Hope everything works out for you!</p> <p>@Pumuckl: This is reassuring! Thank you!</p> <p>@Mrs. Blue: Thank you! I'm hoping he's just trying to be cautious for the time being. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-sacs-but-doctor-wont-confirm-twins#post-2723586 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 15:43:56 +0000 Run2shore 2723586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pumuckl so happy to hear your experience! and congrats on your new babies </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-sacs-but-doctor-wont-confirm-twins#post-2723419 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 12:01:58 +0000 Mrs. Blue 2723419@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had our first ultrasound at 8 weeks and they could confirm then that it was twins. Honestly, I'm not sure what all they look for to confirm or not, but it make sense to me that being so early, he might just want to be cautious for another couple weeks until they can see more development. </p> <p>Fingers crossed for two healthy, precious babies! It is a crazy, fun ride. :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-sacs-but-doctor-wont-confirm-twins#post-2723313 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 10:07:23 +0000 Pumuckl 2723313@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTal: @Run2shore: Congratulations to the new twin mamas! My OB saw two sacs at 6/7 weeks and also cautioned us that there is a real possibility of one or both vanishing. It all worked out though and they are now 11 weeks old. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-sacs-but-doctor-wont-confirm-twins#post-2723310 Wed, 12 Apr 2017 10:01:03 +0000 Run2shore 2723310@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrstal I just had an ultrasound last night at 6wks. The ultrasound showed two sacs, and two heats beats. My midwife is saying "twins" but also cautioning us that it is early. It is very hard to not get too excited. This is coming as quite a surprise. Twins do not run in my family! I hope everything works out for you. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-sacs-but-doctor-wont-confirm-twins#post-2721103 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 19:26:50 +0000 MrsTal 2721103@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: thank you!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-sacs-but-doctor-wont-confirm-twins#post-2721085 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 19:14:31 +0000 FaithFertility 2721085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTal: No advice but wanted to say Congratulations! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-sacs-but-doctor-wont-confirm-twins#post-2721033 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 18:11:06 +0000 MrsTal 2721033@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: thank you!</p> <p>@meadow: I'm already concerned about loosing one. 8 know it's early days but both those little embryos are very much wanted. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-sacs-but-doctor-wont-confirm-twins#post-2721011 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 17:43:25 +0000 meadow 2721011@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTal: I think our first was around 6 weeks when we confirmed twins. I read a bunch on vanishing twins and was so nervous we would lose one! @bluestriped bee: me too!</p> <p>Keep the positive thoughts - there is power to them. I'm thinking happy thoughts for you too!!! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-sacs-but-doctor-wont-confirm-twins#post-2720935 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 15:25:24 +0000 twodoghouse 2720935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTal: I still remember those stressful early days between appointments. Sending lots of good, calming vibes between now and your next US! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-sacs-but-doctor-wont-confirm-twins#post-2720815 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 12:54:24 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2720815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsTal: After bleeding (gushing) and cramps at 5+ weeks I had an u/s that showed what looked like a sac breaking down and then one sac "with something there" that turned out to be my son. It's probably just very early to confirm. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-sacs-but-doctor-wont-confirm-twins#post-2720811 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 12:48:19 +0000 travellingbee 2720811@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congrats!

Which after all the reading I did today after the appointment it makes sense. Just nerve wracking. </p> <p>@tequiero21: that reassuring and gives me hope, thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-sacs-but-doctor-wont-confirm-twins#post-2720805 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 12:34:43 +0000 tequiero21 2720805@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At five weeks and change after ivf, we transferred two, they would only confirm one and said there was a possibility of two. Didn't confirm two until next us,but even then, they kept saying one was smaller or measuring behind.... but then, it started catching up and by the end of it, my kids came out both 6 5. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-sacs-but-doctor-wont-confirm-twins#post-2720786 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 12:03:24 +0000 BSB 2720786@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@twodoghouse: Yeah, at every u/s, I held my breath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-sacs-but-doctor-wont-confirm-twins#post-2720779 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 11:47:52 +0000 twodoghouse 2720779@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At my first US after IVF (I want to say it was just over 6 weeks), we saw two sacs and two heartbeats, but my RE still said so much can happen with twins in the first few weeks and we'd check again at the next US. So we proceeded as "cautiously optimistic" until 2 weeks later when we confirmed that they were both still growing. Congrats on your pregnancy! I will keep my fingers crossed for your two sacs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-sacs-but-doctor-wont-confirm-twins#post-2720777 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 11:45:56 +0000 MrsTal 2720777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pickle: thank you! Our doctor did tell us not to be surprised if there was only one next ultrasound. Kind of sad about it really. </p> <p>@Colee: my next ultrasound is two weeks from today. My initial beta at 11dpo was 84, 13 dpo 228, then 17 dpo 1130. Quite a bit higher than my last pregnancy.</p> <p>@bluestriped bee: yeah, I believe that's what he's waiting on which we should see in two weeks. It's just frustrating not really knowing what's happening. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-sacs-but-doctor-wont-confirm-twins#post-2720763 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 11:27:38 +0000 BSB 2720763@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My memory is kinda fuzzy but I think your dr will want to see if there are a fetal pole in each sac. Then a few weeks later, check heart beats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-sacs-but-doctor-wont-confirm-twins#post-2720762 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 11:27:26 +0000 Colee 2720762@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't have an ultrasound that early, but we found out we were having twins at my 6 week ultrasound with my RE. There were two sacs, two fetal poles, and two heartbeats. When's your next ultrasound? Also have you had your hCG tested? It's definitely not a guarantee, but often hCG levels are higher with multiples. Mine were really high! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-sacs-but-doctor-wont-confirm-twins#post-2720753 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 11:18:51 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2720753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Congratulations on your pregnancy! </p> <p>I don't want to be a downer, but he probably wouldn't confirm because of the chances of a vanishing twin. I had a vanishing twin after seeing two heartbeats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/two-sacs-but-doctor-wont-confirm-twins#post-2720731 Thu, 06 Apr 2017 10:41:21 +0000 MrsTal 2720731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi all! Had an early US today with my RE at 4w5d and we saw two sacs (we knew it was a good possibility with our iui). However the doctor said it's too early to say it's twins for sure. Just wondering if any other multiple mommas had a similar experience and how it turned out for you? </p>
