My last appointment was very exciting because I got to hear BOTH heartbeats. The first heartbeat she found was in the 150s. The second heartbeat was in the 160s. My OB said I was 13 weeks and 2 days but I thought I wasn't even 13 weeks. She said that our fertility center faxed her more records and based on my last ultrasound at 8 weeks my due date had changed to March 14th. I measured 5 days ahead at that ultrasound so maybe that's why they changed it, but only by 2 days? Oh well! At least we know our twins are due in March.
I'm feeling great these days! It's wild how the morning sickness and the exhaustion just disappeared after 12 weeks. Some days I do not even feel pregnant, and I'm like "Aren't I supposed to be exhausted? I'm pregnant with twins!" I'm enjoying these days because I'm sure at some point in the near future I will feel pregnant with twins 24/7. My doctor reminded at my last appointment that I do not have any restrictions just because I'm pregnant with twins. I'm assuming that could change in the future though.
I do have one complaint: sleep! I'm waking A LOT throughout the night to go the bathroom or just turn. I've have a bump and I'm reminded of it at night because I'm constantly turning from side to side to get comfortable.
My next appointment is 4 weeks away, well, October 3rd! We will find out the sexes at the end of October. And then I will not go back for another month. Appointments will pick up after 24 weeks and I'll start going twice a month, and I'll have an ultrasound once a month. Yay!

Looking good!
I don't think they should change your EDD based on the U/S. It's one thing to change the original EDD based on LMP for a patient having a first trimester U/S for dating. To me, it's a whole other ballgame when it's a FET and you KNOW with certainty when conception took place and that you were 5dpo when they were transferred. Your babies are just growing well and a little ahead of the curve.
Not that it all really matters anyhow, since they'll likely arrive by 36-38 weeks...
I'm so glad you posted an update! I'm a longtime follower - since before you were pregnant with your little girlie. I've been wondering how you were!
Great news!! You look wonderful. Enjoy the 2nd tri energy boost. :)
You look great! I agree that since you know the exact date of fertilization, the due date shouldn't be changed. Early on my two were measuring ahead based off of the u/s, and my date was never changed. I think you should post some belly shot photos comparing Stella's PG and now at the same point!
PS there is an award for you over on my blog. :)
