Did someone say multiples?! What?

Today was my last follow-up appointment before the "real deal" appointment. Dr. B had to check to see if my uterus had grown enough for the embryo transfer. I want to back the bus up and tell y'all that in the beginning of this journey we were told that my uterus was small, and Dr. B was worried about transferring one embryo not to even think about doing two. He said that he was worried even with taking the proper drugs he did not know if my uterus would grow. Well with all the months of taking HRT (hormone replacement therapy) my lovely little uterus has grown triple in size. Dr. B did the trial transfer test today, and was very surprised to see a large "normal size" healthy uterus. :) He looked up and said well...do you two want to try for twins? hahahahaha. Yep no joke. Ray and I looked at each other and said, SURE. :) So now we are cleared to transfer TWO not one but TWO embryos! Yeah! Our friends J&E said this is the way to go. That is what they did and now they have two beautiful baby boys. This does not mean twins will be the end result. It does mean that we have a much greater chance of ONE embryo working. However Dr. B did say it does increase the chances of having a multiple births. Ummm one baby GREAT, twins great great...more than two babies...not so great...kind of scary just thinking about it.
