Question

Oops we did it again. Should I be worried about twins?

Hi all. We have a 15mo and I just got my period back in January. I've had no period cramps since baby #1, who knew? On April 1 I had some weird cramping that I thought might be my period, except I wasn't getting period cramps anymore and I was supposed to be mid-cycle. So I figured maybe it was just ovulation making my uterus cramp (I know that's dumb).
So yesterday I was expecting my period and it was still a no-show so I went ahead and took a hpt not expecting anything. But not only was it BFP it was bold! I think this time with baby#1 I had a very faint positive.
So should I be worried about twins? I know increased hcg can come from multiples and we weren't even planning baby #2 let alone #2 and #3. Does anyone know if implantation cramping is worse with twins? I haven't even told DH yet because he's so busy with work right now I'm going to wait a few weeks until he's between jobs.

I'm not sure about whether implantation cramps are worse with twins, but I'll tell you that when I was pregnant with my (now 7 year old-boy/girl) twins home pregnancy test (first response) said positive, but a week or so later Dr. test said negative! I insisted on a blood test in which I got the results a few weeks later positive. I was probably about 3-4 weeks and the first symptom that I had was only a missed period. Only later did I have 8 weeks of "morning" sickness.

I did not have any implantation cramping with my twins nor any other signs I was pregnant. Twins do tend to make HCG levels higher but single pregnancies can have high HCG. Depends on so many factors. My HCG levels weren't crazy high, definitely not to make me think twins.
