Possible to be Showing Already?

[acissej44]

Ok so it might sound crazy but is it possible to be showing already?

I found out on the fourth and was already gaining weight before that i thought it was period bloating
i took a test on the fourth  positive
fifth positive
and sixth, which was the first day of my missed period  positive

the first day of my last period was August 6th

How far along am i exactly?

My boyfriend is supposed to be "the next in line for twins" in his family  

is it possible to so this early? am i having twins!?

I started showing at 8 weeks, I was 120 lbs and very very skinny...my twins are now one month old.  Also, it is the woman's FSH levels, higher levels lead to higher chance of two mature eggs ovulating. Not the man's sperm...an ultrasound will tell youfor sure.

I am having twins, we did use IVF. I had my blast transfer on 29 July with one inserted. My last period was 13 July and I tested with a home test on 4th August and it was positive.  I was told if you are having twins it does show up on home tests earlier, but I would'nt use it as a positive twin indicator until an ultrasound. As far as showing already, I was huge from day dot but it was side effects from fertility meds...My belly or "uterus" is starting to show now and I am 9 weeks.

they'll most likely do a cervical exam, get you scheduled for blood work and get a urine sample and schedule you for an u/s.

thanks for the help..

my first app. is tomorrow.
what happens?

i did show at 6 weeks. (i only weighed 125-130 lbs and had an uber flat tummy)....as my uterus stretched and expanded my tummy just grew.

and no there are no different symptoms. in fact i had an easier pregnancy than my friend who had 1 baby. my 1st trimester sucked worse though but i had the flu. the only difference between a multiples pregnancy and a singleton pregnancy is that your tummy gets bigger and instead of squeezing out one baby you squeeze out 2 or more.

and multiple pregnancies are more likely to be premature than a singleton. (my guys were 6 weeks early but in just about perfect health. they were over 5 lbs but had a bit of jaundice).

but like i said before the ONLY way you're going to know how far along you are and how many babies are in there is to have an u/s done. i had an u/s done at 9 wks (i was taken to the er for back pains and fainting spells) and we were able to see both heartbeats.

even with maltibals i dont think you would be showing yet 8 weeks the fetus is the size of well a sesamee seed unless your having 5 or something as for gainging waight you are probably just eating more witch you should not think you are eating for 2 cuz then you might get in troble after just up your calorie intake. and heatherlynn22 took my words lol men have nothing to do with it my boyfriend thinks the twins im caring are from his side there faternal  for god sake my body released to eggs lol.. anyway my symtoms for my twins were extream morning sickness,super tired basically the normal symtoms just double lol well good luck and lut us know what you find out ***Angie***

is there any different symptoms for multiples?

[heatherlynn22]

nobody can tell you how far along you are or if you're having multiples. you're going to have to get an u/s done for that.

and the father has NOTHING to do with if it is multiples or not. that is completely dependent on the woman. (twins occur when the womans fertilized egg splits or she releases more than one....sperm have absolutely nothing to do with that...aside from fertilizing the egg(s) ) so if you have multiples in your family you have a higher chance of having them then if you didn't or if you were taking fertility medication increases chance of twins, age (if you're over 35).
