How many twins here?

[Anonymous]

I am sort of an opposite case of some of the above posters. I conceived my first child very easily and had a problem-free pregnancy and birth. Second time around, it was a bit more difficult for various reasons (age, husband issues which didn't seem to affect us the first time around) and we turned to IVF. I had one fresh cycle where we implanted two good-looking blasts. BFN. Another fresh cycle where we implanted two 'excellent' blasts. Chemical pregnancy. So for the FET, we again went with two and Shady Grove didn't even broach the subject of less than two and bang....we got twins. I'm currently in my 2nd trimester with twins and I can say there is a huge difference in how I feel in this pregnancy as compared to the first and I know I'm in for a different experience this time aroundad of one (will have to juggle two babies instead of one and need to hire help, etc), but that's the way it turned out. I'm rare, I'm guess, in that I was happy when I found out since I always wanted three children and, frankly, I knew I wouldn't get the chance at three pregnancies. I work in the medical industry so I'm fully aware of the risks but also have so many friends around me with twins that are loving it that I also get to look forward to the benefits that may come a bit farther down the line. The thing that I never got over is how I basically had all these embryos over the 2 fresh IVFs (and one FET) and the only two that took did so at the same time. Honestly, IVF and IUIs are a total crapshoot....
