Hi Everyone,
I just had my 12wk scan and am in shock as we found out we are having very rare and very high risk identical twins. Apparently our 1 implanted 6 days blastocyst split at around day 9.
At this stage the body has finished building its structure and has completed 1 placenta and 1 sac and doesnt even have a chance to build a membrane between the twins.
This is big news for us. The doctor spent 1hr just trying to determine if they were conjoined (thank god they were not)
The major problem is that the cords are entangled and they are in a high risk position for the cord to be restricted/cut off.
CAN ANYONE tell me if they know abou this?!?!?? IS IT HEARD OF IN IVF? IS IT A RISK OF IVF??
PLEASE - I need to know the bad too so dont hold back. I have read really bad stuff on the net so you cant shock me, i am just trying to understand what we are up against, thats all.
The technical terms are Monochorionic (one placenta) and Monoamniotic (one sac) with complications of no membrane and entangled cord.
p.s. - sorry if you have read this on the general form, I am just desparate for feedback!
