| Twins or More Just when we thought having one baby was tricky enough, mums to multiples often have extra challenges with two or more babies of the same age. If you are a mum to twins or more, this is where you can exchange experiences and support with others. |

Hi Shell and welcome to BB
I was pg with twins naturally however lost both of them last year. After the m/c there was a lot of damage done to my tubes, so I had to go onto IVF to try to have another pg. 2nd go at IVF and I am now pg with twins. So we are a bit of both, natural and IVF. HTH |

Hi Shell,
My SIL has 2 sets of twins and both of these were natural and she was in her early 20's when she had them.
Doctor's told her that if she went back for another go she would more than likely have triplets!

I conceived my first and second set naturally but after taking clomid for a long time. I was taking a break when we conceived both sets. Don't know if the clomid had a residual effect.
My first set were born when I was 24 and these little guys are almost exactly one decade on!! Twins every ten years!
Both sets are fraternal.

Ahhh no probs, thanks Kelly Was wondering if it was a co-incidence with all the twin mums about but must just be lots of them about. All the best for your pregnancy!

I found BellyBelly from my IVF pregnancy HandBook. I think it's a great website.

Hi Trish,
The doctor put me on bed rest. That's why I don't write very often these days. How are you?
