Pregnancy Info HOME

Lisa, while I am sad that you have been there and done that with your girls, you have a very good idea as to what I am describing. For me, I think there is soulsearching and there is informed decision making to go along with it. In my opinion, you are more informed than most. ID twins are the highest risk, but not the only ones, in my experience. You have clearly spent a lot of time in the NICU and know exactly what you are talking about. You know the risks, which puts you ahead of the curve, whatever your choice is. I have read a lot on these message boards about how much "fun" it will be and how "cute" they will be in a stroller with no real understanding of the true risks. I think there are women like you and then there women who honestly and truly do not understand the choice they are making. One girl commented that her husband doesn't even know she is taking the Clomid! While you don't really fit into this category, I have seen a lot of naive insanity papering this board on the topic. It's not something to be entered into lightly (obviously) and I really think that women who take this route unnecessarily need to spend some time in the NICU and get acquainted with the possibilities. I meant no offense (until I was myself attacked, then I definitely meant offense). I simply meant to stongly inform because there seems to be a lot of naivete running rampant on these boards.
