are identical twins and a singlet in the womb at once possible?
Can anyone tell me if a pregnancy can consist of identical twins and a
singlet all in the womb at the same time (a total of three infants)? Thanks, N |

Thanks, N Very possible to have triplets with a fraternal and 2 identical babies. You can also have more fraternal siblings in utero and have an identical pair in there. (a recent news article was on quintuplets - IVF transferred 4 embryos and one split into two.) Cindy Wells (who knew a set of triplets in her high school - they were identical girls + a fraternal sister. The story, though, claimed they were quads, 2 sets of identical girls and one didn't survive.) |

My doctor thinks I might be carrying a set of identicals and a fraternal in
my triplet package. He was watching eggs develop, and only 2 should have produced anything. I guess we will find out in about 8 weeks. Gayle "N" wrote in message nk.net...

Yes, the technical term for this is "triplets". (Sorry, I couldn't resist!)
I used to work with a woman who was part of this kind of triplet set (2ID+1FRAT) Claudia Can anyone tell me if a pregnancy can consist of identical twins and a singlet all in the womb at the same time (a total of three infants)? Thanks, N |

I guess we will find out in about 8 weeks. Yes, it's possible. Are these IVF babies, by any chance? There seems to be some evidence for an increase in monozygotic twinning after some types of assisted reproduction. Nick -- Nick Theodorakis |

For me it was IUF. Pretty much just my ovaries were being stimulated.

I'd like to thank every one of you who replied, as I'm finishing a fictional
story about twin brothers, and part of my premise is that a third sibling, lost in the first trimester, would have been a singlet. I want to be correct in my science. Again, thank you all so much, what a kind newsgroup this is, unlike the ADD (attention deficit disorder) one I visit now and then, only to get frustrated after three or four replies into a thread, when everyone turns nasty. I feel privileged. Thank you, N "momofamultitude" wrote in message . .. I have a pair and a spare. 2 identical and 1 fraternal girls.

And thank you for that poetic use of the language, "a pair and a spare." How
fascinating that must be, to have two identical girls, and one fraternal. How old are they now if you don't mind me asking? Thank you, N "momofamultitude" wrote in message . ..
