5 Week Ultrasound - Two Sacs & Possible Twins

Worried about vanishing twin...

Worried about vanishing twin...

I had my first ultrasound at what I though was 6 weeks 2 days. However the u/s tech told me I was only 5 weeks. I'm not really worried about that considering it would make more sense in terms of possible conception dates. Anyways, the tech said, "Do you see what I see?" when he began the ultrasound and that's pretty much when I stopped paying attention since I did see that there were two sacs and my mind started racing.

Anyways, I cannot remember what the sac on the right looked like during the ultrasound and if this was just a bad picture. I know sometimes, depending on the angle, not everything is caught but in the picture it looks like it is empty. Has anyone else had an experience with this? My next u/s is Friday and I will be 7 weeks. Hopefully we see two heartbeats!

my first ultrasound looked alot like yours except nothing appeared in either sac and i was six weeks. i'm sorry to say but i went back to the doctor at 9 weeks and realized that one twin had "vanished". i still feel that the other twin is "hiding".(wishful thinking)but i hope all goes well for u!

hi! may i know what's your update on your 2nd ultrasound? we have almost the same case, i had my 1st ultrasound based on my last menstrual period i am 6w4d but based on the ultrasound age the baby's size is just less than 6 weeks, the tech saw 1 gestational sac, 2 yolk sacs, but only 1 has an embryo with a good cardiac activity. i have to go back for another scan after 2 weeks to chek if the other one continued to grow and have a heartbeat or it can vanish and not continue..

my daughter 1st sono looked very simalar to this. They told her it was a blood clot. I not sure I would agree. Hers was done at 7 weeks, 3 days. Has another tom. They did see the heartbeat. So cool.

It does look empty, but it's so early on so they're teeny tiny! So, never know! Ultrasound pictures can be tricky anyhow! Hope you'll let us know what you find out Friday!
