You are smart to wait. You are lucky you are young and can wait.
Syd is 4 and a GREAT help.
And God forbid you end up with 2 again….you’ll be more prepared.

I have two children and they were both born early. I’m not sure what it would be like to have 2 early babies at once. It was hard doing them one at a time. And I always say, if it weren’t for our camera, I wouldn’t have any memories of their first years at all because for the first six months you are too exhausted and feel like you’re living in a fog, and the second six months just fly by!

Best wishes for the second time around. I think it’s wise to wait until the girls are 4. My oldest was almost 4 when my daughter was born.

Pretty nice to have ‘just’ one after twins… The odds of pregnancy if you transfer one frozen embryo in each of two cycles is very close to that of transferring two in a single cycle – but almost eliminates the chance of twins. Many European countries have switched to eSET (elective single embryo transfer), especially in women who are under 35.

I also envy those that seem so care-free during their pregnancies. Any further IVF cycles that I do will also be with just one embryo, because I can’t handle the bed rest and most of all the fear that I had during my twin pregnancy. I feel like I was sooo lucky that I carried them to term and what are the odds that I can be that lucky again?

I have all the same pregnancy fears. Is it weird to say that I envy that you know you can’t carry twins, and therefore should be able to avoid the problems you faced? I just wish I had answers. I won’t ever enjoy being pregnant, either. It’s such a bummer. I’m so glad Neve and Soleil have each other. I wish Maddie had a twin sometimes for the exact same reason.

I think you’ve done a great job in taking this year to heal and take care of yourself by losing the weight (wish I could say the same) and getting back into therapy (also, wish I could say the same). The healing is definitley apparent through your writing.
I feel the same about my embryos as you do…we’ve got five and while I’d love to know what it feels like to get pregnant the good ‘ol fashioned way, I know there pretty much a >1% chance of that happening and I feel like I need to give my fab five a shot at life. But, like you, I only want to transfer one so we’ll probably only thaw out two at a time…not sure how I will handle it if they both make the thaw but I’ll cross that bridge when and if we get there!
Sounds like you guys have a good plan!
