Pregnant but no symptoms???

Hi I am 8 1/2 weeks with twins. This is my first pregnancy. We conceived using 1st try IVF 2 eggs and both took....
The Dr had me on alot of drugs b4 and I gained 3-4 lbs and had cramping bb tenderness and mood swings. Then I started on progesterone for 6 weeks and that gave me cramps and 3-4lb extrra weight gain. I havent had any M/S or nausea or extreme fatigue just sore breast that grow by the day and weight gain that I feel is out of control. 8.5 weeks along and total I have gained 12lbs since starting in end of Jan. Everything I read say you should have 2x symptoms with twins and I should have something by now and a lot of woman lose weight or gain no weight in 1st. Now I am worried that something is wrong or puts me at risk for gest diab. babies are both on track with 167,177 HB measuring 7W5D,8W1D at my 8week 1 day U/S....... I cant believe I may be the only woman wishing for morning sickness to make me feel secure..

I know this is an old post.. but YOU AND I ARE IN THE SAME BOAT.. I mean exactly! I did ivf and transferred two embies as well, they both took (thank God). i had to do progesterone in oil injections first.. then the suppositories. They had me with sore boobs, mood swings, the works. All but nausea. I'm exactly 11wks today, (i will be 37 in 2mths) and i have nothing really going on but the slight twinge of nausea and cramping. I go in for my ultrasound tomorrow, but I am mortified!!  i do hope that all is well with you and you had you little ones healthy and happy!!

Hello Ladies Today is my offical 9 weeks. We met with the OB yesterday and she seems nice . We were finally able to hear both HB so sweet and Baby B is so fast and strong she was happy to be able to find both to hear.
The DR did tell me that if I havent had any symptoms then I really wont have to worry about them now. wooo.  She said not to worry and as IO see here :) that alot of woman with and without twins have no symptoms and to count ourselfs LUCKY.  
My only issue is that the last 3 days my lips have been so DRY and I generally know that if that happens to me I will end up getting a cold sore. I would generally take a valrex pill when I feel it and it would never come out and go away but I have avoided it for fear that I can not take it while preg and forgot about it. Now I woke up this morning and my whole upper  lip is huge and I have 2 on each side OMG this is the worst it has been since I was in college and really stressed. I have not had one in almost a year and forgot how horrible they are, Now I am waiting on a call from the Dr to make sure I can take a few pills Thank God I have some on hand... Urrrgh horrible day.
I hope everyone elses day is better. :)

Hi ladies, I am 7 weeks 3 days today and have not had much nausea and no vomitting. My boobs are very tender and have been very tired though. I have my first U/S tomorrow morning at 0930 central time and am so nervous about it. I'm scared the baby has stopped growing or there is no hb. i keep thinking that it's just too good to be true. I have been waiting 3 weeks for this U/S and now I'm so scared about the unknown. Congrats Martin on your twins and two healthy babies. I'm very excited for you. Now that you have seen the hbs you should relax and just start enjoying your pregnancy. I think also to make sure you drink a ton of water. That should help with some of the weight gain. A lot could be contributed from water weight. Hugs

Hi Ladies, Thanks for the replies. I am glad I feel alittle at ease knowing that you all have had pregnancies with no vomiting. These damn books have me paranoid, some say that nausea and vomiting are signs of good strong hormone and baby(babies) and I also read that twins it should be double MS trouble. I agree with all with the weight gain being tied to eating. I seem to have NO filter on Full..... I can just eat and eat and now I wake in the middle of the night to pee and my stomach tries to sneak up on me by saying hey lets eat. lol.  I just say no but for how long , i dont know....
I am really hoping to be placed on high risk mon when we meet with the OB/GYN since I am having twins and will be 35 in 3 weeks. That way my INS will cover all extra ultrasounds and I would like to to push for an early anatomy scan around 12-14 weeks to find out the sex's  :-).

I am starting to wonder if there isn't a better book out there then the "what to expect when your expecting"

My siblings are twins. I've got two sets of twin siblings, my poor mother lol. I know I have a chance that I could end up with twins and my husband keeps teasing me saying I'm going to have twins. I've always said that I can't be expecting twins coz I'd feel really sick and all symptoms would be more than normal . Now I know you can expect twins and still feel normal the possiblility of twins still stands for me:/

This is my second pregnancy and my symptoms are so different to my first one. I've suffered with extreme tiredness and tender boobs again but no nausea like me first . Don't worry about the weight gain, I did exactly the same in my first pregnancy and I'm putting on weight again this time but not as quick and as much as last time. I fancy meat, cakes and crisps all the time (not together though he he) so that's prob why I'm putting on weight again!

Hi hon, while I did not do the egg plant things, I am pregnant about 7 1/2 Weeks. I have no nausea. Only heart burn and breast tenderness. Its normal to not have alot of symptoms. I've also gained fast. But I blame it on the junk food i'm craving lol. Good luck!

congrats , you not the only one I was like that the first time i was pregnant and i sad thank you i am so happy when i was vomitting but later i was not so happy i was vomiting 24/7. this pregnancy is easier on me. Many woman's do not experienced any symptoms, your body might be used to hormones that you took .
