Speaking of a Kodiak moment!

Evil side of me would have loved to have seen his face

Had a repeat scan today, they saw evidence of MAYBE 1 sac, with a possible 2-3 more in there, they aren't sure. She wouldn't be at all surprised if it's "at least twins" - she couldn't say they WERE sacs, just that it's possible what we saw were sacs in there.

Dr's gonna give me a copy of pictures after our apt, I go in 30 minutes for the follow-up.
I'll know more for sure by june 30th, but I have another scan the 27th on tuesday with a follow up friday to check for heartbeat(s)

Well results from the exam are in. Failed by THREE points. I'm going to wait until course schedules and signups begin again in August and if they end at a reasonable time (NOT when I'm due) I'll retake it right away.

I'm sorry about the exam... glad you can retake it.

Kajira,
That is a difficult subject [selective reduction] when you have obviously worked so hard to get this far. I sincerely hope it goes smoothly & you don't have to make that decision.

I missed the last 200+ messages. I haven't kept up during my crazy work schedule. I think this thread is the most active one I've seen since the conversion!

I do have a question on my LF Cochins that hatched a couple days ago. Of the dozen eggs, there were only 4 that developed. They all hatched beautifully.--- There was one that struggled a tad. It had been the first to pip externally (very high on the large end) on day 20 but after the other 3 were out, it still hadn't progressed-- malpositioned. I assisted with some of the zipping and a little coconut oil, popped her back into the bator and she was out by morning, with the rest.

I don't see a Cochin thread. Could y'all give me some input on color?

I'm thinking blue splash & blue. But is that pattern gold Laced ?

Right now, it looks like twins, maybe triplets at the most (crossing fingers) if there's only 2-3 we won't even be discussing it as an option

Beautiful chicks.

Thank you.
I was thinking it had to be multiples with your HCG. Twins would be awesome! lol easy for me to say

I've had twins before, at 24w1d. One died at 3 weeks old. I couldn't convince my doctor to give me progesterone, (even though I had an angry uterus and needed it with my singletons.) because it was "contraindicated in multiple pregnancy"


Don't really care what *studies* show - my body needs it, so i'll be fighting tooth and nail to get progesterone support this pregnancy.
