in limbo land.

Well there's good news. And there's bad news. Good news first.

Twin B (the one with a hb last week) is measuring perfectly at 7w4d and has an excellent hb of 160bpm. And Twin A (the one that was just a sac last week) is now a little baby with a hb!

The bad news is that Twin A is still measuring a week behind. It was even pretty obvious on the screen, with Twin B being more than double the size of Twin A. Basically, Twin A looks exactly like Twin B did last week at this time.

So I'm not quite sure how I feel. On the one hand, I'm thrilled that Twin B is doing so great and that Twin A has grown from last week and now has a hb. But on the other hand, I feel like I should prepare myself for the worst in regards to Twin A. Doc was pretty much all doom and gloom about it, giving me odds of 20% that Twin A will make it. Plus, when you go through all this crap, especially IVF, you know the odds are against a fetus that is measuring a week behind where it should be. Sometimes knowing too much isn't a good thing.

Regardless, I'm going to try and remain hopeful until my next u/s, which is next Thursday. I've been reading a few stories online of other women that went through similar situations early in their pregnancies and went on to have perfectly healthy twins. Supposedly, twins just sometimes measure off from each other. I've also wondered if my tilted uterus is a factor and maybe that's why Twin A looks so different from Twin B. Maybe they just can't get the same angle on it that they can with Twin B. Maybe Twin A is further back in my uterus than Twin B. Who knows.

So I get to play the weekly waiting game again. What fun.
