I had a chemical pregnancy in February but was lucky enough to get my BFP in May. In fact Mother’s Day is when I got my first faint line on pregmate. It was so faint I doubted it’s existence. So I tested again the next day and it was more convincing so I thought I’d try with a FRER—it was a very clear positive, unmistakable, that was 9dpo.

Because of my recent chemical I was nervous and proceeded to test daily just to make sure the line didn’t got away and sure enough I got a dye stealer the day after my expected period date. I finally called my ob and scheduled my first appointment which wouldn’t be until after 11weeks

At 5 weeks I started having right sided pelvic pains. I called my ob and was advised to go to the ER to rule out ectopic. In the ER, they did an ultrasound and found no evidence of ectopic but a gestational sac and yolk sac. No embryo was visible. My bHCG was 11,200 and the radiologist read suggested that an embryo should be visible with an hcg at that level. Obviously this made me nervous.

I called my ob the next day and she said I should get a follow up ultrasound in one week to verify viability, as she would expect to see an embryo by that time.

My ultrasound was today. I’m am currently 6w4days and I was understandably anxious all days leading up to the appointment. The ultrasound tech had the screen turned away from me when she was doing the scan so I had no idea what she was seeing, because she was also dead silent. I was sure I was about to get bad news when she said “hang on, I’m just trying to get this crown-rump length”. I had a sigh or relief. “So you see the embryo?” I asked. “Uhhh, yeah...” she said hesitantly. I was so confused. A moment later she turned the screen around to show me. “There’s baby A...and there’s baby B”

Guys I’m still in shock!!! I can’t believe I’m having twins! No wonder I’ve been so nauseous!! I’m so nervous and happy and stressed and excited all at the same time. I just had to share with someone!!
