Identical from the start?

    Last week I had di/di boys. Everything about them is the same so far. It is so sweet. We are curious to know if they are id or frat. I think id and even the ob and ped think it is a good possibility. Did your frats or id look alike from the start?
    Only way to know for sure is the DNA test. If you tried that was is accurate in your opinion and who did you use? I found one local place, but it was $400. Seemed a little steep just to know.

    Here is one of their pictures.
    awwww I am just so in love :):)

    You absolutely do not have to spend that much on a test. HERE is the company we used- it costs $100. I really liked the company and although I was sure they were ID di/di, nobody else was. So we did the test- I HAD to know.

    As to whether your babies are id- oh yeah they are. If strangers can't tell and you have trouble distinguishing, I think that's a pretty good guess.

    Due to positioning and about a pound size difference, I don't think mine looked super identical. I think they look more alike now, though.

    ETA: Could they be any cuter, BTW? Congrats!

    First let me say congrats and they are adorable. It reminds me of a year ago when we had our boys. And I totally think that they are Identical. When we had our boys DNA test done we went with DNA solutions. I think their website is www.dnasolutions.com. It cost us like 135.00 I think. I know it wasn't more than that. Let us know when you get your results. Oh and our twins ended up being identical too.

    So how did you find this company? Did you find them to be reliable? My husband just worries about sending money to a company and they just say yes they are identical or something when they just pocketed the money.

    Yeah we have trouble telling them apart! My bff made them ID bracelets to wear. I think today I would have been mixing them up without them. Sometimes they are easy to tell who is who and then boom you say wow who do I have here. LOL Even the small lil dent in the ear's are the same. I mean everything even their vitals (in and out of womb) and they cry in sync.
    I could not see your pics they were I guess set to private or friends of friends only.

    I wouldn't spend the money because those babies are ID :) My friend had fraternal boys and they were the same size, same eye color, same hair length and everything and you could still tell a difference. My girls are ID (mono/di) and they looked different at birth. Your little boys are super adorable :)

    Yep save your $$$ those boys are ID I'd bet my money on it! My ID didn't come close to looking as alike as yours do although they did have quite a weight difference. Where your boys the same weights? They are super adorable, congratulations!! BTW we went through Proactive genetics and I can't remember how much it cost.

    I agree with another person-the ears are id! However, I suppose I could have the wool pulled over my eyes as to the company. PM me your email & I'll show you what they sent us. I can't prove it, of course, but it looked legit to me.

    I think I fixed the link to the pics I put up earlier.

    We never spent money on a DNA test. My girls looked identical from the second they were both born. The hospital did a blood test and it came back identical.

    I agree they are identical. Eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. If they are all identical, odds are very high that they are id! :wub: Adorable!

    They have been the same on everything from day one of my pregnancy. Even down to the vitals stay the same. At birth Hudson was 6.5 / 18.25in and Brewer was 6.13 / 17 3/4 in. So very close. They are hard to tell apart so far, but Brewer is a tad bigger.

    The ears are my being the exact same with the same lil dent is my #1 reason I think identical.

    I'd say identical and absolutely cute!!! We used www.dnasolutions.com too for our di/di boys. It came back identical. I'm glad we did the test, but if we hadn't, it would have later been so obvious. I totally do not believe the company scammed us.
