I think it's a 2nd time mom/short torso thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1668545 Fri, 30 May 2014 10:23:17 +0000 winniebee 1668545@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: nope went off pill had one period then before got next period was pregnant. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1668426 Fri, 30 May 2014 09:53:13 +0000 MaryM 1668426@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You don't necessarily alternate ovaries. </p> <p>When you say you had one cycle, does that include a period? Because you can ovulate before you get your first period, so you might have actually ovulated twice. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1668409 Fri, 30 May 2014 09:49:43 +0000 winniebee 1668409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaryM: I was on the pill for awhile before getting pregnant - I just had one cycle prior to getting pregnant this time and I think you alternate sides you ovulate from?...but who knows the larger cyst could have been there since last pregnancy? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1668392 Fri, 30 May 2014 09:47:13 +0000 MaryM 1668392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If one cyst is big and the other was small, it could be that one was leftover from the last month you ovulated.</p> <p>Since last fall (since I had my first US before my MC), I've always had 2 cysts. Sometimes they "swap" ovaries or locations, but there hasn't been a time that I haven't had two cysts. </p> <p>I would think if they both formed during the same ovulation, chances are they'd be similar in size. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1668359 Fri, 30 May 2014 09:41:03 +0000 winniebee 1668359@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Trailmix: oh good to know they saw them at 6 weeks!</p> <p>@littlek: I could but would feel silly since I have an appt in less than 2 wks anyways :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1667784 Fri, 30 May 2014 06:51:10 +0000 Trailmix 1667784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I think we're talking about the same person, lol...it's probably not twins, in your case, just bc the likelihood is pretty slim! I know at my 6-week u/s, it was very obvious there was more than one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1667754 Fri, 30 May 2014 06:22:36 +0000 littlek 1667754@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: if you are concerned, why not call midwife and tell them your concerns and see if they will bring you in for US? Since you were high risk last time they will definitely want extra monitoring for you if you have a twin pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1666972 Thu, 29 May 2014 19:54:46 +0000 winniebee 1666972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: lol now I feel like it will be a let down after the next u/s! There are a LOT of December moms and no twins yet.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1666922 Thu, 29 May 2014 19:44:20 +0000 regberadaisy 1666922@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: haha I think you are having what I call second time mom fear that we all went through. HOLY SHIT what am I going to do if they are twins. Albeit, crazy me did want twins. :P<br /> You're def bigger than you were the first time around by now. But when I was pregnant with M my SIL was only one week ahead of me and she was twice the size of me by the point you were now and probably almost twice as big as you are now at this point. No joke. She just had a ton of amniotic fluid. I think likely you're just carrying bigger this time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1666868 Thu, 29 May 2014 19:32:28 +0000 sandy 1666868@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: now I'm super excited for your next u/s. My good friend has twins and was definitely extra sick with her twin pregnancy. I was thinking you being super sick meant a baby girl BUT maybe it's twins :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1666849 Thu, 29 May 2014 19:29:07 +0000 chopsuey 1666849@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not crazy! Twins would be so much fun!! :D </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1666809 Thu, 29 May 2014 19:23:17 +0000 winniebee 1666809@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ShootingStar: That is a very good point :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1666767 Thu, 29 May 2014 19:13:53 +0000 ShootingStar 1666767@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The month I got pregnant I ovulated two eggs (I was being monitored by an RE) and have just one baby. So you might very well have had multiple eggs, but that doesn't mean both necessarily get fertilized. Ask all the IF moms who go through IUI and IVF :-). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1666755 Thu, 29 May 2014 19:11:39 +0000 winniebee 1666755@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rachiecakes: gah! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1666732 Thu, 29 May 2014 19:06:58 +0000 rachiecakes 1666732@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: !! could be! one of my favorite blogger/designers/local gal found out at 19 weeks: <a href="http://www.curlygirldesign.com/blog/index.php/view/oh_babies" rel="nofollow">http://www.curlygirldesign.com/blog/index.php/view/oh_babies</a> :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1666683 Thu, 29 May 2014 18:57:44 +0000 winniebee 1666683@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Trailmix: I know someone with a similar story and that's what's freakin me out! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1666582 Thu, 29 May 2014 18:36:27 +0000 Trailmix 1666582@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: I actually know someone who had an early ultrasound (7-8 weeks, I think) and only saw one baby and then when she went back for her anatomy scan at 17 weeks...surprise! Twins :) It can happen but no way to know without another ultrasound :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1666378 Thu, 29 May 2014 17:03:31 +0000 winniebee 1666378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: Thanks :) I would be excited too after the initial holy sh*t wore off!</p> <p>@Mrs. Blue: yeah, like for NT scan and anything more complicated you have to go to Santa Fe. The machine did seem pretty high tech (and I had a lot of u/s in Boston!) I do like the prenatal care here in general though! And, thanks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1666354 Thu, 29 May 2014 16:48:30 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1666354@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Yeah, I was actually wandering about the quality of the machine they would use there! I figured they didn't have a permanent u/s facility, but I was just thinking that my OB always listened for both heartbeats with a doppler, so maybe they could do that! Since ours were identical, I only had one egg released. Well, at least, I only had one fertilized, etc. That stat is crazy, but it doesn't say whether it accounts for women who refuse u/s, etc. so take it for what it is. You're so tiny that it makes sense you would show quickly! And for the record, you look super cute. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1666342 Thu, 29 May 2014 16:42:21 +0000 Rainbow Sprinkles 1666342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: here is my very very unscientific response:<br /> you do look noticeably pregnant for how far along you are. Like, cute pregnant. But that also could be to the fact that a) different pregnancies carry differently (and this is your second, after all) b) you are a pretty tiny woman and so the bump doesn't really have anywhere to "go" to hide, and c) you could just be growing in spurts. Maybe you will stay this size for a while and everything will all catch up later on.</p> <p>but for what it's worth, i would be pretty damn excited if it was twins. it would be amazing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1666328 Thu, 29 May 2014 16:37:40 +0000 winniebee 1666328@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Blue: 3% until birth in the united states?!?!?! It was a thorough ultrasound (transvag where she measured ovaries and everything) not just a quick "let's peek and see if you're pregnant". I'm probably just being crazy! </p> <p>I did show on the earlier side with #1 since I'm petite but nothing like this, but again, most women show sooner second pregnancy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1666324 Thu, 29 May 2014 16:36:08 +0000 winniebee 1666324@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: Thanks for weighing in!!</p> <p>@Mrs. Blue: Since you know where I live....the OB office here doesn't even have an u/s machine! They only have a tech come in on certain days. So I don't think I can just run in and get one. I'm tempted though :) Do you remember if you had 2 cysts?</p> <p>There is always the chance that I simply had one cyst before ovulation and the other is the corpus luteal cyst. The tech and I didn't really discuss it. She just noted one was small and one was large and that they would follow up on that at my NT scan to see if growing/shrinking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1666320 Thu, 29 May 2014 16:35:17 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1666320@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: If you're ultrasound seemed really thorough and was with a good machine, I think you're probably in the clear! @BakerBee: Yes, I think "hiding" twins is more common in identicals. </p> <p>Okay, the only stat my quick googling could find is that 3% of twins go undetected until birth. Crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1666315 Thu, 29 May 2014 16:31:43 +0000 littlek 1666315@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: based on how thorough your US was my guess is they would have seen a 2nd baby. I think you just get bigger faster with 2nd pregnancies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1666306 Thu, 29 May 2014 16:29:40 +0000 twodoghouse 1666306@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At 6.5 weeks there was absolutely no question that there were two sacs on the ultrasound pic. We saw them immediately. Of course there's always those stories of a twin hiding behind the other one, etc. But I don't think it's that common. When's your next appt? Hopefully you will get answers soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-for-thinking-im-having-twins#post-1666302 Thu, 29 May 2014 16:27:19 +0000 LBee 1666302@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@winniebee: Since you ovulated twice, I would think (but @Mrs. Blue: correct me if I'm wrong) that it would have to be fraternal twins and thus two sacs would be seen. Meaning the chances of one hiding (which occurs with identical twins) would be pretty much none? </p>
