So nervous and excited..kind of buggin!..I am almost 37..we r unexplained..have one son from a follistim cylce in 08..anyone in the same boat? would love to chat during this new experience!

Yay! I am glad it dispursed and that you and babies are well! Its so neat to see them moving around in there!! Our A is a dancer and B is always sleeping.  I was released to my OBGYN at our u/s on monday and have an apt with her on wednesday. I am SO excited to be a normal pregnant lady now instead of having a RE!! How are you feeling? I feel great and cant believe how fast these 12 weeks have flown by!! :-)

[Ebeth813]

I am so glad to hear the good news.  Been thanking about you alot.  Here's to a healthy pregnancy and babies.

[rodeobaby]

Update- we went to RE yesterday and had another U/S. SC Hemmotoma is spreading out and "dispursing". Doctor reports it is far from both placentas/umbilical cords so really poses no threat. Body will eventually reabsorb (likely by 20 weeks). I have had no more bleeding or cramping. Doctor also says we are past the point of being concerned with vanishing twin syndrome. So we breathing a huge sigh of relief! I am also approved to life 10 lbs again (whew!!!!). Babies are getting so big! They were moving around, and one kicked out it's little leg when it felt the push of the U/S wand- hilarious! (I think we are going to have our hands full with that one... always hiding or talking back!).  They both have strong heart beats... 170 and 174 bpm (like hummingbirds). I start with my OB on Monday at 9 weeks 3 days. Thanks everyone for your support last week.

[rodeobaby]

Well, they decided to keep me 2 weeks longer because of twins (she wanted to do a follow-up U/S to see if they both keep). I didn't mind since I looked forward to more pics. They plan to transfer me after 9 weeks (three more days). I already have OB appt set for the following business day. We'll see if this changes things. Thanks for the reassurance.

[ss712]

I believe it will all be fine. The bleeding which stops even if heavy(I have the experience)and not acompanied by pain is not to be worried about.The brown is just old blood coming out,good thing is there is no mre fresh blood. Twins is a high risk pregnancy and many a times it can cause obvious concerns to parents. Good Luck with your RE visit.(I am surprised you are still continuing with RE and not with OB!!)

[rodeobaby]

Thanks all for your support.

ss712, I bled heavily for 3 or 4 hours. I am still spotting, but dark brown now. I go to RE on Friday for recheck (they wanted to give it time to heal I think). Re office is telling me that Er report did not measure hemmorhage so I don't know how big it is or exact location. It did appear to be some distance from my embryos, but doctor told me it was a tear in the gestational sac, so what do I know? Maybe they aren't telling me how big becvause they don't want me to worry about something I can't treat anyways, and they are hoping to give me better news by Friday????

[Kristyingeorgia]

Unreal that we both have this! It is just a pregnancy thing, not twins or IVF so they say, I cant believe we share the same due date and are having the same experience!! SOOO Scary but we are going to be FINE!!!! As doom and gloom as most medical conditions are when you google Subchorionic Hemhorrage its not so scary. There are very rare instances that healthy babies like ours dont make it full term with the Subchorionic Hemhorrage. We just have to deal with scary bleeding and more check ups. Have you been cramping or did you have cramping when you were bleeding?

[jhopeful]

How are you feeling now?  That is so scary!  I have never heard of that befoe. That is a good sign though that they are growing and have strong heartbeats still. It is also reassuring that the dr still feels that you can have a healthy pregnancy after that.  Just "try" to relax.  I know easier said then done.  

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your babies!!!!

[ss712]

I am sorry to hear about bleeding.I can totally understand how scary the whol thing could be. But try to stay positive and most likely all will go well. FHR is a reassuring sign. Subchorionoc hemorr is very common and because of all latest tech in US,they are easy to pick up but maynot mean anything.Its bit worrisome if hemorrhage is more than 50%.

Try to relax.Are you still bleeding? For how many hrs did u bleed?

Will keep u in my prayers.

[rodeobaby]

Ladies, I had a terrible scare this weekend. I started bleeding (heavily- soaked one large pad per hour all AM) out of no where. We ended in up in the ER, I was sure I was miscarrying. U/S and bloodwork came back good. Babies are growing and showing strong heartbeats at 162 & 168 bpm. What a relief! I was diagnosed with a subchorionic hemhorrage. Now we wait and see if it heals itself or if the unimaginable happens. My doctor reassures me that it is still very possible for me to have a healthy, normal pregnancy, but this is so frightening. Has anyone ever heard of this or experienced it themselves? I understand that it happens in 1% of pregnancies, and the cause is unknown. I have been so careful throughout this pregnancy! Now I am not allowed to lift anything heavier than a milk carton, and I cannot ellevate my HR at all. Please pray for our babies, that they survive this!

[Ebeth813]

Thanke you ss712 and rodeobaby.  Went to my regular obgyn today.  Will not have the next u/s untill 11 weeks.  Just about 4 weeks a way.  Hope you girls are doing well.  Take care.

[rodeobaby]

I know this is days late, but sending you a big CONGRATS on your U/S!

[ss712]

Congratulations again!!!  That is amazing!!!  TWINS!!  It is the best feeling in the world to be trying for so long and then end up with two in the end!!!  

[rodeobaby]

Good luck this week! No matter the number, to see your baby and hear an actual heartbeat is so special. It makes it seem more real... like, "hey, we really are going to do this!". Also, it makes any nausea seem not so bad. When is your U/S? Keep us posted!

Congrat's.  I am so happy for your family.  Enjoy your pregnancy.  Take care of your self.  

I sure hope I get just as good as news as you and jhopeful have recevied this week.  My U/S is friday morning.  

[rodeobaby]

Thanks for all the prayers and well wishes. Our U/S was awesome this morning. My RE says, "There's your left ovary, still huge b/c your our stim superstar, and there's your right ovary, and... there are your TWINS!". (Big Smile). DH, "Shut up!" (in disbelief). Re, "Nope, not a joke. There they are". (It was hilarious). They are both good sized and both have a heartbeat of 120 BPM. Recheck in 2 weeks to make sure it sticks, but so far things are going better than expected. WOW! We are shocked and amazed.

[jhopeful]

Thank you!  Yes, we are just so excited and nervous... It's going to be double everything!!  LOL

[ss712]

Jhopeful: Double congratulations:) I can feel what you must be feeling:) Enjoy.

Rodeobaby: Good luck and keep us updated...
