Pregnant with Twins?

I was born with defects.  All there is to it.  I have PCOS (polycystic ovarian syndrome) and Endometriosis.  I was diagnosed with Endometriosis before I got married and so we knew, going into our marriage, that getting pregnant might be difficult.  Also, throughout my life I constantly felt sick after certain meals or treats and we could never figure it out.  We tried everything...food diaries, lactose intolerance, etc.  When we tried to get pregnant and it wasn't working out, my sister-in-law told me to look into PCOS.  I had quite a few of the symptoms: irregular periods, weight gain due to birth control hormones, facial hair, etc.  My OBGYN did not share our diagnosis of PCOS however and put me on Clomid.  I took Clomid (50, 100, and then 150)  for 3 cycles (which ended up taking about 6 months due to my irregularity).  He then referred me to a fertility specialist.  Almost the minute we walked into the specialist's office, he diagnosed me with PCOS.  He put me on metformin and after about 6 months I ovulated for the first time.  One week after we found out, from my progesterone count, that I had ovulated, we found out that I was pregnant.  I had quite a few friends tell me that they wanted to go on Clomid so that they could get pregnant with twins.  I had never thought of that, I just wanted to get pregnant.  One of my friends even bought Clomid on ebay so that she could get twins (it didn't work by the way) :).  You only have a 5% chance of getting pregnant with twins on Clomid.  I myself was on Clomid, Metformin, Femara, and progesterone supplements when I got pregnant.

People constantly ask how I knew I was pregnant with twins.  There are a few signs that made us suspicious. After taking a home pregnancy test we got a blood test (to test the HCG levels) at the fertility specialist.  My HCG level was double that of a normal pregnant woman.  That doesn't necessarily mean you are pregnant with twins, but it could.  Also, I was on fertility drugs, so I knew there was a chance.  Some people say your pregnancy  symptoms are worse when you are pregnant with twins--however, I was actually less sick than most people with a singleton pregnancy. Lastly, my husband had major intuition that I was having twins.  He would say prayers every night for "the babieS."  When I was 7 weeks along we went in for an ultrasound to detect if there was more than one fetus since I had been on fertility medication.  I was terrified that they wouldn't find any heartbeat.  The doctor asked why I was nervous and I told him I just hoped the baby was okay.  As he began the ultrasound (it was a vaginal ultrasound) he said "oh, I know why you are nervous."  I was terrified.  He then followed it with, "see those two little sacks?  Those are your twins."  My husband and I burst into tears.  It was the best news we could have received.  I was shocked, he was happy to be right :).  So, there you have it.  Pregnant with twins.
