At this point, I applaud you for everything that you have been through and surviving so many ordeals. I was on Cellcept but unfortunately it did a number on my stomach and I discontinued it. I'm glad that it is working for you, which it seems to for most people. On Cellcept pregnancy is not recommended, I have heard a 2 week old baby having to get nails of some sort put into its spine after being born from a mother that took cellcept. The best type of contraception are non-hormonal ones. You have two beautiful twins, learn to focus on your own health and taking care of them should come easy after that! They will thank you in the future and of course they want a healthy mom!
