All the best with TTC Parki.
I'm sure any comments about not wanting twins were intended in a light hearted manner - mine certainly were. |
Im pretty sure they were too

We're thinking of a third child, and I would like to make it twins... 
Any further info on those herbal remedies (names etc...)? They could have them at the homeopath's or the health store?

I have to say that I would have been pleased to have twins coz after trying for 18 months it is scary to think of going that long again trying and only getting older at the same time. So I totally get where you are coming from Parki.
The only thing I reckon is that it would be hard if you had twins first then another one, coz the youngest one I bet would feel left out.
Not sure, but doesn't taking clomid increase chances of multiple births as that stimulates ovaries.

I think it would be hard having a singleton frist as they would have all the attention for so many years and then suddenly have TWO babies stealing all that attention 
Sometimes I think it would be really interesting having twins and then I see mums chasing after their 2 littlies and I am relieved I only have one at a time. My hat goes off to all twin mummies, they really do an incredible job!

Yes that is true! I just imagined it from the younger siblings point of view, being left out of things, whereas older siblings are not so fussed, busy being 'growned up'.
But then that is me thinking from a third child point of view hehe....poor little third child!

I always thought twins were a "random thing", i dont think you can really increase your chance of having them, you either do or dont...
But good luck!

I too love the idea of twins - DH and I would be so happy to never have to TTC ever again!
First we just have to get pregnant with ANY baby!

Haha twins so run in my family! I want a set and DP goes white at the thought he didn't realise they were so prevalent in my family until we were talking about it and the thought that it might actually be a possibility had him freaked!! Poor guy 
Good luck Parki!

Twins do tend to be random. I have identical twins in every generation of my family, on both my mum and dad's sides, whereas DH has none in his family. My specialist has commented that a few twin mums that have conceived twins after a miscarriage - but I wouldn't recommend that for anyone. Also a few twin mums I have heard of have been on progesterone supplements due to fertility/miscarriage problems....again, not an option I would recommend!! Unfortunately, I conceived both after a m/c, and I was on progesterone pessaries. I still NEVER thought I was having twins and you could have blown me over with a feather when I found out (there's actually a thread in the TTC threads about it, the day I found out....)
It's pretty much luck of the draw I guess. And the thought of two is terrifying by the way Especially the logistics of it all - two of everything, a car big enough for two carseats PLUS anything else you need (eg. any other people you need to take anywhere), double the nappies, double the feeding, double the washing....

Twins are fantastic fun! and not as hard work as most presume. The down side however is multiple pregnancy's are automatically classed as high risk there are so many things that can go wrong. Our bodies are horribly designed to carry one baby let alone 2! I would be stoked if I got another set of twins next time but if there actually was a choice I would never choose to be pregnant with twins. I've spoken to so many Mothers in another forum that have gotten to 5 or 6 months then gone into labor resulting in losing one or both babies. I never realized how risky this type of pregnancy was until I was faced with all the what ifs.

Haha it is a good deal. My sister was 37 when she got pregnant with twins she was so stoked because she wanted more than one baby but had resigned herself to only having one pregnancy.

Ha ha well it seems a million years ago that I started this thread & is completely irrelevant now!
My chances of conceiving twins is damn near impossible as they will only be implanting one egg during ourIVF treatment!
Good luck to those who are TTC twins though
