Please give me your feedback! I am almost 6 weeks pregnant with extremely high HcG levels. My 1st u/s was at 5 wks exactly & they only saw 1 gestational sac. Im going back next week & am so anxious to find out if I have a 2nd one hiding. Has this ever happened to anyone? PLEASE GIVE ME YOUR FEEDBACK IF SO!!!! ↓
My HCG levels were high too. I had a 5 week U/S showing 2 sacs, then 6w2d U/S showing two fetuses both with heartbeats. At my 8w2d U/S, they found a third baby! It is an identical twin (shares a placenta) so it was too close to see clearly apparently. YES!! It happens! ↑
Both kinda. We underwent IVF putting back 2 embryos, but came up with 3 because one split sometime after transfer. So two parts assisted, one part natural :-) ↑
I had an ultrasound done at 7 weeks exactly... it looked like one baby but after we have looked carefully we think there might be another one because they said there is something under the placenta of the one baby they deteted with a heartbeat. My ultrasound looks like a heart shaped uterus with a line across the bottom triangle of the bottom of the heart with something there that looks like a white peanut shape and then there is another one above it which they confirmed was a baby... they said there was a pocket of something under it... waiting for a doctor appointment at 10 weeks to investigate .... got 2 weeks to go....what are the chances if on baby was detected with a heartbeat but not the other one.. that we will have a successful pregnancy of one baby.... ? any thoughts would be appreciated..... ↑
I had an ultrasound at 6wks due to weird HCG levels and was told that there were two gestational sacs but only one had a fetal pole. I didn't think much of it, but at my first visit to the OB at 10wks, I told them about my 6wk ultrasound which prompted them to do another right then and there. They saw both sacs and each with a baby in it. Of course I cried :-) ↑
Here's a follow up to my original question....I went in for my 2nd u/s during week 6, & they found only one heartbeat, 1 sac. I was totally depressed, which I know is wrong. I should be happy that I have a healthy heartbeat. But my physician & NPs had me believing I had at least 2 babies. I had my heart set on twins & was let down. I still keep having this unrationale feeling that there might be some chance they still might find 2 but I know it's not going to happen. I'm completely hormonal & depressed, and am going to counseling next week. I know my attitude will change as time goes by. I'm almost 35 & really wanted to get a shot at having 2 kids at once. Oh well.... ↑
Not exactly the same scenario. However, I too had high HcG levels and I just went for my 6 week u/s and they saw only 1 gestational sac with clearly 1 fetal pole and yoke sac with a beating heart. But something else resembling another heart beat showed as well. Although it didn't appear to have it's own yoke sac. ??? Im not quite sure what this is indicative of. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this? Could this be another healthy fetus without having it's own yoke sac?Im very nervous and anxious to know what exactly is going on. I am scheduled to go back in 1 week for a repeat u/s. ↑
I went in for several u/s after I found out I was pg. I am a fertility patient, so was QUITE excited to be pg for the 1st time. Dr. told me he couldn't find the baby...maybe ectopic. Had LOW hCG levels, was very scared. Dr. sent me to hospital to have laprioscopy, hospital did u/s and found baby right where it was supposed to be! Horray! Now I'm 7w2d. On 04 Jan, had another u/s and Dr. found heartbeat! Another Horray! :) Now, new problems though, baby looks like only 6 weeks, and Dr thinks I may have tumor...to me, it looks like maybe a second baby??? This did not show up on u/s 4 days prior...don't think fibroid could grow THAT quick??? It looks like it has it's own sac, but the inside of the sac is unclear, and I don't think Dr looked for heartbeat on that one. Having hard time understanding everything Dr tries to tell me. I'm living in a foreign country, as hubby is military, so communication is not the greatest. Have appt with American doc on 14th for 2nd opinion, so will update then. To my understanding, most women who have twins have HIGH hCG levels, but, again, fertility patient with high BP and smoker...almost non!!! :) Anyone else ever had this? Thanks ladies, and good luck to all of you!!! ↑
I have some problems at 6w the Doctor sent me home because the eco give an econegative image of a baby of 6w, it was too small. Al 10w they did another eco and really have 2 sacs/2 babies. I was really happy and was unexpected. Noting anormal in HcG level. Good luck and dont worry. :o) ↑
FOLLOW UP FROM ORIGINAL QUESTION: Unfortunately, my next u/s only showed one baby. I REALLY WANTED TWINS!! Currently I'm already 14 1/2 wks& I did just find out good news from the CVS test- we're having a healthy baby girl. ↑
I had my first ultrasound today I am 15 weeks and they found two sacs but only one baby. Is it possible there are two babies just could see the other one because it was behind the other? ↑
hi yes it happened with me. i did 1st ultra on 6weeks 4 days it shows one heart beat.i did it 3 days ago it shows i am having a twins.Im now week 11.send me mails to ng05@aub.edu.lb to share info. ↑
That happened to me yesterday morning...I found out I'm having ID twin girls (it was my 18 week sono) I had my first sono @ 6 weeks and since they are identical they share a sac so she said Baby B must have been hiding. The songographer was completely surprised-she said after 24 years of doing it she has never missed seeing a twin.....it definitely happens!!!! ↑
Congrats to all the mommies having twins!!!
I went in for u/s yesterday. Dr found 2 sacs but one heartbeat. He scheduled another u/s in 3 weeks. I CAN'T WAIT! LOL ↑
Sorry to hijack this thread but I have a similar question...
I have recently had an u/s at 5.5 weeks, ultrasonographer said there was a singleton live fetus and he measured the heartbeat at 146bpm.
This is my 4th pregnancy and when I got my results i looked at the U/S pics and DH and I could both see what looked like a 2nd fetus in the same black space (which I think is the sac but I don't know much about this stuff) it was identical to what the ultrasonographer pointed out as being the fetus but it was paler and harder to see...
What are the chances he got it wrong? could I be having twins? what else could this second "spot" be?
I really don't know much about what all this stuff means and i know absolutely nothing about twin pregnancy so any information/advice would be much appreciated :)
I was 6 wks 6 days and only saw one fetus, returned for second ultrasound at 8 wks 2 days and saw two heartbeats. It was identical twin ( shared placenta). ↑
I am 7w and had an unplanned U/S yesterday--examiner found the womb to be larger than 7w. U/S revealed two sacks, one empty and one fetal pole with heartbeat. It was hard for the examiner to get the U/S of the successful sack. Anyone else have something similar? I am wondering what my chances are that everythign will be ok. ↑
I had an ultasound at 9 wks showing one baby. Another at 14 weeks but the tech said the uterus was mostly behind the pelvis and she couldn't get any clear pics. Now I am 18 weeks and my HcG is sky high, uterus big for age and they say it may be twins. Could they miss it twice? ↑
In response to Shan.. I went for 3 scans. The first scan was at 8 weeks where there was only 1 heartbeat and I could clearly see only one fetus. At 12 weeks, exactly the same. Finally at 18 weeks, the scan picked up two boy babies. So finding out that I was expecting twins with only 4 months left of my pregnancy was quite a shock! HOWEVER, at 5 months of age, they are best thing that ever happened to my husband and I ↑
I'm 6 weeks and had 1st u/s where they said that I had 2 sacs but one is empty. My hcg has dropped slightly over the past 2 days, but doc said that it may drop before going up. I'm trying to find out if this has happened to anyone else. They saw the two sacs right away with me, though. ↑
I had my first ultrasound @ 6 wks. One baby. Started spotting on the weekend of week 7. Went back for ultrasound the next monday. TWINS!! 2 heartbeart!!! Great surprise! 1 is 7 days younger? ↑
I had an ultrasound at 8 w and it showed 2 sacs with 1 hearbeat. The dr said he belived the other sac to be a vanishing twin. I am now 14W and am showing much larger than I did with my first pregnancy and am extremely exhausted. After looking at the ultrasound again tonight I am wondering if it really could actually be twins. (especially after reading some of these other responses) One sac is definately smaller but there is something in it. My next ultrasound is at 18W. Guess I will find out then! ↑
I had a us on Monday and i'm 7w 3 days. they said they saw 2 fetal poles but only one heartbeat. I'm confused what are fetal poles and i did have spotting this past weekend is it possible for one not to make it and the other to be fine? ↑
Hello I had an US at 6w 3 days and they said there were two sacs with only one having a baby inside,and called it failed twins,is there really a chance there is another floating around hiding and it will pop up later? ↑
I went to the Dr at 16wks and since daddy is in Iraq I wanted to record the heart beat for him. The first heartbeat was found on the right middle of my belly and was 148 beats per min and when the Dr came in she found a faster and stronger heartbeat on the left middle side with 152 beats per min. The Dr says maybe it could be twins but for some strange reason my belly is so much bigger than most others at four months. I have an u/s sched for 20 weeks. They say the heart beats should be 10 beats a part for twins but when I listen to the recording I hear two different beats. Has this happened to anyone else? Or am I just way too excited about the possibility of twins????? ↑
Hi everyone i also checked with the dr. last saturday because i had bleeding i was 3 and a few days to 4th week. he said it does not show that you have twins but in the blood test it was very high so he said u might have twins. today i have an ultrasound. i will keep my figer crossed. ↑
hi everybody, CONGRATS to all future mothers, i hope all goes well, im in a lil problem of my own and wondering if theres others out there, im supposed to be 9 weeks according to the doctor but i think im about 6 or 7 because my pregnancy test didnt come out poisitive till a week and a half after my missed period, now i went for a sonogram last week and they saw a sack with no fetus in it. then they scheduled me for another one this week and saw 2 sacks but still no heartbeat or fetus. im scared and dont know what to expect they finally sent me for a blood test so im just waiting for the results, anybody in the same boat??? and god bless to all of you ↑
