Abnormal ultrasound at 5 weeks? Two sacs?

[sxb]

Hi ladies!

Some background. My first son took us over 2 years to conceive, but with the help of metformin it worked. He is now 18 months old.

We decided to go back to fertility to prepare for #2 and I literally got pregnant the first month of trying. I know the exact day that was successful...fathers day. I am now about 5 weeks pregnant.

Went in for an ultrasound and you could see a small sac, but it sort of looked like a number 8 or like two bubbles stuck together. The doc said it could be an abnormal pregnancy or two sacs, but that it was too soon to tell. She said if its one sac it could be extra fluid. She isn't my normal doc and I was not happy with the news. It has just made me worry even more. I have been crying all day because she said it could be an abnormal sac.

Again it looked like two bubbles stuck together and there was a faint line between them. They asked me to come back next week. My hcg is still increasing.

Are you sure you're not just pregnant with twins?

Seems odd that they wouldn't throw that out there from what you're describing.


Did they give you a picture? And if so, can you post it?

This was taken further along (7 weeks) but you get the idea. Did it look something like this?

The doc took a while to say anything and just said that it look like it is either an abnormal sac, a sac with extra fluid, or two sacs. She said it was too hard to tell. They didn't offer any pics, but from what I could see...it just looked like a sac with a thin line between. She then backtracked and said..."we'll its still early so next week we can et a better picture."

Fingers crosses its twins. Early scans van cause sooo many problems and worries. Try to relax and a later scan will be easyier for the doc to tell FX xx

Yes I'd definitely say 5 weeks is way too early to declare whether anything is abnormal yet!

7 weeks is when I managed to see something of my baby and I saw the heartbeat too, so I'd insist on getting checks from 7 weeks onwards so you can get a better idea!

I'd probably say a possibility of twins. Because isn't it identical twins split from the same cell??

Please don't worry it is too early to tell and that's why they'll be following up next week. Can you maybe ask for your regular doctor for next time??
