miscarriage of one twin in early pregnancy

Happy Mommy- it is not uncommon for one twin to pass away in the womb in early pregnancy and is often termed Vanishing Twin Syndrome. When that happens you can bleed but the baby's body is absorbed back into your body at this young age. If you were further along, close to term, you'd more than likely deliver early to prevent anything from happening to the other twin as your body cannot absorb the deceased baby. It's no comfort to hear any of this, I know. I'm so very sorry!

I am in my early stages of pregnancy with a single baby. I have a set of twin boy girl who are 5yrs 2mnths and I had the easiest pregnancy. My progesterone levels tested at 19 two weeks ago but when I tested again a week later it was 15. They doctor has told me I will most likely have a miscarriage because of this? Anyone gone through something similar? I am so sad at the thought of losing this baby. Should I start progesterone gel injections? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Maybe its my age but im scared i may be xarrying twins. My husband is a twin his dad is a twin his dad has two sets of twin siblings and his mom has a set of twin siblings. Not that i wouldnt mind but with one baby i was absolutely huge. Just a lil freaked out is all. First ultrasound on the 27th.

t really gained much weight maybe 5pds any one else pregnant with twins or had a twin pregnancy already? What was it like and did you deliver vaginally or csection?

Has anyone had flucuating hcg levels in their first 4 weeks of pregnancy? And had didn't end up miscarrying?

I had 2 miscarriages last year (one at 5 weeks the other at 10 weeks...no one even knew I was pregnant) with this pregnancy now I was showing a little bit earlier than normal, I wasn't huge, but had a little bump early on. I just think it has to do with being pregnant before.

m about 12 wks disappearing twin risk is gone and now its just staying healthy and hoping there isnt a miscarriage with one or both. Babies were already fighting and kicking eachother. Sibling rivalry starts early I suppose. I'm waiting to see if my employer will work with my new restrictions or if they will put me on LOA. Either way is fine. Well thanks again. Your boys are really adorable by the way. Are they identical or fraternal?

has anyone heard of/known of one twin dying in early pregnancy and the other surviving?

t even imagine how horrible that is, but know that only God knows why these things happen, and the purpose of it in ur life, take care of urself and dont be sad instead , try to smile because u still have ur other baby who need his/her mommy happy, :)my best wishes for you and ur baby ..

Well i no that after a m/c, a hpt can be positive for as long as you have a level of 25(of the hcg hormone) in your body. It took a little over 4 weeks after my m/c for my levels to go to 5. After a m/c your hormones are all over the place and can still make you think you are preggo. Now as far as having a complete m/c and still having flutters i cant answer that one, i was 10 weeks and didnt feel any movement at that time. I no women who had twins and one died but disengrated within the body.

A scan was taken when i was 57 days and the doctor said its a twin pregancy(early) and also said only one baby has heart beat and other doesnt...But he asked me to wait some more days to check on the other baby. My mensural cycle is every 33 days. How far is the possiblity of the second baby getting heart beat. Kindly help me. Thanks in Advance.

2 weeks into my pregnancy ultrasound was done.Report- Twins gestation sac has formed inside womb, one of the sacs was empty while other sac is carrying baby but there was no sign of heart bit of baby to indicate presence of life in the baby.the baby seems to have developed upto 9.3 week(doctor's view). Automatic miscarriage did not take place. D&C(abortion) was carried out in a hospital. Subsequently we visited doctor regularly before we plan for conceiving again.

I agree with you except that one twin does not absorb the other in vanishing twin. (One twin simply fades, and in the end, the mom's body absorbs it.

I am a mother or twin girls also my first children. A lot of nausea, soreness and much more excitement is to come. I never had spotting or cramping and went full term which is hardly common with twins. i did limit myself to much needed bed rest through out my 6th month due to i also had a m/c before them and everythinjhhg was fine they are healthy and now 3 yrs old. You will be fine just follow all your doctors oders and dont worry and stress. good luck..

i was having twins in the begining of this pregnancy and ended up m/c one of them they were not in the same sac so i am not sure

Im concerned because i have had several children and never had this to occur. Is it possible there is a twin and is it too early to detect heartbeat?

Pregnant w fraternal twins. One twin is 9wks 4days old with heartbeat, yolk sac, and gestational sac; while the other has no cardiac activity and yolk sac, but has a gestational sac at 7wks 4days old? Could the twin w/out heartbeat be developing slow or is it in fact no viable?

Furthermore, low progesterone levels increase the risk of miscarriage in early pregnancy. Experts, therefore, recommend that in these cases progesterone should be given to support the pregnancy.

Can anyone shed any light on my dilemma pls? I am/ was just 6/7 weeks pregnant. Had early bleeding last week as I did when I was pregnant with my healthy daughter (so seemed normal this time round). Scan showed that fetus was ok but no heartbeat yet so to return in 2 weeks. Days later I have heavy bleeding, cramping & lots of large blood clots. Gyno said I was having a miscarriage & by saturday morning we were convinced that all had gone.

My question is I had a miscarriage last week and yesturday I took a pregnancy test and do you think I took to fast it said negative do you think I took it to fast?

ve had my blood work drawn close to every 2-3 days for last 2 weeks keeps decreasing but yet baby in ultrasound appears to have grown I have all symptoms of miscarriage was wondering about possible disappearing twin syndrome? I know levels aren't supposed to drop but in certain circumstances they can has anyone experienced this vanishing twin syndrome?

I have had one still birth then a successful pregnancy then a miscarriage then i was pregnant with twins miscarried one twin and the second was ectopic now pregnant again and everything is going well this time.

it was about 5cm,very brown in color (similar to that of old piece of chewed meat) it had what looked like sinew on it aswell.it wasnt sore when i passed it, and i havent bled or had any cramping. i was wondering if perhaps it could have been from an old menstral cycle, or old gestational sac or an old piece of uterus or something... im worried that perhaps it could mean that i am about to have a miscarriage. please could anyone tel me if theyve had similar expiriences,should i be worried??

Hi dear . congratulations on your twin pregnancy*** having twins is so special!! My identical twin girls will be 8 months on the 27th, if you have questions feel free to ask.

I was so afraid of having my twins early because my mom had me and my twin sister at 32 weeks. My aunt had her twins at 28 weeks. And anyone else i knew had theres early. But im currently 36weeks and 2days with twins (: and have a scheduled c-section for September 30th.

s confirmed last Monday I was in fact pregnant, and today I had follow up blood work to see if my levels are increasing as they should. Since I did experience one chemical pregnancy / miscarriage, I am sweating it out today waiting for the call to see if my levels are rising or what is going on. To any one that has had miscarriages before - maybe you know this feeling? No signs of trouble yet - and symptoms continue (breasts sore off and on, tired, slight headaches, low back pain).

What do you mean one twin does well? they say with twins one twin always weigh more than the other but im just scared...
