Vanishing twin πŸ˜’πŸ’”

We had our 8 week scan on Tuesday and found one of the twins had stopped growing at 6.5wk and had no heartbeat πŸ’”. Just so devastated 😒 thankfully the other little fighter was measuring 8.1wks and looked fine. But I am now terrified! Worried my little one will stop growing. Having another scan next Thursday but I’m so scared they will tell me bad news. Just after any experiences, advice and just some support. Thank you πŸ€—πŸ˜˜

No experience of this but I am very sorry to hear of one of your twins hasn’t made it. πŸ’”

I’m glad the other twin is doing well & hope this twin continues to thrive.

Wishing you the best for Thursday xxx

Hey my lovely, really sorry to hear the news about one of your babies.

The exact same thing happened to my friend a few years ago after finding out she was pregnant with twins from IVF. But I'm happy to say that the other one survived and grew into a healthy little boy who is now 6 years old.

I know its a very difficult time for you but you now have to concentrate on the miracle that is still growing inside you. You have been through a very tough journey so far, please don't give up hope, you've got this 😘.

Wishing you all the very best for your next scan and please do keep us all updated.

xx

Thanks for your reply hun. They did say the little one isn’t at any risk from the other twin. But it’s scary times. Nice to hear a good outcome story. Just want it so much! Xx

I’m so sorry to read this. Heartbreaking!

This happened to us in 2017. Lost one at 10 weeks. Sounds like you have a little fighter on board so don’t give up and stay as positive as you can xxx

Sorry to hear you’ve been through such a tough time. Thank you. I hope rainbow baby keeps fighting. Just feel so helpless xx

This happened to us, we lost one of ours at about 8wk but the other one is now a very healthy almost two year old.

It’s very sad and I often think of our tiny little one but try and focus on your little fighter xxx

Sorry to hear this lovely. So pleased your other one is doing well.

Try not to worry (easier said than done) take time to grieve and then you can focus on your little fighter and hopefully enjoy your pregnancy.

Good luck for your scan next week ❀️

Hi there, I remember you from another post when you kindly replied to me about the hysteroscopy and told me of your successful FET. I'm so sorry to hear that you've lost one of your darling twins. It must be just devastating. Please God your little one will stay safe and you will have a healthy pregnancy. Sending lots of positive vibes your way and good luck with the next scan xx

Thanks for your reply. Another emotional rollercoaster ride at the minute. Praying our little one stays strong. 🀞🏻🀞🏻

Did you have a hysteroscopy? Xx

I can only imagine....you're in my prayers. Thursday must seem a long time away. I've read so many stories about this happening to others and such positive endings. Sounds like your little one is doing great and there's no reason why they won't continue to do great. XXXX

Yes I had hysteroscopy - they removed a polpy and all else looked good...... im back on meds for our 4th attempt at FET.....
