So which wk then can confirm if got twins?
Kind of upset and happy. Juz learnt 2 of my frens (whom i've long nrv met) gave birth this wk (both 2nd bundle of joy) and my SIL oso gave birth yesterday...Upset coz why so many pple ard me can conceive so easily whereas i can't? Happy for their new additions, yet envious and angry wif myself....it's something not within my control. Feel so helpless. This morning, my boy upset me again as he was throwing a tantrum and refused to get into car to school. In the end, i walked off without a word and let hubby drove him to school instead. So upsetting!

Heh heh today tested again on HPT. The line turn dark dark liao. Confirmed pregnant lah.
Alien,
Yeah I told my son cos I know he wants a playmate. I can tell from his actions. He always wanted someone to play with him. But I still tell him "I love you" everyday too. Just want to let him know that mummy still love him no matter what.
Catmon,
Woah if twins then congrats. I don't mind having twins also. Heh heh
crafy_yard,
Dun be upset. Your turn will come soon. I also didn't think I will get pregnant this round, cos I went to take blood test on DPO3 just to check if I am ovulating. Doc that time didn't mentioned anything and I had terrible cramps on the day I suppose to have period + super PMS.
End up viola, I am pregnant. I was supposed to start on clomid this month who baby arrived unexpectedly. I guess it will come when its your turn. Dun give up.
Baby dust to all of you who wants a baby!

Thanks girls for all your support.
Later I will go buy one clearblue. Pee on it then take the photo of the dark dark line down as a memory. I also did that for my first kid. Heh heh..
Catmon,
Why cannot cook? Today I am on MC (bad flu yesterday). I sleep and sleep the whole morning heh heh..
I heard of vanishing twin before. I saw it on the National Geo TV sometime 2 yrs ago. It is said to be pretty common. Actually having twins is more xin ku and higer risk compare to a singleton. But the joy of having twins also double. So don't think too much lah. Now rest as much as you can.
I keep taking naps. Somehow I have this thinking the more I sleep, the more baby will grow.

If you got twins, my turn to salute you. I always admire twins' mummy. Its so fun to have twins. My friend who have twins tells me sometimes she and her hubby will get mixed up, esp at night feeding, who have they fed and who have not.
Sounds chaotic but fun and happy to look after 2 at the same time.

hi catmon
congrats on 2 sacs! hope you get twins.. yes, there is the vanishing twin syndrome which is what happened to me, but my vanishing twin was very obvious at 6 weeks, 1 sac has strong bb heartbeat, the other sac empty ie blighted ovum. Before that I had lotsa bleeding, duno whether this bleeding caused the other sac to be gone..but im glad to have 1 healthy one at least
In fact, alot of women have this vanishing twin syndrome but most dun detect it cause they not so KS as us and do ultrasound scan so early...
By the time they scan, maybe 7-8 weeks, the other sac without any baby is already gone and they never knew they had twin sacs.. can google this term over internet..Hope your next scan will bring good news and you will see 2 heartbeats!
congrats sstarlight!!
alien, ignore the mummy and dun let it affect your mood and pregnancy...

I think Im ovulating today or tomorrow, duno cause never take temp or test opk, me and hubby BD once only and that's all, cause I want gal, dun want to bd near O... duno will strike or not, now im officially in 2ww

Vanishing Twin Syndrome occurs when one of a set of twin fetuses apparently disappears from the womb during pregnancy, usually resulting in a normal singleton pregnancy.
What really happens?
One of the fetuses in a twin pregnancy spontaneously aborts, usually during the first trimester; the fetal tissue is absorbed by the other twin, the placenta, or the mother, thus giving the appearance that the twin "vanished."
How is it diagnosed?
Here's a typical scenario: A mother undergoes a routine ultrasound early in her pregnancy, for example at six or seven weeks gestation. Two fetuses are detected. The mother is told she is having twins.
When the mother returns to the doctor six weeks later, only one heartbeat can be heard with a Doppler scan. Another ultrasound is performed. Only one fetus is identified.
In other cases, a pregnant mother experiences symptoms that would seem to mimic miscarriage; however the single baby in her womb remains unaffected.
How often does it happen?
Scientists have confirmed that the number of twin conceptions greatly outnumbers the number of actual twin births. Some estimates offer that 1 in 8 people started life as a twin, while in reality only 1 in 70 actually are a twin. In "Having Twins," author Elizabeth Noble claims that 80% of twin pregnancies result in the loss of one or both babies. Other studies predict that Vanishing Twin Syndrome occurs in 21 - 30% of all multiple pregnancies in the United States. It is estimated that Vanishing Twin Syndrome will play a role in 50% of assisted ovulation pregnancies.
Why is it happening more frequently?
Although it would seem that incidences of Vanishing Twin Syndrome are increasing with alarming frequency, it is simply that the detection of the phenomenon has increased. Advancements in ultrasound technology allow modern doctors (and parents) the exciting opportunity to peek into the womb. As more doctors routinely use ultrasound in the first trimester, more multiple pregnancies are identified. And a certain percentage of those will be affected by Vanishing Twin Syndrome. In the past, many women experienced VTS without ever knowing it.
What causes it?
Just as there is no clear attributable cause for most miscarriages, there aren't always reasons or explanations for the loss of a fetus in a multiple pregnancy. In some cases, the fetus is inviable due to chromosomal or placental abnormalities. Some studies suggest that because these abnormalities are more common in older women, Vanishing Twin Syndrome occurs more often in mothers of advanced age. Vanishing Twin Syndrome occurs with equal frequency in monozygotic and dizygotic twins, although the complications of sharing a placenta between monochorionic monozygotic twins may contribute to the condition. The vanished twin can die owing to a poorly implanted placenta, a developmental anomaly that may cause major organs to fail or be missing completely, or there may be a chromosome abnormality incompatible with life. Frequently the twin is a blighted ovum, one that never developed beyond the very earliest stages of embryogenesis
What are the symptoms?
There might not be any symptoms. However, some mothers experience some mild cramping, bleeding or pelvic discomfort, similar to miscarriage. Decreasing hormone levels may also indicate that one fetus has been resorbed.
What is the treatment?
Generally, neither the mother nor the remaining fetus will require any kind of medical treatment. When VTS occurs in the first trimester, the mother usually goes on to experience a normal pregnancy and delivers a healthy singleton. However, in situations where a fetus dies in the second or third trimester, the mother may experience pre-term labor, infection or hemorrhaging. In those cases, doctors will prescribe treatment appropriate for those conditions.

btw, my this cycle kind of strange. my temp very low througout CD1, maxi recording only at 36.3. Yesterday CD17, supposely O, coz got clear discharge, but temp rose instead. CD16 temp dip from 36.3-36.0, but only faint line detected. I've been BD-ing for a row of 3 days fr CD15 liao! *faint* now i wonder if i had caught the egg at the rite time...one of those confusing moments!
