So, after 4 years my DDs have finally had the swab done for their zygosity test as part of a study they are involved in. My question to you is WDYT the results will be - ID or frat?



Not a great photo, but it's the only one with their faces together (and looking at the camera at the same time LOL).

Fraternal, I think. Ooh this excites me! WHen will you find out?

I vote ID!

Oh how exciting Can't wait to find out. I think that your beautiful girls look id to me.

Jo

My vote is for ID! How exciting! How long do you (we!!) have to wait?

They certainly look very very similar in the photo. Presumably their hair's the same ie. same colour and texture, and one's not for example curly whilst the other's straight? (hard to tell from the photo as they have wet hair).

Definitely ID

Jo

I think ID too.

Hi Nicolie

I guess they are ID...

I can't tell much the difference between your girls.
In the first glance, the girl on our left seems to have 'longer' face and more distance between the eyebrows and the eyes. However, I think it's only the angle of the photo.

My boys are said to be fraternal (yet to be confirmed) and they have pretty distinctive difference like one's eyes is rounder than the twin's, one's face is rounder than the twin's.

When are you going to get the result?

Hi Niolie

We play this game in our house too In a strange way it will be weird once the zygosity results come back (we were told about 12 weeks - is that what you thought?)

Anyhow - my vote for your two gorgeous girls is ID

Don't forget to let us know!

Marnie

ID's can look different and fraternal can look very similar (apparently Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen are fraternal but I can't tell them apart )

I went to school with ID twins who looked different - it was easy to tell them apart. One was smaller and finer than the other and had a slightly tip tilted nose. They were definitely ID though as they had blood transfer issues from having the one placenta (they explained it to me once, I wasn't really listening )

Anyway, so considering this is just a guess, I'll say fraternal simply because most people are saying ID

Definitely identical!

Hi Nicolie,

I vote ID too!

Ours are ID - we finally gave in and did the test too. We find it funny as we think that they look so different, you forget that people can't tell them apart!

As I have told you before, and like you need reminding - your girls are so gorgeous!!

Cheers

LOL this is fun! I truly have no idea myself - my opinion changes frequently. (They do have the same hair BTW)

Not sure when we get the results back. Because it's part of a study, they send the swabs in batches so it could be months.

Donna, you can barge in any time you like. You are an honorary member of the MoM (Mums of Multiples) Club anyway!

Gonna say Identical as well.

Another vote for ID here. They're georgous girls!

Somehow I missed your sig when I posted before so I can see now that their hair is the same! I'm leaning towards ID as well....

I vote ID also. Whats your feeling?

I say ID as well.

I always thought they were ID One has a different smile than the other (sorry I'm not sure who is who!!) but apart from that they do look like two peas from the same pod (as opposed to what my DH says about ours - different pod, same fertiliser )

I vote for ID too. I can't wait to hear the results.

I vote ID

What a crack up

Belinda

I've always thought your gorgeous girls were ID. Can't wait to hear your results!

LOL maybe you should set up a poll.

I think ID.

Two of my year 11/12 friends were ID twins, however they didn't really look the same at all once I got to know them(didn't even sound the same on the phone) They were the same height, same shape, same weight, but their faces were different, though alot of people always got & still do confuse them.

Sorry for the ramble, but I've always just assumed your girls were ID given that if my friends didn't look alike & they were ID, I just assumed your girls must be.

LOL DG, I'm not sure they will EVER be allowed out!

Thanks for all the compliments everyone. At least I know I can do something right .

It's funny, I don't think they look anything alike but hardly anyone can tell them apart. Their gym teacher has only just worked it out after seeing them every week for 2 years!

OMG Donna, I just noticed your sig - congratulations

Sorry to barge in.. Mum of twins times 2 here..

But I say that the gorgeous girls are ID....

I have two sets of fraternal twins and they are way so so different...

What gorgeous sigs I have seen here in this thread!!

You all make beautiful babies.

I hope its ok to BARGE in even when you only here..

Nicolie

I just want say your gorgeous girls are just that GORGEOUS and so have to be ID.

I often peak in on the twin threads as I still feel like a twin mummy, even though our girls are in our hearts and not our arms.

I also especially love to see how your girls are growing and developing as we expected our daughters would/should have been born around September/October of 2003, and our first born twin was named Paige

You truly are so blessed, i'm sure you cherish every minute of your girls and being a mum of 'ID' twins...

hugs

Oh Laney, please don't ever think that you don't belong in here .

I vote ID.



Always a twin mum Laney, Forever and ever.

Anyone want to put a last guess in??

I got a letter today stating that the results are in and could I confirm that I still want them (apparently a lot of people change their minds). I've sent that off today so I hope to have the results in my hot little hands next week .

I'll guess ID. Good luck.

I'll have a shot too - I'm going with i.d. How exciting!!

I was just wondering about this today - spooky!! I said ID at the beginning - I still think ID. Exciting now!!

I was wondering the other day if you had your results yet!

I'm going to go with my original vote and say ID! Will be waiting (like everyone else ) anxiously for next week!!

Identical for sure

Definitely ID (IMHO!!)

I still say ID

Oooo- I am excited now too
My guess is also ID. After meeting them IRL I am even more sure

I'll go with ID.

I think Fraternal, I can see a couple of differences (eg nose) but it could be just the camera angle.

I would say ID too..

I need more photos before I make a decision LOL.

(plus they are gorgeous... )

I haven't read the update yet, only looked at page 1 and the pic and I'm hoping they are ID, that would have been my guess anyway. Off to look at the update now.




ETA -The results aren't in yet???

OT - My girls are ID ( yeah had the test) yet to me they can look totally different, check out the sig below.

Definitely ID vote from me! When will you know?

Since I am expecting a boy and a girl, I will always know that mine are fraternal.

I think your beautiful girls are identical. Can't wait to see the results.

They just have to be ID. I have met them IRL quite a few times and always have to remember which was who by what she was wearing

Hi
Absolutely ID.............. They are beautiful.

I have id girls now 17 months and most people cannot tell them apart.....

Can't wait to find out.....

Deb

Well they are.....




















IDENTICAL


I had my doubts, but I'm glad I know for sure now (so I can correct well meaning little old ladies in the shops )

Yay!

Wow, stalking at this time of night pays off!!

I was right, I was right!! Glad to hear you've got the definite answer....however do you think the "well meaning grannies" are going to believe you!! They'll still provide you with their own test results!!!
