Hi My name is Trish.
I found out I was pregnant on 2/26/07 for the first time after several failed IUI's and then finally a positive pregnancy test on our first IVF. We were so over joyed. Then we found out we were pregnant with twin boys. I was sailing through my pregnacy until June 18 when my doctor saw at a routine ultrasound that I had already dialated 2cm.I went on immediate hospital bedrest. Two weeks later my water broke and I delivered my beautiful angels at 22 weeks. Sean Gerald and Kevin Richard went to heaven together leaving behind devastated parents. No one could have told me the feeling of tremendous love and pain all at the same time. It still seems like such a dream. I miss and love my babies so much and think about them everyday. This has changed me and my husband so much. I doubt friends and family truly understand.
We had our first Frozen Embryo Transfer on Tuesday 10/2/07 and a pregnancy test is scheduled for 10/16. I pray so much and try to have faith but after losing my boys the innocence is gone.
I just wanted to share my story and ask for prayers for a positive pregnancy test.

Trish,
I just wanted to let you know that that I have experienced the same situation (almost exactly). I got pregnant with twin boys after several years of fertility treatments last summer. My husband and I were so excited. November 14, 2006, I went into labor (at 23 weeks)and Parker and Riley were born several hours later. They lived for about 2 hours. We were devastated.

You are right. Our friends and family were supportive, but no one really knew how we were feeling, or what to say. Fortunately, the people at MEND have been so supportive. It is so helpful to hear from people who have been through the same experience. Saying that, it is still hard. Even though I know my boys are with God, I feel sad for the time that my husband and I have lost with them. It is not as hard as it was 6 months ago, though. Each day/ week/month gets a little better.

This past summer, I was able to get pregnant again by using an IUI, and we are expecting a little girl in late February. We are both excited and extremely nervous.

I hope your pregnancy test comes out the way you want it and everything else goes well. God is so good, but I always have to remember God is in charge, and I have to follow him.

You are in my prayers.
Cheryl

I am sorry for the loss of your twins. I lost my twins four weeks ago yesterday. I never got to hold them while they were alive. I know that each day and week will get better, but it doesn't seem like a month already that they have been gone. I read that you were expecting a little girl in February, how is that going? Lindsey
