Hi...I am now 8 weeks 3 days pregnant after IVF. At my 4 1/2 wk U/S, there were 2 gestational sacs. One was irregular in shape with no yolk sac. The other appeared normal in hsape with a yolk sac. Last Thursday I started bleeding heavily, U/S has showed that one fetus remains healthy and growing with a strong heart rate of 170. The other sac measures 6 wks 5 days and has a hemorrhage inside. So I am miscarrying a twin...but the MD said the next few weeks are critical because I could lose the other healthy fetus. Has anyone ever experienced this and gone on to have ahealthy pregnancy with the one twin left??? Please help me!! ↓

As long as they are in their own sac and don't share a placenta things should be fine. If they are identical and the one twin died due to a genetic problem, then they would both have it, so that is probably why the DR is cautious at this point. But if it is VTS, your chances are real good for the surviving twin to go to term. ↑

your baby will be just fine only when the sacs are together or when you are much further along would this affect the other baby so congrats and calm your nerves ↑

CS-From what I read your baby should be OK. I just delivered twins in Feb. Girl, I had such a bumpy ride. Lots of bleeding spells and large clots... I was told that I could lose one of my twins because of a fibroid... I was told that I would deliver very early... Perhaps, 28 wks. Although, I had gotten alittle emotional... I proved them all wrong. Have alittle faith, girl. My twins were fine and I made it to 38wks. Keep faith and try and remain positive for you and your baby. Tell your child that you love him or her daily. That gave me strength and I believe my twins. Try not to read any and everything... That causes anxiety. I haven't gone through a healthy pregnancy with one twin left but I had my own difficulties and I made it and so can you and your baby. Doctors said so many things but I had to pray and claim my own belief. Thats what you must do... Doctors aren't God. Believe that your next few wks will be fine. I will keep checking back. Praying for you! All will be well. ↑
