Now that I have your attention, no I'm not pregnant. Those days are past -- this uterus is closed for business. I found out about 2 weeks ago that my sister is pregnant and then last week that she is pregnant with identical twins. My sister and her husband are a bit shocked and overwhelmed. I think the odds of having identical twins are something like 1 in 300. For them, the situation is even more complicated because they are living in India. She will come back to the US to deliver. My sister had a very routine pregnancy with no complications for her first child and was expecting/hoping for the same this go around -- so much for planning.
I did a lot of research about twins when I started fertility treatments, since I knew that was a risk and we were so concerned about having twins given by prior history. It is coming in handy now, so I can give helpful advice. I'm definitely struck by the irony of the situation, though. I took fertility drugs and end with one wonderful baby and my sister gets pregnant the "old fashion way" and ends up with twins. Keep your fingers crossed that it all works out well.
