Twins?!

by Brittony
(PA)

Are there two??

Are there two??

I am about 4-5 weeks along. We went in today for our first U/S (vaginal) and the doctor found 2 gestational sacs, but only said she sees one yolk sac. However, there was not an oppotunity for her to get a better view of the second gestational sac. We go back in one week to get another U/S done to see for sure.

What does anybody else think?

Same thing when I was 6 weeks. One sac had a heartbeat, the other, just a yolk sac. a week later, they both were there.. what a surprise. I really thought the other one vanished but now I know he/she was only hiding from me =]

starstarstarstarstar 		Confused and need advice
by: Anonymous

I have had 2 ultrasounds. The first one was last week and showed one sac that had nothing in it. They did a quanitative HCG and my numbers doubled like normal. Today I went back for another ultrasound, and there were 2 sacs. One is nice and round with a yolk sac in there, the other one is oblonged shaped. Could this mean twins???? My HCG levels were at 7K on Thursday last week.

So I had a bleeding scare on Friday and was given two separate ultrasounds that day. Each one showed one sac. Today I went in for a follow up ultrasound and we saw 2 sacs! I am at 5w 5ds. Has anyone ever experienced this?

starstarstarstarstar 		Two Sacs Only One Yolk
by: Tonya

I have a complicated history. When I was pregnant with my first child, the Dr missed the fact that it was ectopic. My tubed ruptured around 3 and 1/2 months and I was in bad shape. This left me with only one tube, but both ovaries. I later got pregnant again with my beautiful daughter. I am considered "high risk" because I have only one tube. For this reason, I am seen as soon as I take a pregnancy test and get a positive result. Anyway, I am pregnant again and the ultrasound at 6 wks 1 day shows 2 sacs. However there is only one yolk. I go back Friday(2/25/11) for yet another ultrasound, to see if the twin has developed or vanished. I'm just curious to see how many people have had this happen and how many actually end up with twins!

I am around 5wks. had my first sono & there are clearly 2 sacs. One you can see has something inside it. The second one looks empty. I go back in 2 weeks. The dr wasn't so sure it was twins, but the sono tech said it clearly was. Im so confused & nervous.

starstarstarstarstar 		Two sacs one yolk
by: Megan

I went back on 11/10 I was 6wks and 3 days we heard a heartbeat in the sac that has the yolk. The other sac still looked empty and the doc said it looks like I started a twin pregnancy but it didnt take. The sac is still there though. He said it may aborsbed or I may pass it out. I go back on 12/1. I'll keep you all posted. Thanks for the commenting as I have been very nervous. This is my first baby. I will keep everyone in my prayers!

starstarstarstarstar 		Update from Pam
by: Pam

All has worked out well for me... I am now 11w2d with twins! At my 6w4d ultrasound, we saw both heartbeats. Baby A, (the one that had the yolk sac) has consistently measured SMALLER than Baby B ( which had no yolk sad at 5w6d)! Both are growing normal and I've had at least 5 U/S already because of 3 different bleeding episodes. They could not see any reason for any of the bleeding incidents (except the first which was a small clot outside the uterus)... All seems ok though and I'll get scanned again a week from tomorrow by the maternal-fetal medicine doc for mu nucheal fold test. For now, all is good and so excited to be having twins! Good Luck to you! Let us know how it works out for you!

starstarstarstarstar 		2 gest sacs, 1 yolk sac at 5w6d
by: Pam

Same thing for me... I went in on 5w6d and u/s showed clearly two gest. sacs. One larger than the other. The small one had a yolk sac in it. The larger one appeared to have nothing in it, but due to the location on the u/s, doc said she couldn't be sure if there was a yolk sac hiding down in the whiter area of the scan inside the larger sac. She said it was still very early. We did not see any heartbeats. She said 4-5 days can make an unbelievable difference. I go back at 6w4d which is 10/14. So nervous, cuz this is our 2nd IVF attempt. First IVF resulted in conception, but no heartbeat at 6w4d or each week there after for 3 weeks. Baby had stopped growing at 6w2d. Praying that at least one of my twins shows a heartbeat at this upcoming u/s.
