No, amnio isn't any fun at all. And, since I'm carying twins, even though they are identical, I'd have to have it done twice!! The want to draw fluid from each sac! Apparently, even though they came from the same fertilized egg, one of them could develop a chromosonal problem the other doesn't have because the cells don't always divide properly, which is what causes most genetic problems to begin with!

I can opt out of the tests, no one can force me to do them. I'm sure when I finally get settled with a dr, I'm going to have to defend my decision but thats ok. The amnio could give me peace of mind that everything is ok but I still don't want to risk the complications that go along with it. Besides, after the fertility treamtments, daily shots and daily blood draws, I've had enough of needles for a while! And the amnio needle is a BIg needle!

I'm sorry that you have to go through that but I will pray for a good outcome. I hope you have two identically beautiful and healthy babies!! I'm so jealous! I'm very happy for you. I was watching your posts a while back when you were trying to get pregnant and when you actually got pregnant I even got excited for you....not even knowing you.....but, then you said you were having IDENTICAL TWINS....I almost cried....That's such a blessing!!

Michele,
I was 36 years old when I had my youngest child. I refused all of the tests because I wasn't going to abort my child anyway; no matter what. But, everything turned out just fine and my son was born without any problems at all.
A friend of mine who I went to school with, also had a baby at that age. (Same time as me.) This woman had high blood pressure and it was a difficult pregnancy, but everything turned out perfect.
I know it's impossible not to worry, but try to stay positive.

Hi Ruchie. To answer your question, I have 3 children. Patrick was my last child and like I said, he was born when I was 36 years old. Honey, you should definitely have hope! Yes, ALWAYS have hope!

Awww! Thanks Terri *hugs*
I'm gonna be 27 this month. And I am stil not stable on my bipolar meds. First I have to get stable then I have lots of work to do on me re. the abuse I've been though befoe I will be emotionally ready to have kids. THEN we have to make sure I'll be ok going off meds and that there will be a plan in place cause you can't be on the meds while you're preg.
Thank you SO SO much for the hope *hugs* I will try..it's not always easy though...
How are things with you? Sending only good things your way...
Love you!
Ruch

Sweetie,
You just keep on trying. My goodness, you are such a STRONG young lady and I have no doubt whatsoever, that you will continue to grow and get even stronger. At 27, you still have plenty of time to take care of yourself and have babies when the time is right.
You're smart for making sure you're ready and getting yourself in tip top shape mentally and emotionally. I admire you so much. I read all your posts and I have a lot of respect for you as well as so many others on this board. So many of you have struggled so much, but yet you keep on trying and you don't give up.
I know it's not easy at all, but somehow, we all seem to make it.
You asked how I'm doing. Well, I'm doing very well. Thanks for asking.
Big hugs back to you,
Terri
