Hi. Wanted to post an update from my 7 week scan today.
As the title suggests, it went amazingly (despite my husband not being allowed in) and I am pregnant with twins. Both measuring exactly right and hearts beating strong as they're supposed to.
Just incredibly happy, excited, shocked, and relieved (most of all). Would have been happy with 1. Really! But knowing it's twins is feeling incredibly special to us. Beyond happy today; almost bouncy. Thank you for all your support. Couldn't have got through all this without you guys. xxxxxxx

Thank you. Shocked by the number of twins posts recently.... hopefully it's not hard to see for those struggling atm, but yes, shocked by all the twins posts, and shocked I am now one of them! So excited!
I know, it's great to see! I'm still on shock at the moment, doesnt feel real at all but yes so exciting!! I'm sure these posts give nothing but hope!!xxx
Oh this is the best news ever 💖 welcome to the twin club. There does seem to be something in the air. I’m so happy for you both as I’ve followed your journeys. Wishing you both all the best xxxxx
Wow just came on to see if you’d posted as was remembering your scan was today and up this popped 💞👏🏼🥰HUGE congratulations this is such incredible news. So so special. Over the moon for you. Enjoy this moment and pin that special pic up & look at it was pride 🥰xxx
Thank you so so much. That's really sweet. Completely enjoying this moment! And so happy to share it with people. Have told a couple of close relatives already! x
Thanks Vhee!! It's really heartwarming to hear that people I don't know on a forum want to know what's happening with my fertility journey! Twin buddy. x x
I'm doing really well, hopefully going to be starting my first cycle asap so very much hoping for beginners luck. One can dream, right!? 😅 thank you so much for asking, that's really kind. You must be absolutely buzzed from your news today 🤪 enjoy the happiness xx
No reason it shouldn't work on your first try! Really hope it does. The news was buzz-inducing, yes, thanks! I just want to tell the whole world, but even telling close people at this stage feels strange because of this 12-week cultural thing. I will try to tear down taboos one *baby* step at a time! x
I’m so sorry daddy couldn’t be in the room, how disappointing for you both, that really does suck after everything you’ve been through together to get to this point. I feel so sorry for dads and couples where covid is affecting things like this. But the main thing is the good news! Congratulations xxx
Thanks Scarlett. Yeah, it was disappointing, but would have been worse if it was bad news. Completely understand about Covid, but completely disagree with the rules (you know; the whole - I can go to a pub as a pregnant lady with 5 other people (I'm not), but my husband can't come to our scans. Doesn't make any sense!). It's good news, though, and that's what matters now!
Thanks Ranchu! Was starting to believe we'd never have one baby, so twins hasn't exactly been on our radar (until these past couple of weeks where I was hoping for twins, but couldn't tell anybody as it would sound ridiculous!). So so happy. xxxxxx
Thanks! Yes, the NHS in our area is letting partners in at the 12 week scan (currently - that might change depending on what happens with Covid). Super fingers crossed he can be in for that one. x
Hi lovely. Thank you. Twins do run in my family (and I'm a twin), but it might be related to the two (day 3) embryos we had put back.... Although, even then, our most likely outcome of transfers has been zero implantation, so even 1 to stick would have been a complete blessing. xxxx
Thank you. Twins again! I thought the number of twins in this group recently would mean stats-wise I would be less likely to be told it was twins, but not so! Very happy for everone. x
Oh my goodness, I havnt been on here for a while and got such a lovely surprise - Emmie I’m delighted for you 💕 what lovely news you must be beyond ecstatic. Huge congratulations I’m thrilled for you xxx
Definitely horrible for them missing out on such a wonderful experience I feel so sorry for the dads that’s when it feels real to them . ☹️My husband was at home with our daughter (she doesn’t like long journeys)who is a lovely distraction. We are looking into a private gender scan so he can see the baby- the way it stands he can attend the 20 week scan but they said that might change 😬 xxx
That's a shame for your husband, but a good idea to book another private scan so he can see the baby. We might have to do that if the rules change for the 12 week... xxx
I can't believe the numbers of twins atm either! But it is so good to see positive news on this site. Especially this year when there was so much bad news for all of us throughout the year. Thank you. xxx
Thank you. I did have IVF. This was my fifth transfer. Previously we always had single embryo transfers on day 5 (blastocyst), but we clearly weren't getting anywhere with that, so this time I had two embryos transferred on day 3. xxxx
Thank you, that's fantastic news! I was eager to know as I have been suggested to have two embryos transferred on my next round of IVF and I have read so many contradicting articles (which I probably shouldn't have, but hey, this is a big deal and I am curious!) so it is fantastic to know of a success story. Have you done anything differently this time compared to your other times? xx
My drive to have a day 3 transfer was driven by my lack of trust in the clinic not to throw away all our embryos at day 5. Basically, I was worried about having anything to transfer at all. And because they were doing a day 3 transfer, and because this is our 5th transfer, they were happy to transfer 2. And then, as predicted, they got rid of all our other embryos on day 5. As we have had trouble with 1 implanting, can't say I was expecting both to implant, but very excited that they have! I don't think we've done anything else different - same drugs/protocol etc. Maybe it is just luck? I would like my clinic to do more things differently! x
Thank you, my love. I really hope you get your baby soon, and I'm sorry you're being made to wait. We've all had our own sh*tty journeys on here and we all deserve our babies! I'm still anxious about this pregnancy, obviously, but so excited. Thank you xxxx
Congratulations! I’ve just read your amazing news. You replied to one of my messages earlier in the year and I really appreciated it. I’m going through round 3 now and it’s so wonderful to hear your success after so much waiting. Sending love. Xx
