word can not express how i feel right now. the love and support i have recieved through these terrible days has really touched my heart!
well, i fought my corner and refused to have surgery to remove my "baby" and thankfully, a scan today confirmed i was right to do so.
at 21dpo my hcg was 4296 and 40 hours later (this morning) it was 7627 which is really high for so early (they actually stated this early they would be surprised at 1500 which is what they needed before scanning me!)
well, they sent a speciallist from aberdeen to scan me today who is glad i didnt have the surgery because the sack on my ovary has reduced in the last 2 days and my numbers have jumped (they actually thought there was a mistake on first test!)
her conclusion is that there was 3 babies but 1 didnt make it and the other 2 are feeding off it. she states that both may not make it but there is defo 2 yolks in my uterus (in the same gestational sack)
i asked for a pic today as although it is hard to see, at least i have something to cling on hoping for.
 
i am on strict instuctions to rest and if i have any problems then to go back straight away but we all know i wouldnt put my life at risk anyway.
thank you all so very much for the thoughts and prayers. it was what kept me going (that and my daring sharron being on the end of the phone til silly hours at night.)

SARAH !!! I am so glad that you did not go through with the surgery. Sometimes I wonder if Doctors are give to easy.. It is us mothers that are strong and we will hold on to that last string of hope .and YOu did that . Twins I can not imagine
It is amazing what prayers and hope and Faith will do.
You take it easy and We all will be waiting to see a ultrasound with TWO little hearbeats beating away....
I just can not get over it I am so happy for you. WE never gave up hope on you and you do the same

thank you so much girls.
it IS amazing what hope, prayer and faith can do from yourself and others. ive never been a very spiritual person until my losses but i am so glad i started to believe again!
i am trying to concentrate on having one baby. if i get 2 then its a double blessing but if i think of it too much and it doesnt happen then i dont want to be distracted from the one i will have. kwim 
im so glad i never left this board. i know i have my "family" here who i can always rely on!

yeah i was confused at being told they were feeding off the baby that didnt make it too  apparently because babies share when feeding, if one doesnt make it then the healthy babies feed from what they dont. same woth some twins, one doesnt feed well and if it doesnt survive then the healthy baby will feed and the other can just disappear. really not a nice thought but i guess its survival instincts at core level

I've been thinking about you all day. I'm so happy that you refused the surgery. Wow! Twins! I'm going to continue to send you positive thoughts and energy for both babies.
