Are your twins a result of IVF or natural conception?

Hi,

I was just wondering if most of the twin pregnancies on the forum are the result of natural conception or IVF. I am assuming a good number of you did IVF but I could be wrong. As for us, we did IVF/ICSI/ART and got pregnant with boy/girl fraternal twins on the first try!

 

We were close to seeing a fertility specialist. We tried for 2 years and got NO WHERE and finally we got pregnant the old fashioned way. So our ID twin boys are of natural conception, and MUCH to our surprise I might add :laughing:

 

ours are conceived with Follistim and IUI - I have PCOS...

 

Natural! No family hx of twins.

 

Both.



7 years unknown infertility - b/g twins first try at IVF.

2 years later, breastfeeding twins & getting older got me pregnant with another set spontaniously, but one was vanishing.

I should add I have no family history.

 

Naturally conceived while using barrier methods of birth control. :blink:

 

Ours are natural too! No twins in either of our families.

 

Mine were natural, I have a strong fam hx of twins. Mine were mono/di however.

 

Mine are identical, natural and still a total surprise

 

spontaneous IDs

 

Neither. Clomid and IUI, our 3rd try with them after 2 years of no luck on our own. I was so worried we wouldn't conceive via that method (and we didn't have the money for IVF) - but we got doubly lucky!

 

My girls are Spontaneous Identical's. :good:

 

IVF/ICSI on the first try, thankfully!

 

Both for me too.

My twins are result of gonal-f with timed intercourse

I got pg on my own with triplets but all were blighted ovums a couple months before I got pg with m&m.

 

The opposite of natural is artificial. Perhaps you meant spontaneous?

Anyway, I'm not telling on the internet. :woohoo: I'm just thrilled to have two happy, healthy babies!

 

Mine were spontaneous b/g following a miscarriage and 8 months of trying again. They are number 7&8 and first set of twins. My DH has a set a fraternal aunts and my grandfathers sisters were ID... seems pretty removed to call it a history of twins... we call it a miracle!

 

Both sets are completely spontaneous...and NO family history of twins! There is now!! LOL!

 

Mine were natural ID's.. and a huge surprise!

 

They were a spontaneous shock. They continue to be quite spontaneous and shocking everyday!! :laughing::wub:

 

Both!

On our first IVF the doc put back 2 3-day embryos. Only one took - and then it split! We have identical girls on the way.

Strong family history of twins on both my side and my hubby's side.

 

Spontaneous frat boys here. DH is a frat twin as well but that has no bearing on it!!! Other than that, no family history. I would point out that I was also over 30, overweight, tall, had previous pregnacies and was hormonally imbalanced. All factors for twins apparently. Didn't know any of that while we were conceiving. :tease:

 

We used clomid and conceived frat boys the first round.

 

We did a FET after a failed IVF attempt.

 

Natural ID's.

 

Natural here!!!!! A huge surprise but I can't wait to have my boys in my arms!!!!!!

 

Natural frats here..due to IUI. I dont think any children are not natural.

Brandy

 

Same here. :good:

 

natural... was a totally surprise because no history of twins in both families!!!!!

 

Spontaneous while on birth control with no family history on my side...shocker to say the least.

 

Mine were medically encouraged :laughing: We did IVF/ICSI after many years of no luck on a spontaneous pregnancy. We also had a failed FET after the twins.

We DO have twins on both sides of the family, so I can answer that honestly if people ask if they 'run in the family'.

 

Spontaneous here. The only girls in the group of 7.

 

Spontaneous ID boys...we are so lucky! I had been dreaming about having twins since I was little...we were shocked when it actually happened!

 

Spontaneous girls, conceived the first month we TTC.

 

IVF/ICSI here after years of fertility with 12 IUI's and 2 failed IVF's we conceived our son 3 years ago, then decided to try again for one more and on the first try with IVF/ICSI conceived our girls. We have twins on both sides of the family as well and feel truly blessed to be adding 2 more.

 

Ditto!
