    So the post asking what the chances are made me wonder if Im the only crazy one here. I want another set of twins...I think it would be so neat to have a set of twin boys next (dh is a twin, but his brother passed, so I think it would be awsome for him). Im exhausted and having issues lately, had a rotten pregnancy but I cant stop thinking about having another set of twins now. So am I crazy? Anyone else want twins again?

    Yes, I would love another set... I was actually hoping I was having another set... but I wasn't that lucky!

    We were fortunate to have our boys through IVF. We now have frozen embyros and when we decided to go through the process, we decided if we froze them, we would go back for them rather than trying on our own for more children. After these guys were born, we said there was no way we would have them put two eggs in again but now 9 months later, I could see wanting to do so. Of course no time in the near future! I say all of this with the understanding and thankfulness of knowing we were fortunate to have our boys through IVF and do not take the fact that we had twins for granted. I know we were truly blessed.

    I don't really want another set of twins, but if that's what we got I would be completely happy. We also did IVF to get our girls and have 6 frozen embryos left. We're doing a FET in September, and we haven't totally decided how many we're going to put back in. I guess it mostly depends on how they do when they're thawed out. I would prefer one, but if two look good we'll use them both. It makes me nervous to think about potentially having two 2 1/2 year old and two newborns!

    I would have been nervous to have another set, but me and DH said we would have to be OK with it in order to try and again and be prepared. I have never mothered a singleton and I am looking for ward to that too, so I would have been happy either way. My boys are so cute together, and it will be wierd having one and them not having a buddy!!! I just hope my boys are good with the baby so it doesnt feel left out. I almost want another boy, just so they all have similar things in common...

    But NO, your not crazy!!!!!!!

    Never, ever -- but you're not crazy! Everybody's different! :)

    I totally love my two kiddos, and they just happened to show up at the same time, which is great in some ways and hard in other ways. I'd never say I wish I only had one of them, but I would never want to do the twin pregnancy and first 6 months again.

    I would love another set. The next pregnancy will probably be my last. Another b/g set would be perfect!

    Thank goodness Im not nuts!

    I watch my son and always feel like hes left out whereas the girls always have their buddy there to play with them.

    My family would KILL us though, not that it matters, I already proved to them that I dont listen to anything they say (after Stephen they told us we were done, after Kaitlyn they said it again, so of course they just couldnt imagine us having more kids...but hey Im only 24 I still got time :))

    We were in the same exact situation as you guys. I do sometimes yearn for maybe a set of girls but, I know all that we have gone through to get our wee ones and we could not be happier. If this is all for us then I will be fine with it....it just the past month or so I have gotten that little inkling of "wouldn't it be fun to do this again?" I just do not know if at 36 going on 37 if I can put my body through all those shots and drug therapy again. Who knows?

    NO, I don't really want another set, but maybe I am still to stunned how much work it actually is, and how sleep deprived you can actually get. We were also lucky to get these through IVF, and we have 3 embryos left. We were planning to put in one at a time, (unless I change my mind when these are a year,)and we want to use all 3. We are planning to put the next one in next year spring.

    See, you may be asking this at the wrong time for me! <_< I love them to death and they really are pretty easy babies, but right now I would say no. I feel drained by the end of the day and don't know how I would handle another two. Also the fact that I would have to go through treatments weighs heavy on that decision. In few years, I may change my mind...but for now, I'm good! :p

    Nope!

    We are done and happy with that. Even if we weren't done I would not want twins again. While I love my twins to death and couldn't imagine my life without them, I just found them so much harder than my singleton!

    We've only had the twins and we aren't planning on any more. BUT if I did get pregnant again, I would definitely want twins! Now that I have two at once, I can't imagine it any other way!!

    Well, DH is fixed, but if we somehow conceived a second set of twins I would not be sad in the least! :D :lol:

    No way could I handle two sets of twins. I think it's wonderful that so many of you would want two sets though. If I knew I would only get pregnant with one, I might want to try for another, but right now I'm too afraid I'd get pregnant with twins again!

    I posted that question initially and I have to say that I don't think I could handle 2 sets of twins! I also have a 2yo daughter and IF we go for a 4th, it'd be within the next couple years. I can't imagine having 5 under 4! We don't have any family near us so it would be very difficult.

    I hope that I don't upset anyone who does but I absolutely would not want another set of twins. I love my guys but many times (well most of time really) I wish they had had the chance to be singletons and get my undivided attention. They just seem so starved for it because there is not enough to go around. I definitely could NOT handle two sets. My patience grows thinner by the year it seems. :(

    I did want twins with Wesley. If I have another pregnancy, now that I have one, I'd prefer only one more.

    I would love to have another set of twins.. our girls were completely spontaneous (no history on either side of the family), so I'm not sure where they came from (we don't know if they're identical or not). However, I'm pretty sure I've stopped ovulating on my own, so when we do decide to try for another baby, I may need some help if the issue doesn't resolve itself on its own. But I'll be happy with whatever we get as long as they're healthy... :)

    I would absolutly LOVE another set of twins! I just don't want the twin pregnancy again. It was 4 months of terrible "all day sickness" , followed by PTL with bedrest including a week of hospital bedrest followed again by pre- pre- eclampsia........after delivering the twins vaginally i hemoraghed and needed a blood transfusion. I was thoroughly exhausted by the time I had them. So, if I could be guarenteed that I would not have the same complications again than I'd do it in a heartbeat! I couldn't imagine going through all that again, but this time having twins to take care of on top of it.

    I have a friend who has 5 that are barely 3 and under- singleton boy, frat girls who are 1 and just had b/g in March...she seems to take it all in stride.

    Me too...until then it wouldn't be the end of the world but don't think I'll be wishing for it.

    I totally agree with JDmummy i dont want another set of twins. I love my 2 to bits but it has been hard with my epilepsy and everything. Dont get me wrong if it was twins again i would be happy but i would prefer a singleton. I always wanted 2 children 2 years apart but it didnt happen that way so hopefully in a couple of years we can try again and maybe it would just be 1 this time!! x

    I want another set so badly. I've had so much fun with these two I really want the chance to do it all over again. I reallly can't imagin having only one, I keep telling DH I only concieve twins so get ready. :) A set of boys would be really nice, but anything would be great, even two more girls. :)

    We did IVF, and if we transferred again, it would only be one. I feel blessed with my very petite frame to have carried them 35 weeks, and have them healthy, but I was also on preventative bedrest for about 3 months. I couldn't do that to Lilly and Owen at this point - they need their mommy! But if god has a sense of humor and wanted to give me spontaneous twins, I would certainly feel blessed!

    I definately don't want another set of twins. That would be very risky for not just the babies but for me too and I could never wish for that. My boys need their mama! The strain on our finances (i lost my job due to the lengthy complications with my multiple pregnancy) and marraige would just be more than we could handle, too.

    That said...we do want to foster-to-adopt at some point and we've agreed that if there are twins who need a family at that time, we would be happy to take them. It's not the twin issue that turns me off, it's just that I can't risk my family's well being for another twin pregnancy.

    Of course, if something happened and I somehow spontaneously conceived twins, then we'd have to just make the best of it!

    I'm in a little different boat since I did have another set, but once the shock wore off I was glad it was twins again. Would I want a third set? Strangly enough, I kinda do. Luckily for DH we're finished, so it doesn't matter ;)

    if we had even 1 more we'd have to get a bigger car, and I think a minivan is big enough. and right now I'm not feeling like I'm handeling twins so well, I'm always tired and that makes me moody. so right now I'd have to say no I don't want another set of twins. but we're done so I don't really want 1 more either. ask me again when they're 3 years old, maybe I'll change my mind? hehe

    I rather stick needles in my eyes !!!!!! I adore my babies, but there is no way I could survive the first 4 months of caring for twins again. Well maybe if I won the lotto and could afford 24/7 nanny ( plus a significantly bigger house) and if somehow I could drop the fear of allowing some one else to care for my kids... but since neither of those things are gonna happen.. I have to say "No way! " I don't think I could even handle a singleton, much less twins. To those of you who said yes, you must be more patient and energetic than me. Good for you!
