Ridiculously late intro, but I'm tired of lurking! :)

[agapewarrior52]

Hi everyone, I'm almost 37yo, and almost 31 weeks with di/di b/g twins conceived via IVF #1 (male factor). I have been lurking here for months, because it is such a great community but I was so afraid of losing these little beans. I had major unexplained hemorrhaging weeks 10-20, scary liver issues in second trimester, and things finally seem to be settling down... minus the usual third trimester blues of course Anyway, I just want to thank all of you for your openness, empathy, and sense of humor. Oh, how I love how some of you make me laugh! I'm just happy to come out of the infertility closet at last. It was a loooong few years.

@agapewarrior52 Welcome! Another di/di momma, yay!

@kboveylmt Whoohooooo! Hi there - and love the nicknames Biggie & Smalls

 

[kboveylmt]

@agapewarrior52 Thank you! We are not for sure on the sexes yet....so they are still Biggie and Smalls, haha. Do you have nicknames for yours?

 

[agapewarrior52]

@kboveylmt It sounds terrible, but because of all the bleeding, we called them Bleeder 1 and Bleeder 2 for a long time. Then, when they started weighing ahead of the curve, we changed it to Husky and Boomer. Totally ridiculous. We still don't have real-life names either!

 

[kboveylmt]

@agapewarrior52 I love it. Real names are hard, aren't they? At least that's something fun to stress about at least. I'm sorry you have had a rough time, I'm glad you're as far as you are! Keep your fingers crossed for me.
