if i was an egg donor previously & only did one donation about four years ago. would that increase my chances of becoming pregnant with twins?

Question

I feel bad that my classmates are having to use surrogates or donor eggs when I got pregnant without trying at 42. What should I tell them?

Answer 1

Not likely: The hormones you took to be an egg donor aren't still present in your system and so your chance of conceiving twins should be the same as the general population.

Answer 2

No: Generally, no. Pregnancy does cause sleep related problems, most notably due to discomfort and/or anxiety, and this can increase problems with depression. After delivery, sleep deprivation can add to this. Good mental health includes personal time, exercise and nutrition and deficiencies in any one do increase your risk.

Answer 3

Not necessarily: I need to have more information what you mean. If you aren't able to sleep (insomnia or early morning wakening with difficulty falling back to sleep) that may be a sign that some depression is starting. However, many pregnant women may have difficulty getting comfortable especially as they get larger or have to awaken to use the bathroom. So i would advise you to discuss this with your ob-gyne.

Answer 4

No: Back sugery shouldn't elevate your blood pressure.

Answer 5

Unlikely: Previous back surgery should have no effect on blood pressure during pregnancy or any other time for that matter. It more likely related to pregnancy and should be discussed with the OB doctor.

Answer 6

No: There are many benign causes for spotting or bleeding early in pregnancy, and 30% of all women with normal pregnancy outcomes will actually have bleeding in the first trimester. Of course it is important to contact your physician if you are having bleeding with your pregnancy, but it does not mean the pregnancy will end in miscarriage.

Answer 7

No: It is very common to have some spotting in early pregnancy because little capillaries on the cervix frequently bust open spontaneously or with intercourse.

Answer 8

No: Women are born with all the eggs they will ever have in a lifetime, but men can regenerate sperm every 90 days.

Answer 9

Yes: Have you had sex in ethe last month? If so do a pregnancy test and find out good luck.
