Hi - just wanted to see if anyone else is due with monoamniotic twins. Of course I went to evil Dr Google and now worried beyond belief. I am only 12 weeks and had an ultrasound today and everything looked good but my first Dr appt is not until next week.
Hoping there are a lot of successful pregnancies and if anyone can tell me what to expect that would be great. Ty!!

The success rates these days are between 75-80....depending on where you live you could be expected to go in the hospital around 24 weeks for continuous monitoring and will deliver at either 32 or 34 weeks by C-section. It is too dangerous to have a vaginal delivery because of cord compression.....There are a few facebook groups that are a wealth of information that one can benefit from. Good luck and stay away from Dr. Google....I did that too and freaked myself out!! All of the best!
Also too sometimes they are able to find a membrane which would then consist of the pregnancy being mo-di....

Although I wasn't pregnant with monoamniotic twins, I spent some time in the hospital for pregnancy complications and I shared my room with a woman who was having monoamniotic twins. She spent 9 weeks in the hospital and they monitored her and the babies closely each day. In the end, everything worked out well and she had 2 healthy babies via c-section at 33 weeks. They spent some time in the NICU as is completely typical for a preemie (just like my 33 weeker) but we keep in contact and both babies are perfect!
I know it is so hard, but try not to google and worry yourself. I wish you the best for your pregnancy.
Me: 40 = High FSH (ranges from 8 - 15), Low AMH (2.7), Low AFC = DOR
DH: 43 = borderline sperm analysis
Started TTC#1 January 2010
2011 - 2012 - First fertility clinic, lots of testing, operative hysteroscopy to remove polyps, multiple unsuccessful IUIs, 1 IVF (150 Menopur/150 Gonal F) converted to IUI due to poor response
2012 - got second opinion and after AMH results came back, advised at 36 I had a less than 5% chance of conceiving via IVF. Donor eggs strongly recommended but not yet ready for that (I should say - hubby not ready for that. I was ready for donor eggs - I just wanted to be a Mom). Decided clinic wasn't for us and back to clinic #1
2013 - IVF #1 (after 1st converted to IUI). Estrogen Priming protocol - start Climara patch 7 days post ovulation and change every other day. 3 orgalutran injections beginning day after first Climara patch applied. Start stims day 2 triggered on night 15 of stims = 3 eggs retrieved, 0 fertilized via ICSI = no transfer (300 Gonal F/150 Menopur & Orgalutran)
2013 - Switch clinics
Office hysteroscopy = all clear
IVF #2 (37 years old) June 2013 - Estrace priming protocol. 4 mg estrace started 7 days post ovulation. Start stims Day 3 (300 Gonal F/150 Menopur & Orgalutran)
Slow response as usual
Triggered on night 12 of stims (given the option to cancel as it looked like we'd get 3 eggs - knew we wouldn't do any better so continued).
ER: 6 eggs, but advised some were small and would be immature
Fert report: 5 of 6 eggs immature. 2 fertilized via ICSI (including one of the immature eggs)
ET: Transferred our only 2 embryos - a 5 cell and an 8 cell
11dp3dt = BFP - HCG = 65
16dp3dt = HCG 1,305 (cautiously pregnant)
7 week ultrasound = 1 baby HB = 141
12 weeks ultrasound NT scan = NT = 1.7mm all looks good. Combined with blood work risk is 1/1,400
Got Harmony blood test results back (done for peace of mind) - all clear and we're having a GIRL!
EDD = March 2014 (cautiously looking forward to that date)
However - baby had plans to arrive early. After PPROM and managing to cook the little one a bit longer, our bundle of joy arrived at 33 weeks. After a 3 week NICU stay, she is finally home. We are totally in love and forever thankful for our little miracle baby - Ashley Nicole.

Anyone else with mono Twins.
This week has been a roller coaster for us.
we are 20 weeks and didn't know we were having twins, (Some how 4 Doctors at the Maternity client didnt notice, with 3 ultrasounds, and Heart Rate monitoring) So we find out we are having Identical Twins, (Because we only had 1 embryo transferred) then get referred to a specialist. only to have doom and gloom put in us, about all the issues, cord compression, cord entanglement etc. anyone gone through this lately.
Thanks
4 - IUI's in 2015 BFN's 
IVF - March 2016
Fresh Transfer March 26th
2 Emberyo's frozen March 26th
Beta at 1 April 8th BPN.
FET May 4th 2016 (Starwars Day)
First Blood Work May 16 BFP Beta at 512 
Second Blood work May 18 Beta at 922 (I think we can accept that this is real now)
Good ultrasounds, everything looks good
Fast forward to August 30th and we find out we are now having twins, (And we are at 20 weeks)
Sept 2 - See specialist, and get Doom and gloom put on us, Chances of loosing them are high, etc.etc.
