Miscarriage before twins?

Just curious as to how many women m/c before they got preggo with twins. It seems a large amount did.

 

WOW...out of 6 votes thus far, 5 did. I did in March 2005 and found out I was pregnant with the girls by June 2005. I will be very interested to see these results.

 

I miscarried in January and got pregnant with C&A in February. I've read that it is more common to get pregnant with twins after a miscarriage. I guess we should also ask if the twins are fraternal, b/c it's only with fraternal twins that the chance increases...

 

I maiscarried the end of July and got pg with boys in Sept

 

No from me. My twins were my first pregnancy!

 

I miscarried before all of my children except Carly. So I have had 4 miscarriages. The miscarriage I had before my twins was Nov 2005, and I got pg with my twins in Nov of 2006.

 

I lost my angel in May 2005 and got preg with A&L in December 2005... .the woman that taught next door to me when I got preg with the twins also miscarried before her twins.... (when I told her I was having twins she rubbed my belly and said "Aw, I gave you twin cooties!"- sorry just a sidenote and completely off topic...)

 

Nope, no miscarriages here. I have had 2 pregnancies which resulted in 3 children.

 

I didn't before the twins, but I had a late miscarriage (14 plus weeks) before my daughter. Only a few months between the miscarriage and the beginnig of the pregnancy. I was desperate to get pregnant again because I could then focus on something and not be so sad.
Also completely off topic, this is my 100th post!

I miscarried twins before my twins. I also miscarried once before my first son.

 

I did not have a miscarriage before my (id) twin pregnancy. But, my cousin did miscarry and then became pregnant with faternal twins about 4-5 months later.

 

I didn't miscarry before the twins but I did before I got pregnant with Caitlyn. I had a miscarriage in February 1999 and got pregnant with Caitlyn in August 1999.

 

Well...I've got to find out whether my girls are frats or id's for sure now, to test this theory.

 

I am not going to answer the poll because I used intervention to get pregnant, so it would skew the data. BUT! I didn't miscarry before my b/g twins

 

I had an early miscarriage in April of 2005 and got pregnant w/my girls in October 2005.

 

I m/c a singleton in Nov of 03 and conceived the boys in feb 04. I lost two babies during my pregnancy with the boys and then one more pregnancy early this year.

 

I miscarried in May 2000 (that was a Clomid pregnany) Had my DD in Nov. 2002 (IVF) Had another miscarriage in Oct 2004 (IVF) and had my twin boys Oct 2005(IVF)










DD 11-06-02
faternal twin boys 10-02-05

Same here.

 

i miscarried in june of 2006 and got pregnant with the twins in december 2006

 

woops. I meant to post that I had a m/c in Nov 2004, and got pg with my twins in Nov 2005. brain cramp. :blush:

 

Fortunately no m/c. First pregnancy was a singleton second was my twins.

I have a friend and her first pregnancy she m/c with twins. Then had three singletons. No more m/c.

 

I did NOT miscarry before my twins

 

I had a m/c in April 04 and got pg with E&E in Aug 04. I have also wandered about this.

 

I did miscarry three times. My first pregnancy I m/c twins at the end of 04'. My second and third pregnancies were both m/c in 05'. I got pregnant a fourth time with my second set of twins in April 06' and had them in Dec 06'. (they are fraternal, but they look identical-- )

 

I didnt miscarry, but I did deliver my daughter (she died right before birth) by c-section 4 months prior to concieving my twins

 

I m/c in June and got pregnant with my girls in August.

I did the same thing with my cousin who had twins a year before my girls!

 

I put yes because I did m/c before the twins, but that was back in 1992.

 

I had a late missed miscarriage at 17 weeks and had to deliver my son back in March 2005 and then fell pregnant with the twins 5 months later.

 

I had a miscarriage in 97 and again in 99 then pregnant with twins in 2002.

 

I m/c'd twice (once in July 2004 and again in November 2004) before getting pregnant with my twins in April 2005 and they are identical in case that helps with any theories.

It's surprising to me that it's almost a 50/50 split. All the research articles I've read suggest that up to 1/3 of pregnancies are miscarried so we are at a higher rate than the average. I think the next questions should be what was the average time between miscarriage and twin pregnancy, was maternal age a factor, and what type of chorionicity is more common (frats vs IDs)... It would make for an interesting study. The science dork in me is peaking out.

I miscarried at 9.5 weeks in July 2005 and became pregnant with the boys in November 2005. We suspect that they are identical, but haven't done testing to prove it.

 

I have had 10 mc's most on fertility drugs so mine might skew the answer too....right before the twins were conceived I had conceived spontaneous triplets and lost them and never got af again but started the fert drugs 8 weeks later and got pg with the babies!~

 

The girls were my fist pregnancy, but last month I got a positive at home pregnancy test, set up an appointment for Dr's that week, then started bleeding. Dr sent me to ultrasound the next day, when they looked there was a sac but nothing else. Dr said this happens frequently where there is no fetus but the sac grows for a few weeks and then your body gets rid of it??? I don't know if this is a bunch of hoowie or not??? But can tell you I was only like 4-8 weeks along. Don't know what this says about your theory but seems like people who have twins are just more prone to m/c????
Ps. We never had any help conciving

I miscarried before my twin girls. But I also miscarried before my singleton son too.

 

Yes, I m/c'd in Oct of 04 at 9 weeks...I was told it was twins, one outside of uterus one inside which never developed, not really sure of specifics my mom was with me and I vaguely remember because I was obviously distressed she confirmed what I thought I had heard from the doc in ER when I got pregnant with my boys in March '05. No fertility drugs and mine are di/di (frat) but look very similar their doc even asked if they were ID.
