I lost my Mono Mono twin pregnancy at 9 weeks after only expecting to lose one. I have Mono Mono twins in my womb.

On July 12 2018 I found out I was pregnant. Since than I have been experiencing an "odd" pregnancy unlike my first. Slow rising HCG hormones, on and off spotting, cramping and symptoms including a fever. I called my doctor in worry and was told to take Tylenol and stay hydrated. I took my doctors advice and proceeded with my pregnancy thinking all was ok. I had 2 ultrasounds in my early days around 5 and 7 weeks to assure the pregnancy was successful. A heartbeat was seen. Flip ahead weeks later when I reached 9 weeks. On August 22 2018 I heard a heartbeat on my at home Doppler 165 BPM. Great heartbeat, I was thrilled. Baby was now the size of a cherry! Flip ahead to August 24 2018 (my incredible mother's birthday) and I experience more cramping and spotting than previously so I call the OB who assures me all is ok. In fears I go to the ER. As I arrive I am placed in my room and given an ultrasound. After not seeing a heartbeat I am sent for a transvaginal ultrasound. As I approach the room and am situated the tech begins scanning as she is scanning her face is in awe as is mine. She discovered not only did I have one lifeless child, I was carrying identical twins who were laying side by side grasping tightly to one another in the form of a heart. My heart sank. I had just discovered I was carrying identical twins and was losing both to a missed abortion (a miscarriage that occurs with little to no bleeding and a closed cervix). These past 24 hours have been rough and my heart has been broken. I have never experienced such an incredible loss aside from the loss of my incredible father. These two babies looked so incredibly human yet so incredibly small. One baby measured only 8 weeks while the other measured right on schedule and had only past 2 days prior shortly after I heard the heart beating. This is an incredible moment of grief for me so I apologize if I have been distant. It is a long road ahead and I have an appointment on Monday with my OBGYN to discuss options and a possible D&C. I am sorry to those who have suffered a loss. It is devastating. I have been in pray since the discovery and need all of the prayers I can get. It is in God's hands now. If anyone has words of comfort please share these with me. Thank you. The word incredible was emphasized quite a bit as I have no other words to describe my emotions on this. I lost 2 children in one night. And all hope.

And to Add to the confusion the twins were Mono Mono twins which is a rare occurrence of 1 in 10,000 pregnancies.

Thank God for my sunshine child Anna Lee. She is my rock!
