so I found that helped enormously. also Evening Primrose oil to balance hormones was very effective. Hope you're feeling OK, and don't be embarrassed about asking for help or support. Have a lovely Christmas, love Sally xxx (34 weeks)!!!!!!

Hiya Mags! Glad to hear your 2 are doing well, my girls are 11 weeks old today and weighed 12 lb and 9 lb 7oz 10 days ago, so are also doing well! I know what you mean about trying to get into a routine, it's non-stop isn't it?! I haven't been on the site much since twins were born either - too busy! I find it easier to feed them roughly at same time (quickest feeder just before the other if poss or together if they can't wait!). They are feeding every 3 1/2 - 4 hours apart from night time, when they go from 7-8pm until 3-4am which is great. Anyway, that's all for now - we'll have to catch up and swap tips sometime! Take care & have a great Christmas, Luv Rachel X
