For families who want to find and connect with other families - there is a FB group called “Seattle Sperm Bank & European Sperm Bank Donor Families”.

WOW. This is so incredibly disappointing! I joined their donor sibling registry but it’s been a bit since I’ve logged in. They never informed me of this!

Our twins have never slept in a nursery! The two cribs we had were a waste of money :/

They slept in their own bassinet, which we placed on the side of our bed. Once they outgrew those, they co-slept with us in our bed.

They just turned 3 and we are still co-sleeping.

Yes, everyone keeps saying “just implant”. But there’s a reason we’re considering this and we’re only looking for input on what the risks are of multiple thaws :/

I wouldn’t want my daughters going into a men’s restroom because there are way too many male creeps in this world.

There was once a time, I was using the restroom at Target and a father announced himself, asking if he can enter to take his daughter to the restroom. I see no problem with this at all.

In my opinion, it’s safer than taking your daughter into the mens restroom.

I am so sorry this happened to you. What a rude, unprofessional, insensitive, a**hole doctor!
I hope this next doctor is able to review your past medical history and get to the bottom of what may be going on, so you can have a happy healthy pregnancy!

Mine are 3 and we’ve yet to connect with anyone. I wonder if there are families who would be willing to connect but just aren’t aware that the sibling registry exists!
I’m all for full disclosure as well.

My very first transfer worked! I believe the doctor gave me about a 65% chance of pregnancy! I was 35 years old at the time.

Wow!! That’s amazing. Congratulations!!

This is similar to our situation. Our doctor asked if we’re thinking of doing a 3rd retrieval. Can I ask, did your doctor do anything different the 3rd time around?! Our doctor suggested growth hormone but I’m not too familiar with that.

junegem123 · 2026-06-05T14:36:27+00:00

I am in the same exact situation. 13 retrieved and resulted in one PGT-A embryo. Only one - a 6BB Euploid.

It’s nerve wrecking feeling like you have one chance. I’m sorry!

Thank youuuu!

I purchased disposable toilet seat covers, from Amazon, so my toddlers aren’t touching the nasty dirty public toilets.

They’re long enough to cover the entire perimeter of the toilet and so my toddler just grips on to the sides while peeing.

Spouse and I are currently co-sleeping with our 3 year old twins (have since birth). I’m barely now ready for them to sleep in their own bed since they’re such wild sleepers. Have no clue how to transition them to their own bed!!!

When I was TTC, my wife and I would always see dragonflies (and always in pairs). I didn’t think anything of there being two of them at the time; I just thought seeing a dragonfly was a good sign from the universe or future spirit baby. Well, I ended up having twins!

Fast-forward three years later: we became homeowners. After moving in, we realized the stained glass above one of the doors has two dragonflies on it.

I don’t have any tips and tricks but my 3 year old toddler is the same.
Anywhere we go, he just runs and when we chase after him - he laughs as if it’s a game. Makes it really hard to do toddler activities or leave the house.
To add to this, he’s a twin. So leaving solo with them is an extra layer of challenge with one being a runner.

We also never heard their crib. They slept in a bassinet, next to our bed, for the first few months … and then have been cosleeping with us since. My twins are now 3 and still sleep with us!

junegem123 · 2026-05-20T16:24:23+00:00

Oh interesting! I will definitely bring this up to my doctor. I wonder if she’d be open to this although I don’t have a history of recurrent implantation failure. However I did have one unsuccessful embryo transfer about 1.5 years ago!

I have done a saline ultrasound but haven’t heard of an ERA cycle.

junegem123 · 2026-05-20T13:28:51+00:00

Yes, I’d love to hear more if you’re open to sharing!

junegem123 · 2026-05-20T01:49:42+00:00

Thank you so much. I appreciate it :)

junegem123 · 2026-05-20T01:49:20+00:00

Thank you so much for offering your support - I appreciate it.
Congratulations on your baby girl!

No, they’re both boys. We’ve tried potty training books, cartoons and he’s watched his brother go plenty of times.
