    do your fraternal twins that are the same sex look somewhat alike or
    really different?? I am thinking that my girls are fraternal (IVF) and I
    can't wait to see what they look like!!!

    My fraternal boys do not look a thing alike. They don't even look like they are from the same family. I've had several (rude) people ask if there were two different fathers!

    We did IVF also and have fraternal girls. They look nothing alike and have *very* different personalities (and sleeping habits LOL!). They are also different sizes now, Erin is 3" taller and 2 lbs. heavier than Annie (7 months old).

    Here's a couple recent pictures:

    You can't tell in the pictures but Erin has blue eyes (mine) and Annie has brown eyes (dh's).

    Congrats and good luck next week!

    Mine do not look alike, except for their side profiles while sleeping are very similar. They do look like sisters, but not alike.

    One has blue eyes and her hair is really lightening up, and the other has dark brown eyes and dark hair. They both have curls, but Lily has more hair and more curls.

    Our girls don't even look related! One has olive skin with a long head, while the other is very pale with a very round head (and very chubby cheaks!) Plus, the act as different as they look!

    Our boys look very alike - I'm the only one who never mixes them up. Even their dad & grandma get confused...

    There's a photo of them at our website: www.morrisweb.ca

    My IVF fraternal boys do not really look that much a like. People can tell that they are brothers but one of my guys is "thicker" than the other and he has chubby cheeks. I also get the "are they twins?" question when we are out.

    Most people can not tell our girls apart unless they are around them a lot. We think they are fraternal but do not know for sure. We can tell them apart easily as long as they are together. If they are separate then I have to really look and judge them based on their personality. Their personalities are as different as night and day.

    Ours look completely different. Ronan is olive skinned, longer head, slighter build, delicate features. Declan is built like a linebacker, pale skin, round head. Also very different personalities!

    Totally different here! Claire is chubby & round; Susie has hair [​IMG] & is long & lean. The only similarity they share(d) was a womb!
    Good luck on your twin delivery!

    My fraternal girls look so different it's almost freaky, and they have totally different temperments and personalities (from what we can tell at 10 weeks). One has brown hair and olive skin and is very petite. The other is chubby, with blond/red hair and pale skin. Right now both have light blue eyes, but that can change. Their features are very different, nothing, no their nose, chin, eye shape, mouth, ears, fingers, not ANYTHING looks the same.

    My fraternal girls look very different from each other. Josie has darker hair, much chubbier cheeks, and a very small little bow mouth. Bella's hair is almost white, she's much thinner (2 lbs lighter than Josie) and has a thin wide mouth. The color of their eyes is exactly the same, but the placement of their eyes in relation to the rest of their face is very different.

    Here's a recent picture. Josie's on the left and Bella's on the right.
