    I'm so sorry for your loss. I did IVF and at my first ultrasound they saw what appeared to be a second sac but it was empty. I was so happy to have one healthy baby but it was, and still is, bittersweet to think of the "what ifs." I handled it ok emotionally until I was around 7 months and someone looked at my belly and asked if I was sure I wasn't having twins. That broke me. Enjoy the rest of your pregnancy and focus on the positive. It really is an amazing time!

    @Leialou: I'm so so sorry for the loss of one of your twins. I think it is only human to feel bittersweet about where you are at. I didn't have conclusive evidence of a vanishing twin, myself, just a suspicion, & I still felt grief over that possible lost twin while feeling so grateful to have 1 growing baby. Thinking of you & wishing all the best for your growing little miracle.

    So sorry for your loss but happy to hear that Baby A is thriving! I think it is unfortunately fairly common with multiples

    I am so sorry for your loss. There were two moms in our birth month group (April Mamas) who lost one twin fairly early on as well. I'm sure that you could talk to one of them if you have any questions. Baby A looks super cute and healthy!

    Sorry mama. My supervisor has twins (they are teens now) and she actually had a third baby that died early on. She did IVF and was an older mom (not sure if you are or not), but was able to carry the remaining babies to full term. I'm glad your baby A looks healthy and growing strong. Hang in there.

    I'm sorry for your loss. Bitter & sweet is right. Wish it was all sweet, but so glad for the sweet nonetheless.

    I'm so sorry for your loss. Baby A looks adorable and I'm glad to hear healthy too.

    You probably already saw my posts on the Oct board but our case was a little different, we didn't know about the second one until it had already stopped developing. We still felt a little mixed about everything but were so grateful to have one viable one in there. I know your case is different though, and I'm so sorry for your loss and wish you healing and a happy healthy pregnancy the rest of the way through.

    I'm sorry to hear. I know the two IF ladies shared about their loss in the pregnancy after IF thread. Baby A looks super big & healthy!

    I'm sorry for your loss.

    My story is similar to @2littlepumpkins: With LO1, I passed a very strange greyish mass around 6 weeks, but it didn't seem to be a miscarriage and I just chalked it up to wierd pregnancy things and my OB's office said it didn't sound like a miscarriage since I wasn't having any bleeding. My 1st ultrasound was at 10 weeks, we only saw one healthy baby and all was well. I had another scan at 12 weeks and the tech saw a 2nd empty sac at that one. So it seems that we did have a vanishing twin. I think because we knew we already had one healthy baby and hadn't even considered the possibility of twins, it was a little less shocking. It did feel a little strange for awhile to think of the what ifs, but I didn't really get upset about it. Clearly, my situation is very different than yours (I had no problems TTC), but it's definitely normal to have a wide range of emotions. I hope the rest of your pregancy is healthy and smooth!

    Send lots of love your way - any kind of loss is hard. There was a great post on scary mommy about losing a twin in the past week or so. Will look for it and wall you if I can find it. Just like any loss I am sure time will help you heal (sometimes lots and lots of it) and I am so happy to see baby A looking so great! Xoxo

    I'm so sorry

    L was originally a twin. I had a previous ectopic pregnancy, so when I got pregnant with L I was having a lot of early ultrasounds to make sure the pregnancy was progressing as it should. I was shocked to see TWO babies at 4.5 and 5.5 weeks! When I went back at 7 weeks for the heartbeats, it looked like L's twin had just stopped growing. I would be lying if I said it still didn't make me sad today. Looking at L playing and wondering how much different her life would be with a twin sibling...

    There are all sorts of things I tell myself about the situation to make myself feel better. I can share if you want, but otherwise congrats on your healthy and wonderfully growing baby!!

    This happened to a very good friend of mine. They still remember the twin and plan to tell their daughter about her twin. I will see if I can get her on to tell you her experience.
