Our original intention was for my partner to carry one child and me the other with around a 2 year age gap. What actually happened was she had 6 failed treatments over 18 months (an abandoned IUI, 2 negative IUIs, IVF which resulted in an early miscarriage, a negative FET and an abandoned IVF) so on our next IVF we chose to have 2 blastocyst embryos transferred (at this point I think we’d have had 16 transferred if it meant we could have a baby). This resulted in our wonderful twin boys, both born naturally at full term for twins – For the purposes of this wiki I will call them ‘The Biter’ and ‘Saurus’. --[[User:Lylet|Lylet]] ([[User talk:Lylet|talk]]) [[File:Lylet.jpg|64px|link=User:Lylet|Lylet]] 1 May 2013
As it had taken such a long time to have our boys – 2 and a half years including the pregnancy – We decided to go back to the clinic when the boys were 9 months. We really didn’t want too much of an age gap, we thought if we left it too long the boys might be too much of a handful and we might not bother, so best to try again before we realised we are lunatics. I was incredibly lucky to conceive on our first IVF attempt using the same donor sperm and our baby daughter was born (I’ll call her Vosene), 19 months after our boys were. I would say our family is now complete – however we do have four vials of sibling sperm on ice burning a hole in our pockets.
Life with 3 under 2s is very busy – particularly when some days it means I have changed 6 nappies before 9a.m. – but it is worth it. Our children are so funny and make life entertaining to say the least. They may well be picked on when they are bigger but we see it as our job to give them the tools to deal with it.
