THanks for responding. No they are not identical, Thank God, also my other twin was completely tested anyway the Dr. wanted to be safe , so both girls were tested. I agree with both of you on the carrier thing. I think its like being alittle pregnant, impossible! The Dr. may have been trying to sugar coat because I was a mess when they were first born ( with 2 other kids and moving aweek after they were born) Anyway I will in my mind be cautious and consider her a carrier. Is ther anything I should know about? Did you see a Dr. yearly? My endo. said she doesnt have to be seen, but I could bring her in every couple of years to be checked. My ped. is aware of the situation. About the vagina, it is currently at its worst yet.I started the cream about 1wk. ago, I will take you advice once its open and apply the vaseline. Do you have to use it daily contiuously? Thankyou. Did you wife have a concern and get tested before you had children? Is that something that will be necessary for my daughter.? THanks Again, Liz ps My husband is 59 1/2 in height and thats not SO short. Iguess for your family it sounds like it is, but it could definately be worse!
